"Chief Li, what do you mean?" Liu Wanquan pretended to be dumbfounded and looked very angry in response to Li Yuanlang's anger.

"You yourself know what you have done. You don't need me to explain it to you." Li Yuanlang's aggressive gaze made Liu Wanquan break into a cold sweat and his back felt cold.

However, he still frowned, and the fat on his face was trembling and said: "What have I done? I asked you to solve the problem with good intentions, but your attitude towards me is too much."

"Is it me who went too far or you?" As he spoke, Li Yuanlang grabbed the Fendi briefcase, unzipped it, pulled out the needle camera hidden inside, threw it hard on the desk, and glared at Liu Wanquan with cold eyes.

.

"This..." Liu Wan's whole face was flushed red. There were deep red and light red in the horizontal ravines. The uneven color caused his big red face to appear in patches, making it extremely ugly.

Li Yuanlang mercilessly chased Liu Wanquan and angrily reprimanded him: "Liu Wanquan, you have totally picked the wrong person by bribing me with money. It is not too late to step back from the brink. I advise you to be aware of current affairs and surrender to the Public Security Bureau as soon as possible.

A generous opportunity, otherwise, you will be dead!"

Anyway, his face was torn, Liu Wanquan showed a ferocious face, gritted his teeth and roared: "Li Yuanlang, don't try to talk to me here. I, Liu Wanquan, eat more salt than you eat. I have been in this line since I started."

I know it's either glory or wealth, or the abyss of hell. Since I dare to fight and gamble, I'm not afraid of losing my head."

Then, Liu Wanquan said coldly: "You want to convict me just based on your few shabby photos. You think of me too simply. To tell you the truth, there is someone above me, and that person is very powerful, not

You, a little village head, can do anything to me. Today I leave my words here. If you are sensible, you take this bank card and turn a blind eye to what you saw that day. I will give you another gift every year.

Your dividends will be enough for you to enjoy endless good lives in your life. Otherwise, I will make you lose your position as the mayor and get out of Shuiming Township naked."

Li Yuanlang is fearless of Liu Wanquan's threats. The best way to deal with such people is to be upright and face them calmly.

He also sneered in response: "Okay, I want to see how powerful you Liu Wanquan is. A village party secretary wants to influence the official career and destiny of a township chief. Don't talk too much."

"We'll see!" Liu Wanquan grabbed the briefcase on the table, walked a few steps and then turned back, put the bank card in his pocket, glared at Li Yuanlang, slammed the door and left angrily.

Just as Zhang Guorui was about to come in with a tea cup, he almost bumped into Liu Wanquan, and half-jokingly said: "Old Liu, are you in such a hurry to pick up the money?"

Liu Wanquan didn't pay any attention to him, and walked away quickly in anger.

Zhang Guorui didn't know why he came in and asked Li Yuanlang if Liu Wanquan was looking for trouble?

Because it was involved in the case, Li Yuanlang was inconvenient to reveal more. He just said lightly: "It will be a matter of time for Liu Wanquan and I to go toe-to-toe with Maimang." After packing up his things, he patted Zhang Guorui on the shoulder and said: "Call Sister Wu and Han Wei.

, let’s go to Lao Gao’s place for a drink!”

Gao Canru's live fish house is built next to the fish pond. Many fishing enthusiasts process the fish on the spot after fishing here, eat fresh and tender fish meat, and drink home-brewed corn soju, which is not to mention how comfortable it is.

The business of the live fish restaurant is pretty good. It is always crowded with customers, especially during the holidays, when it is almost full.

Gao Canru had received the news a long time ago and had already prepared a full fish feast and was waiting for him.

Li Yuanlang, Zhang Guorui and Han Wei arrived first, while Wu Hongli was delayed because of something. After the four of them sat down, Gao Canru directed his wife to bring plate after plate of fresh fish dishes to the table, whether cold, steamed, braised or stewed.

