Just as Lei Zhen turned to leave, Ji Tianhou looked at Li Yuanlang, curled his lips slightly and said, "It seems that Secretary Lei doesn't welcome me."

"As far as our relationship is concerned, who knows who is not on guard. Let alone you, it's Chang Ming. There are so many people on guard against him now. It's just that he doesn't care and doesn't take it seriously."

"Yuen Long, I see that you are not happy in Tai Ding County."

Li Yuanlang sighed: "I have only been here not long ago, and I can't count the things that happened in Daiding County on one hand. How can I be happy?"

Just as he was talking, Li Yuanlang received a call from Secretary Shi Kan.

Shi Kan wanted to see Li Yuanlang and asked him to go immediately.

The mayor is busy with work and his time is naturally limited, so every minute and every second must be planned in advance.

Presumably, when meeting him, the secretary will remind him and give the interlocutor a time limit.

"Yes, I still have to go to the city hall." Li Yuanlang spread his hands apologetically.

Ji Tianhou said: "Call me when you're done there. We haven't talked for a long time. Let's find a place to talk for a while."

Even if Ji Tianhou didn't bring it up, Li Yuanlang had exactly this intention.

Nodding, Li Yuanlang walked out of the municipal party committee building first and took a car straight to the city hall.

This time, he was still riding in his old Audi A6. The driver, Lao Qian, drove the car, and Wang Zhongqiu sat in the passenger seat as usual.

In the car, Li Yuanlang told Lao Qian and Wang Zhongqiu that he had something to do at noon and asked them to make arrangements by themselves. If there were no special circumstances in the afternoon, they would go back.

The two nodded in agreement, and the Audi drove out of the municipal party committee compound and went straight to the city hall...

Zhong Kang has been restless since he and Lu Dingfang came back from the provincial capital, unable to eat or sleep.

On the way back, Lu Dingfang asked him, how did things turn out?

Zhong Kang only answered with four words: "Let nature take its course."

He couldn't say much, let alone tell Lu Dingfang that he had given Gong Wei 2.5 million in benefits.

He would not be stupid enough to tell anyone, not even Lu Dingfang, who was the matchmaker.

The fewer people who know about this kind of secret operation, the better, and the chance of success will be higher.

Lu Dingfang certainly understood that by creating opportunities for Zhong Kang and Gong Wei to be alone together, Zhong Kang would definitely benefit Gong Wei.

He doesn't care how much he gives, what he cares about is how much his share will be once the matter is accomplished.

He is not a frivolous Lei Feng. He is always busy before and after running. Zhong Kang's previous one hundred thousand yuan was just asking for directions. The follow-up will only be more than this, not less than this.

Zhong Kang didn't say anything, and he didn't ask any further questions. So along the way, the car was relatively quiet, and everyone was thinking about their own things.

But soon, something happened that made them find a common topic.

I learned that they did not hold a meeting and each of them received a notice of criticism.

Lu Dingfang and Zhong Kang were so angry that they almost exploded. When they asked Lei Zhen, they found out that it was Lei Zhen's decision that he had to make after Li Yuanlang's repeated requests.

"Li, you're going too far!" Lu Dingfang gritted his teeth and slapped the steering wheel hard. Due to the excessive force, the car swayed on the highway and almost hit the guardrail.

Zhong Kang was so frightened that he quickly grabbed the armrest and reminded: "Lu County, if you are angry, don't drive with emotions. You only live once."

"You don't have to say it." Lu Dingfang said angrily, "Old Zhong, Li Yuanlang is deliberately going against us. If you become a member of the Standing Committee, you should know what to do in the future."

"Lu County, I understand."

I understand that Zhong Kang has already expressed his intention and will stand by his side in the future.

After losing Xing Dong and gaining Zhong Kang, Lu Dingfang's balance has not been broken and remains as stable as Mount Tai.

However, his confidence did not last long before he was angered by something.

After Zhong Kang returned home, his wife Chen Yan naturally wanted to ask how the trip to the provincial capital was.

Zhong Kang took away three million from his family, so it was nothing but nothing.

Women, after all, have a slightly worse perspective on problems than men.

Even if it was Chen Yan's idea for Zhong Kang to take office.

Zhong Kang told Chen Yan everything that had happened. Chen Yan was overjoyed when she heard that Zhong Kang had contacted the nephew of Secretary Gong.

He repeatedly warned him: "This relationship must not be broken. Lu Dingfang is nothing, but Young Master Gong is still famous. If you have Young Master Gong as your backer in the future, are you still worried about whether you will be able to achieve success?"

