When the person who spoke revealed his true face, Li Yuanlang breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be Wu Hongli. She happened to be at her cousin's house, and she called her "Cengfan".

Wu Hongli put on a serious face and pretended to be a member of the Discipline Inspection Commission. She looked at the things Li Yuanlang sent her with her hands behind her back, nodded frequently and said, "Well, these things are not expensive. Are there any banknotes hidden in them?"

Wu Hongjuan gave her a gentle push and said, "Hongli, don't be ridiculous, Yuen Long is not an outsider."

"Haha." Wu Hongli couldn't hold back her laughter, her branches trembled wildly, and the most prominent parts of her body trembled non-stop.

"Sister Wu, I thought you were transferred to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. What you did just now really looks like a cadre of the Commission for Discipline Inspection." Li Yuanlang also joked with her. They were familiar with each other and had a good relationship. Let's start with a sentence.

Jokes are normal.

Jin Sheng had just come out of the living room and waved to Li Yuanlang to come into the study to talk.

Wu Hongjuan left after making tea and went to talk to her cousin about knitting techniques. Jin Sheng and Li Yuanlang didn't talk much. What needed to be said had already been said. Jin Sheng just reminded Li Yuanlang that under the current environment of Shuiming Township, he must

We must be cautious and careful, we don't want him to become the second Ji Tianhou and be driven out of Shuiming Township in despair.

While the two were smoking a cigarette, Li Yuanlang stood up and left. Jin Sheng sent him to the door of his house and casually asked him how the Golden Week was arranged.

According to the plan, Li Yuanlang will have a reunion dinner with his father at noon tomorrow and will go to Yunyang in the afternoon. This time it was Shui Qingzhang's idea. If it is convenient for Li Yuanlang, he can go to his house in the evening to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Shui Tingyue was naturally happy. Gu Hongyan saw that her daughter's health was getting better day by day, and she felt like it was all Li Yuanlang's credit. Without him and Lang Yingxuan's acquaintance, Lang Yingxuan would not have been able to personally prepare medicines for her daughter's illness. Shui Ting

Yue won't get better so quickly.

She didn't say thank you, but she didn't object to Shui Qingzhang's invitation to Li Yuanlang to celebrate the festival.

After bidding farewell to Jin Sheng, Li Yuanlang walked to Wang Zumin's house. They both lived in the Standing Committee Courtyard. Jin Sheng's and Wang Zumin's houses were not far from each other, just a few steps away.

Xu Shi, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, was used to it. When Wang Zumin saw Li Yuanlang carrying something in his hand, he immediately said with an unhappy face: "Yuen Long, this is not good. You are not welcome when you come to my house with gifts."

Li Yuanlang chuckled and said: "Minister, I bought the mooncakes and health products from the supermarket for more than two hundred yuan. This box of tea was given by a friend. Visiting friends and family does not count as a gift. If you really feel sorry for it, give it to me later.

Light the tobacco leaves, I heard that the minister’s hometown is rich in yellow tobacco.”

"You Yuen Long man, you came to my place to enjoy the autumn breeze. Well, someone from my hometown just happened to bring me some good tobacco leaves, and I will give you half of it." Wang Zumin turned from anger to joy. Only people who are close to him will ask for gifts in return.

, this shows that Li Yuanlang does not treat him as an outsider, so he is naturally happy.

The two of them were sitting on the sofa, smoking the fine yellow cigarettes from Wang Zumin's hometown. Not to mention, the taste was pure and very strong.

This kind of yellow tobacco has large and thick leaves, rich color, fine tissue, good elasticity, sufficient oil content and strong aroma. It has been previously processed, spraying honey and pure grain liquor on the tobacco, and drying it in the sun. The taste is mellow and soft, and it is ready-made boxed cigarettes.

It's incomparable.

While fuming, Wang Zumin asked Li Yuanlang how he felt during his time in Shuiming Township, and Li Yuanlang answered truthfully. This included the current situation of Shuiming Township, and the education department he was in charge of, which was constrained by a shortage of funds and still owed money to the entire township.