There is also fish ball soup, paired with several pollution-free vegetables grown in the home garden, and the table is full.

Gao Canru's brother-in-law was in charge of the dishes, while his wife, brother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy. In Gao Canru's spare time, he often went to the kitchen to help, and he did all the dirty work of butchering and weighing the fish.

Everyone is familiar with each other and is a good colleague who often hangs out together, so eating and talking are much more casual.

Wu Hongli heard Zhang Guorui mention Liu Wanquan and said that he left Li Yuanlang's office in anger, so she brought up her new discovery. When she came, she saw Liu Wanquan and Ma Shengran leaving in a car together.

The township people's congress will be held tomorrow. If these two people are behind the scenes, it will be detrimental to Li Yuanlang. Wu Hongli reminds Li Yuanlang not to take it lightly and to think of a good response strategy.

"What is supposed to come will eventually come." Li Yuanlang said calmly.

Zhang Guorui raised his wine glass and clinked it with Li Yuanlang, and analyzed: "Yuen Long is the candidate for township mayor recommended by the county committee. No matter how arrogant Ma Shengran is, he will not necessarily go against the will of the county committee and let Yuan Long lose the election. This is a big event.

"

Gao Canru adjusted his glasses frame, shook his head slightly and said: "Ma Shengran is a man with deep roots and connections in the province. He never takes the county committee seriously. It's just that Township Chief Li was not elected. The county can take advantage of him."

What can I do? No way, it’s cold salad.” He took a bite of the raw fish and ate it in his mouth matter-of-factly.

Han Wei couldn't get involved in these official matters, so he could only listen with his ears. As for whether he could listen, only he knew.

Several people talked about it, but they couldn't think of a good solution, so they had to drink.

This meal lasted for more than three hours. Except for Han Wei who had to drive and didn't drink, everyone including Li Yuanlang drank too much. I don't know how drunk they were or how they got back.

Liu Wanquan and Ma Shengran got together to deal with Li Yuanlang. How could he not pay attention to it and not be careful about it? He had no choice but to drink to relieve his sorrow and use alcohol to numb his troubled soul.

Early the next morning, Li Yuanlang woke up with a splitting headache. He drank a few sips of cold water and finally got some relief.

He didn't go to the cafeteria to get food because he had no appetite. He sat on the bedside and took out his mobile phone, hesitating whether to call Jin Sheng.

To be honest, he was really unsure. If he lost the election, it would be so embarrassing to just spread the word about it, regardless of Liu Wanquan's conspiracy behind his back.

The township mayor candidate recommended by the county committee was rejected by the township people's congress because he received less than half of the votes. There was only one fate. The county committee would respect the choice of the people's congress. It was a foregone conclusion that Li Yuanlang sadly left Shuiming Township.

He has only been the acting mayor for less than a month, and he has already touched the lifeline of Shuiming Township's prosperity. Although there is a lot of resistance, he believes that with his own efforts and the help of like-minded colleagues, Shuiming Township will definitely make Shuiming a success.

Mingxiang is radiating new vitality and vitality, and it is just around the corner to get out of poverty and onto the road to prosperity.

However, the reality is before us, and there are many difficulties. It is unknown whether Ma Shengran can cross this mountain in front of him and whether he can successfully pass it.

From the beginning of taking office, Li Yuanlang tried his best to coexist peacefully with Ma Shengran, not to confront him, but to give in to him and respect him. But when it came to matters of principle, he never compromised. It was precisely because of this that Ma Shengran had doubts and dissatisfaction with him. Moreover,

With Liu Wanquan adding fuel to the flames, Li Yuanlang had a premonition that the National People's Congress election would be a disaster.

He had already called up Jin Sheng's mobile phone number and rubbed it with his fingers for a long time, but in the end he still didn't make the call.

What is supposed to come will eventually come, so face it calmly.

