This Yang Liang is a member of the Standing Committee of the Beijiang Provincial Committee and the commander of the Provincial Military Region.

It can be seen from Li Guanhua's attitude towards Yang Liang that Li Guanhua admires him very much.

No wonder three sets of tableware were placed, it turned out that the other guest was Yang Liang.

"The commander's words are orders, and it is a soldier's bounden duty to obey orders. Okay, I'll drink three drinks in a row to apologize."

The correspondent filled Yang Liang's wine glass, and he drank three glasses in a row calmly.

"Well, yes, the soldiers I brought out are very energetic." Li Guanhua was very satisfied and introduced Li Yuanlang to Yang Liang.

"Hello, Commander Yang." Li Yuanlang took the initiative to say hello.

Although Yang Liang was respectful in front of Li Guanhua, there was no need to treat Li Yuanlang.

After all, he is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Li Yuanlang's leader.

After sitting down again, Yang Liang asked Li Yuanlang, "Is this your first time coming to Beijiang?"

Li Yuanlang answered truthfully: "When I was serving in Donghe Province, I came to Keqi City once, but it was only more than ten years ago."

Yang Liang nodded, "Beijiang is not as good as Dongha in all aspects, and Lam Kiu City is the most complicated place in Beijiang Province. Comrade Yuen Long, your burden is not light."

Li Yuanlang had heard about these difficulties for a long time, so it was not surprising.

Next, the three of them drank and chatted, and the topic revolved around Lam Kiu City and Bac Giang Province.

Mainly Yang Liang introduced some situations in Lanqiao City, focusing on Mayor Fan Jun.

Fan Jun is highly regarded by Zhang Quanlin, the provincial leader. There is another person among them, Tang Jiang, secretary of the Yuge County Party Committee.

Tang Jiang once served as secretary to Secretary Nie Shuanghan of the Provincial Party Committee for five years.

It can be said that he is a subordinate that Nie Shuanghan is very optimistic about.

Lanqiao City currently has 12 members of the Standing Committee. According to usual practice, one additional member of the Standing Committee needs to be added.

As the county under the jurisdiction of Lanqiao City with the best economic development, Yuge County is very promising for Tangjiang.

It's just that he is not the only one who is closely eyeing the position of the Standing Committee. The biggest competitor is Wu Zhixian, secretary of the Shangcheng District Party Committee.

The seat of the city government is in Shangcheng District, and Wu Zhixian's previous terms were all members of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee. Since he took over as secretary, there has been no solution, and Wu Zhixian has great objections to this.

The decision-making power of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee lies with the Provincial Party Committee, but the Municipal Party Committee has the power to recommend and advise.

The key point is that this position must be solved locally in Lanqiao, and the attitude of the municipal party committee is particularly important.

Li Yuanlang did not expect that before he took office, he would be faced with a difficult choice.

Finally, Yang Liang said meaningfully, "Comrade Bian Qingwei, political commissar of the Lanqiao Military Division, is worthy of trust."

Li Yuanlang knew this very well and offered Yang Liang a glass of wine alone.

All in all, I gained a lot from this visit to Li Guanhua.

Of course, with a bottle of liquor as the price, Li Yuanlang was already light-headed and dizzy when he left Li Guanhua's house.

Back in the hotel room, Fang Yan was busy for a while making strong tea for Li Yuanlang and putting wet towels on him.

After drinking some hot tea and putting a warm wet towel on his forehead, Li Yuanlang finally felt better.

Lying in bed, he asked Fang Yan how to prepare dinner.

Fang Yan then said: "I ate in the hotel restaurant and didn't have to go far, so I can be there whenever you are called."

"oh."

"Secretary, I have something to report to you. When I checked out, someone paid the bill for me."

"Is there such a thing?" Li Yuanlang was a little surprised.

"During dinner, a young man came over to shake hands and chat with me. He was the secretary of Tang Jiang, secretary of the Yuge County Party Committee. Secretary Tang came to the provincial capital for business and happened to have dinner there, and he paid me the bill by the way."

Fang Yan recounted: "I wanted to return the money to them, but Secretary Tang refused to agree to anything. He also said that it was his honor to settle the bill for me and entrusted me to take it with you."

Li Yuanlang sneered: "This Tang Jiang is really thoughtful."

If Yang Liang hadn't revealed it, Li Yuanlang would have thought that Tang Jiang came to the provincial capital specially to show his courtesy.

It is estimated that in order to be promoted to the Standing Committee, Li Yuanlang went to the province specifically to find Nie Shuanghan's connections. As for whether Li Yuanlang was keeping an eye on his whereabouts, he didn't know.

From this, he thought about why Li Guanhua did not send a military vehicle to pick him up, and Yang Liang came to the banquet in casual clothes.

Everything was deliberately kept low-key, which just showed that the situation in Beijiang Province was much more complicated than he imagined.

A night of silence.