With two months' salary for teachers, it can be said that the future is full of thorns and difficulties.

Wang Zumin deeply understood Li Yuanlang's difficulties and also shared his views. From a different perspective, Wang Zumin helped Li Yuanlang analyze: "The root of Shuiming Township lies in Ma Shengran. He has been in charge of Shuiming Township for a long time and formed cliques.

Forming a deep-rooted local force. It is not in line with our organizational principles for a cadre to work in one place and one position for too long. But you also know that the previous leaders of the county party committee did not mobilize his ideas and even proposed them.

Ma Shengran did not agree to promote him to deputy county magistrate or to the Standing Committee. The reason why he dared to compete with the county committee and ignored the county committee's decision was because he had backers in the province. Often when there was a disturbance in the county, the province

One phone call came, and everything turned out to be in vain. Therefore, if Shuiming Township wants to develop and make major changes, the stumbling block of Ma Shengran must be removed."

It was rare for Wang Zumin and Li Yuanlang to speak so thoroughly, so directly, and even say all the things that were heartfelt. Li Yuanlang was very moved.

Taking another deep breath of cigarette, Wang Zumin sighed deeply: "I have communicated with Secretary Fang about this matter, and also had an in-depth discussion with County Magistrate Jin. To be honest, it is very difficult. In addition to Ma Shengran's paternalistic and arbitrary approach,

No problems have been found in the economy or other aspects, so there is no sufficient reason to move him. More importantly, neither Secretary Fang, County Magistrate Jin nor I have the confidence to do so, and are worried that like previous county leaders, they will be affected by

The pressure from the province, in the end, was all in vain, but only fueled Ma Shengran's arrogance."

"So, Yuen Long, it seems that the situation in Shuiming Township may continue for some time, and you must be prepared for a protracted war." Wang Zumin looked helpless, which also made Li Yuanlang worried.

There is a thick layer of grass ash on top, three words: I am so depressed.

After bidding farewell to Wang Zumin, Li Yuanlang drove to Zheng Haiyang's home. Zheng Haiyang was a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, but he did not live in the Standing Committee Courtyard. He did not like the quiet and bustling life, so he placed his home in the residential building of the County Party Committee.

The area is still based on the treatment of the two -story building lived by the Standing Committee. The entire three floors have opened the two residents and added more than 200 square meters together. It is very spacious. The decoration also takes a simple and elegant style.

Surprisingly, the person who opened the door was Zheng Haixin, the beautiful owner of Guangnan Haixin Tea Art. Li Yuanlang had met her once. The image of Zheng Haixin dressed in white and caressing the guzheng could not be removed from Li Yuanlang's mind.

Zheng Haixin was calm. She recognized Li Yuanlang, her expression was calm, and she said lightly: "You are here." To outsiders, she felt more like an old acquaintance, even though it was only the second time they met.

Li Yuanlang smiled and nodded to Zheng Haixin, asking her brother Zheng Haixin if he was at home.

"He was drinking tea in the living room. You came just in time. He was worried about having no one to play chess with him." Zheng Haixin still wore a set of white clothes and white pants, which perfectly showed off her graceful figure.

She speaks softly and has a unique temperament that gives people an inaccessible feeling. She is really like a fairy from heaven who does not eat the fireworks of the world.

For some reason, Li Yuanlang couldn't let go in front of Zheng Haixin and felt very awkward and nervous.

Following Zheng Haixin to the living room, Li Yuanlang smelled a unique fragrance coming from Zheng Haixin's body. It was definitely not the smell of perfume. He was surprised that Zheng Haixin didn't wear perfume, so how could she smell like flowers? It still smelled like flowers.

There was a Go board in front of Zheng Haiyang. He was holding a black piece in his hand. He was playing the game in two roles. He seemed to be having a great time playing the game.

"Yuen Long, come here quickly and play a game with me." When Zheng Haiyang saw Li Yuanlang, it was like seeing the great savior. He dragged him to sit across from him and asked Li Yuanlang whether he preferred to use white stones or black stones.