Li Yuanlang turned his phone to the WeChat interface and saw Shui Tingyue's message to him. The general content was that he had a video chat with Shui Tingyue before going to bed last night, confiding a lot of his inner thoughts and talking about the troubles he had faced at work recently.

and pressure.

Shui Tingyue understood and sympathized with him, and wrote hundreds of words of encouragement. The last sentence deeply moved Li Yuanlang.

"Yuen Long, I believe I am not wrong about you. You are a good man who is responsible, has a sense of justice, and has a sense of responsibility. No matter whether you are successfully elected or not, in my heart, you will always be the best."

He didn't talk too much, just a few words. Li Yuanlang's heart moved slightly, his nose was sour, and his eyes showed moist warmth.

Men don't shed tears easily, but they haven't reached the point of sadness. Li Yuanlang resisted the tears, but his heart was already flooded and he couldn't stop running.

Half an hour later, Li Yuanlang appeared in the township government building. When he walked into the large conference room, he happened to meet Han Zhongwang and Ma Zesheng, as well as several village party secretaries and village directors.

Everyone greeted him politely, and Han Zhongwang said with a smile: "Head Li, we have already discussed it. No matter what others say, we will all vote for you. We are still waiting for you to lead us all to get rich together."

Ma Zesheng also said: "Head of the township, when you remove the pronouns, don't forget to give us the final say in Yangma Village. If you want to return to the Liu family's land and occupy our twenty acres of land."

"Head of the township, we support you."

Looking at the simple and honest faces and sincere smiles, Li Yuanlang felt warm in his heart, and all the worries and haze were relieved a lot. They all came from poor villages, and they represented the public opinion of more people in Shuiming Township and looked forward to living a better life.

The desire for a good life is stronger than anyone else.

"Thank you, thank you for your trust in me." Li Yuanlang raised his fists and expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the Fifth People's Congress of Shuiming Township was held as scheduled with the rumbling national anthem.

According to the agenda, Ma Shengran gave the opening speech, and Li Yuanlang gave the government work report. He was a secretary himself. This kind of report did not need a secretary from the Party and Government Office to write it. He could write it by himself without any effort.

After that, there was thirty minutes of concentrated discussion time, because this National People's Congress was not a general election. Li Yuanlang was transferred from work and was the only candidate recommended by the county committee for township mayor. He passed the candidate recommendation process fairly smoothly.

Next came the most critical moment, the representative voting session.

Ma Shengran sat firmly in the center of the rostrum. He only took two puffs of a lit cigarette and let the cigarette burn to produce a large amount of ash without flicking it into the ashtray.

He squinted his eyes and looked at Li Yuanlang's reaction from the corner of his eye. At this time, Li Yuanlang was sitting still like an old monk, unmoving. There was no anxious look on his face, which was still the same as before.

This little kid can really sit still.

Ma Shengran sighed inwardly, and at the same time he looked at Liu Wanquan, who was active among the representatives in the audience. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Outsiders must have thought Ma Shengran was smiling, but in fact he was sending a signal to Liu Wanquan, an insidious signal.

While the representatives were filling out their ballots, Huang Wenfa suddenly ran in and said a few words in Ma Shengran's ear.

Ma Shengran immediately frowned, with a gloomy face, and told Huang Wenfa: "Ignore him, just say that I am in a meeting and go see him after the meeting."

What made Ma Shengran so unhappy? It turned out that Feng Yiduo, deputy director of the County People's Congress, suddenly came to Shuiming Township without saying hello and was sitting in the township meeting room waiting for him.

Feng Yiduo is the first deputy director of the County People's Congress. The old director was in poor health and he has been in charge of the work of the County People's Congress. His status is equivalent to the actual leader of the County People's Congress.

Ma Shengran ignored Feng Yiduo, and he was still full of little calculations in his heart.

If Feng Yiduo's identity was not resounding enough, then Huang Wenfa came again and told Ma Shengran that someone else from the county was coming.
Chapter completed!