As soon as he went to work the next morning, Bai Xianwen, the Organization Director of the Beijiang Provincial Party Committee, appeared in Nie Shuanghan's office.

"Comrade Xianwen is here." Nie Shuanghan flipped through the documents and quickly signed, then stood up and asked Bai Xianwen to sit on the sofa.

"Secretary Nie, Li Yuanlang is here to report today. Can you see him?"

Nie Shuanghan touched his sparse back, thought for a moment and said, "You meet him on my behalf, and I will disappear."

Bai Xianwen pondered for a moment and said: "Li Yuanlang is the son-in-law of Chief Lu. If you don't see me, will it be..."

Nie Shuanghan smiled coldly, "As far as I know, Li Yuanlang and his wife have a lot of quarrels. Their relationship is cold. It's hard to say whether he can become the son-in-law of the Lu family."

"If the chief cherishes him, how could he be allowed to come to Beijiang, and how could he go to Lanqiao City? Don't look at the surface of everything, but have to consider it deeply."

Bai Xianwen nodded thoughtfully, already having an idea in his mind.

At the same time, Li Yuanlang had arrived at the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee twenty minutes early.

The person who received him was Man Zhiyong, executive deputy director of the Organization Department.

He opened his mouth and said: "Comrade Li Yuanlang, Minister Bai is temporarily unavailable because of something, so he has entrusted me to talk to you."

According to the procedure, Man Zhiyong announced the appointment decision of the provincial party committee and asked Li Yuanlang for his opinions.

Li Yuanlang followed suit and resolutely obeyed the organization's decisions.

After listening to Li Yuanlang's statement, Man Zhiyong said: "The Provincial Party Committee and the Organization Department are very satisfied with Comrade Li Yuanlang's realization. We will set off on time at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and I will personally take you to Lanqiao City."

"Thank you to the Provincial Party Committee and the Organization Department for the arrangement." Li Yuanlang stood up at the right time and shook hands with Man Zhiyong.

When they parted, Man Zhiyong said: "The increase in the number of standing committee members in Lanqiao City has been approved by the Provincial Party Committee. Comrade Li Yuanlang, after you take office, you must draw up a candidate list and submit it to the Organization Department."

"After our study, we will submit it to the provincial party committee for a final decision. We must hurry up on this matter, as too long is not conducive to stability and unity."

"Okay, I will definitely comply with it."

The conversation was short and to the point.

Just when Li Yuanlang left the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, far away in the Shangcheng District Party Committee building in Lanqiao City, District Party Secretary Wu Zhixian was working, and Ma Honglu, director of the District Party Office, knocked on the door and came in.

"Honglu, what's the matter?" Wu Zhixian raised his head and looked at Ma Honglu.

Ma Honglu sat down opposite him and reminded him kindly: "Secretary Wu, Tang Jiang went to the provincial capital, why are you still indifferent? If you don't take action, the cucumbers and vegetables will be cold."

Wu Zhixian put down the gel pen in his hand, took a sip from the teacup, and said slowly: "Tang Jiang is Secretary Nie's secretary, and he is highly appreciated by Secretary Nie. From this point of view, I have no advantage. Since there is no advantage,

, all the fussing around won’t work at all, just leave it to fate.”

Ma Honglu frowned and said anxiously: "Secretary Wu, you are making things simple. Tang Jiang went to the provincial capital at this juncture. In addition to meeting Secretary Nie, didn't you think of anything else?"

"What else?" Wu Zhi blinked and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "You mean, it's possible for him to meet the new Secretary Li?"

Ma Honglu slapped his thigh and exclaimed: "Isn't it! Today is the registration date, and Secretary Li is in the provincial capital. Based on Tang Jiang's calculations, he can find a hundred reasons to meet Secretary Li by chance."

"The reason why the Provincial Party Committee has shelved the issue of selecting additional members of the Standing Committee is to wait until Secretary Li takes office and recommend him to the Provincial Party Committee. At this time, leaving a good impression on Secretary Li is the key among the keys. Secretary Wu must pay attention to it.

.”

Why doesn't Wu Zhixian know?

But he also has difficulties.

He was succeeded as district party secretary by the district mayor.

Before the old secretary retired, he repeatedly recommended to the provincial party committee, and finally got his wish, and Wu Zhixian was able to succeed him.

However, the provincial party committee approved the appointment, but there was no further action on his concurrent appointment as a standing committee member of the municipal party committee.

Because the location of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government is within the jurisdiction of Shangcheng District.

The previous three consecutive district party secretaries also served as members of the municipal party committee’s standing committee.

By being able to enter the Municipal Standing Committee, the district party secretary will be promoted from the director level to the deputy department level. More importantly, members of the Municipal Standing Committee are members of the decision-making level and have a pivotal position.

Since there was no one above, Wu Zhixian had long given up hope on this matter.

After Ma Honglu's reminder, my thoughts came back to mind.