Li Yuanlang smiled bitterly. He was really not good at Go, so he started playing backgammon. Zheng Haiyang didn't mind, so he said, "Gobang is fine too. If you play a game with me, no one in the family will dare to play with me."

You think my chess skills are too good and you can't beat me."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Haixin, who was making tea and pouring water at the side, revealed the truth, "Brother, how old are you? You are not ashamed to lie. It's not that we don't play with you, but that your chess skills are too good."

Damn it, if you play and lose every time, no one will have the nerve to beat you, the price will drop."

"Hai Xin," Zheng Haiyang pointed to the kitchen and said, "Go and prepare some fruit with your sister-in-law. Don't hinder Yuen Long and I from playing chess here."

After sending Zheng Haixin out, Zheng Haiyang said while placing the chess pieces: "This game of chess requires a strategy, such as Go. To put it bluntly, it means occupying the territory. The key lies in how to gain the most advantage and maximize the chance of winning. There are ten essences in Go, greed.

If you are not victorious, you should slow down when entering the realm. Attack the opponent and focus on yourself. Abandon your son and fight for the first. Leave the small to go big. When in danger, abandon

, in order to ensure that everything is foolproof and the victory is achieved.”

Seeing Zheng Haiyang talking clearly and eloquently, Li Yuanlang was puzzled, how could he always lose?

Next, Zheng Haiyang talked about backgammon again: "The secret of backgammon is much simpler. It emphasizes attacking first and defending second. Use offense to defend and defend to wait for attack. Switch offense and defense, think carefully about changes, fight first, and break the ground.

Tian Jing. Defend and gain external momentum, attack and gather internal force. The Eight Diagrams are easy to defend, and the angle is easy to attack."

After Zheng Haiyang said so much, Li Yuanlang touched his chin and pondered. He was talking about Taoism through chess, and the chess game he was talking about was actually teaching the philosophy of life and the philosophy of dealing with things.

One of the things Li Yuanlang understood was to be impatient and to not be impatient about anything. You must consider everything, both the disadvantages and the advantages. Only in this way can you achieve a fatal blow and achieve a complete victory.

This Zheng Haiyang, besides studying the "Tea Classic" and reading "Chess Records" all day long, seems to be a worldly man who is indifferent to outside world and only concentrates on reading the books of sages. In fact, he integrates these things into his officialdom

In the philosophy of life, while entertaining oneself, it also brings taboos and warnings to oneself.

"Remember not to be agitated" were the words that were shared with him tonight when he visited the three big bosses of the county committee, weren't they?

Accompanying Zheng Haiyang, he played several games of backgammon, with each winning and losing, regardless of the outcome. Seeing that it was getting late, Li Yuanlang got up at the right time to say goodbye.

When Zheng Haiyang sent him out, he saw the gift brought by Li Yuanlang. He didn't pay attention to anything else, but the box of cooked Pu'er aroused his great curiosity.

He took it in his hand and smelled it, and praised it again and again: "Good tea, really good tea, it must be this year's new product, Yuen Long, you are so thoughtful."

Li Yuanlang was polite and told him that the tea was given by someone else, not a famous tea, and it tasted okay. Thinking that Minister Zheng liked tea, he sent it to him for a taste.

"That's great. I'll make some to taste in a moment. Yuen Long, now that you know our home, come and sit here often." Regardless of Li Yuanlang's refusal, he definitely sent him a few boxes of tonics and asked him to accept them.

Unable to defeat Zheng Haiyang, Li Yuanlang had no choice but to obey his orders and carry his things downstairs. Standing downstairs, he remembered that Su Fangwan happened to live in the same courtyard, but not in the same building. He didn't call and went straight to Su Fangwan's house.

After knocking on the door for a long time, there was no response. He thought that no one was at home and was about to leave. Suddenly, the door opened and Su Fangwan appeared in front of him wearing an apron and holding a rice shovel in her hand.