Zhong Kang said: "No matter how you say it, it was Lu Dingfang who helped us. We should remember this feeling."

Then asked Chen Yan: "If the matter is settled, how much should you give to Lu Dingfang?"

Chen Yan thought for a while and said: "I gave him one hundred thousand before, and then I gave him another hundred thousand, and two hundred thousand for running errands, which is a lot."

"Can you give me more? I feel like two hundred thousand is too little..."

"Our family's money doesn't come from strong winds. Do you know how easy it is to save this money? I'm so worried that I can't sleep well at night."

Zhong Kang waved his hand, "Forget it, it's not done yet, let's talk about it later."

Unexpectedly, just one day later, he received a call from the Organization Department of the Yunshui Municipal Party Committee, asking him to come for an interview.

The other party hinted on the phone that it must be kept strictly confidential and must not be leaked.

Zhong Kang knew in his heart that his rise to power was a foregone conclusion, but he just didn't understand why the organization department wanted to block the news.

He didn't dare to disobey. After answering the phone, he suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and only told Chen Yan that he was going to the city.

Chen Yan was very sensitive, so she asked him: "Is there any clue about that matter?"

Zhong Kang thought for a while and just told her: "Don't think blindly, I'll go do something."

Doing something? Doing what?

Huh, who are you kidding?

She wanted to continue asking, but was warned by Zhong Kang: "In extraordinary times, don't make blind noises. You haven't even written your horoscope yet."

Hearing her husband's tone, Chen Yan pursed her lips and smiled, already having the answer in her heart.

She is in charge of logistics at the County Experimental Primary School, and she has a good relationship with Wei Ruyue. Despite the age difference of more than ten years, she has become a best friend who talks about everything, and they go shopping and eat together from time to time.

When eating in the school cafeteria at noon, Chen Yan and Wei Ruyue sat together as usual.

Seeing that Chen Yan was in a good mood, Wei Ruyue asked: "Sister Yan, look at you looking so good, did you win the lottery?"

"No way, if your sister and I won the big prize, I would still work very hard and go to work, and I would have gone far away to enjoy happiness."

"That's..." Wei Ruyue stirred the egg drop soup with a spoon, but her eyes drifted to Chen Yan's face, carefully observing her reaction.

"It's nothing, your brother-in-law won't let you talk." Chen Yan couldn't pretend it was happening and looked around secretly to make sure no one was paying attention to what they were talking about. Then she lowered her voice and said, "Ruyue, you have to be strict about this. Don't talk about it."

go out."

"Just tell me, sister, I promise not to tell anyone else."

So, Chen Yan told her that her husband Zhong Kang would most likely be nominated to the Standing Committee and deputy county magistrate this time, and rushed to the city to be interviewed this morning.

Wei Ruyue was shocked and couldn't help but congratulate Chen Yan.

But she also thought, I won’t tell anyone else about this, so it’s better to tell my husband.

Wei Ruyue's husband is Li Wanlong, the new party secretary of Yongnian Township.

When Li Wanlong heard his wife say that Zhong Kang would serve as Standing Committee member and deputy county magistrate, he couldn't help but be surprised and surprised.

As he sits in this position, he naturally pays close attention to every move in the county.

It is absolutely unexpected that Zhong Kang managed to win the position of county standing committee member without any hesitation.

Therefore, Li Wanshan was the first to call his old superior, Zhu Ningshan, director of the county party committee office, for verification.

Zhu Ningshan naturally knew nothing and kept asking: "Wan Shan, are you telling the truth?"

"Director, this is what Zhong Kang's wife Chen Yan said herself. How dare I make such a joke with you."

"That's true." Zhu Ningshan nodded and thought.

He also wondered which path Zhong Kang took and which great god told him?

Zhu Ningshan immediately thought, isn't Li Benqing also looking for connections to get a higher position?

Li Benqing had some relationship with him. He thought that the matter had been settled and he didn't want Li Benqing to do any more useless work. He immediately contacted Li Benqing and told him this.

"Lao Zhu, did Zhong Kang really succeed in the competition?" Li Benqing's eyes widened in disbelief.

After learning Zhu Ningshan's exact answer, Li Benqing sat down on his chair in disappointment, his hand holding the phone froze in mid-air.

When he woke up, he immediately found out that Zhong Kang and Lu Dingfang had visited the provincial capital a few days ago.

Li Benqing thought that Lu Dingfang must have used his uncle Lu Rongfu's relationship to help Zhong Kang get this position.

Well, Lu Dingfang, I say I have a good relationship with you. It’s okay if you don’t help me, but you help Zhong Kang, who we don’t usually interact with very much. What do you mean?
