Li Yuanlang quickly explained: "Luo Sheng, that's not what I meant. It's just that my work has been complicated and busy recently, so I..."

"Don't say anything else." Luo Min interrupted unceremoniously, "Who is not busy? Comrade Li Yuanlang, don't take yourself so seriously. Without you, the earth will continue to turn."

"When you didn't come to Deping, wasn't Deping City still operating normally? To tell you the truth, Province Chu personally selected the generals this time and added your name. You must not let down Province Chu's good intentions."

Chu Zhongqi!

Li Yuanlang was greatly surprised. He had a good relationship with Luan Fangren, so naturally he would not get close to Chu Zhongqi.

Having said this, if Li Yuanlang said "no" again, he would offend not only Luo Min, but also Chu Zhongqi.

Moreover, Luo Min has now been promoted to executive deputy governor, second only to Chu Zhongqi in the provincial capital, and his career is booming.

"Okay, I'll arrange the work at hand as soon as possible and rush to the province to report on Saturday night." Li Yuanlang reluctantly agreed.

Today is Tuesday, there are only six days until next Monday.

Excluding the prostrations, there were only four days left for Li Yuanlang to prepare.

He first called Kuang Zaohui. According to the division of labor in the municipal government, when the mayor is away, the executive deputy mayor will preside over the work of the municipal government.

Kuang Zaohui and Li Yuanlang were familiar with each other, and there was no need to mince words. He said worriedly: "Half a month? After you come back, a meeting will be held in the city. Can't it be a coincidence?"

Li Yuanlang shook his head and thought: "The personnel issues are over and all the elected cadres have taken office. There should be no problems."

"That's good, I'm worrying too much." Kuang Zaohui expressed his position: "Mayor Li, don't worry, there will be no problem with me in the city government."

"Zao Hui, you must always keep an eye on the Jiaming Company area. This vegetable field incident is a wake-up call for us. Some people don't want the new city to become better and more prosperous, so they must create artificial obstacles. Be careful."

"Yes, I understand."

When Chen Yushu learned that Li Yuanlang was about to go abroad, he called and said some innocuous words.

Anyway, Chen Yushu is still bitter about Li Yuanlang's indirect mention of her superstitious feng shui.

In the evening, during a video chat with his wife, Li Yuanlang revealed that he was going abroad for half a month. Bai Qing's reaction was very alert.

"Across the ocean? Why this place?"

Li Yuanlang smiled bitterly and said: "How do I know? I can't resist the provincial government's decision. Just because I didn't want to go, I even received a scolding from Deputy Governor Luo."

Bai Qing analyzed: "You went abroad this time in a hurry. It feels like a temporary decision to me."

"Honey, you are smarter." Li Yuanlang sighed, "It was Chu Zhongqi's decision to temporarily add my name. Wife, it goes without saying that my relationship with Secretary Luan is an ordinary one, but my relationship with Chu Zhongqi is just an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship. He

I don’t understand this.”

Bai Qing advised: "No matter what, it's good to go out and broaden your horizons to see the colorful world abroad."

When Li Yuanlang heard this, he guessed his wife's worries.

"Okay, I heard there are many fun places abroad. As long as you have money, you can do whatever you want." In order to adjust the atmosphere and mood, Li Yuanlang joked.

"You are so beautiful." Bai Qing responded confidently, "I traveled to seven cities in fifteen days and traveled thousands of miles. In such a tight time, there are so many things to do, and there is no chance for you to have fun. Maybe have breakfast.

It’s all a business event.”

After talking about this topic, Li Yuanlang learned that Bai Qing and his father-in-law had moved back to their home in Chuzhong City.

Lu Linsong basically agreed to return to his hometown to visit his parents and fellow villagers.

This matter is left to the office director, and it is estimated that the trip will be completed next month.

After all, unlike ordinary people, he has to go through a lot of procedures and preparations when he goes out.

"Husband, can you go with us?" Bai Qing asked.

Li Yuanlang thought for a while, "I have to attend the Deping City Conference when I come back from abroad. I'm afraid... let's see. It depends on the situation."

"Okay, we can contact you anytime."

The meaning of contacting him at any time includes setting a rule for Li Yuanlang to make frequent video calls after going abroad.

The next day, Lou Tianyuan brought an important discovery to Li Yuanlang.

At a construction site below Diandong City, twenty-seven skeletons were unearthed some time ago. They are very old, about fifty to one hundred years old.

It is said that the location chosen for the construction site used to be a mass grave.

The boss later invited a monk to perform rituals and selected a place to rebury the twenty-seven bones.

But a few days ago, someone discovered that the cemetery had been dug up and fifteen bones were missing.

After listening to Lou Tianyuan's report, Li Yuanlang asked doubtfully: "So, those bones were probably moved to the vegetable field."

"Tian Yuan, I'm wondering. Since the construction site boss is re-emberming, he must use a new coffin. What happened to the old coffin?"

Lou Tianyuan explained: "I asked about it and found out that the owner of the construction site was very superstitious and was afraid of being disrespectful to the deceased and bringing trouble to himself. During the burial, although a new coffin was used, the old coffin was also buried together."

I see.

"Tianyuan, you have to follow this line of investigation. This is someone stealing the bones and deliberately setting up artificial obstacles. It is really hateful and must be dealt with strictly."

"Please rest assured, we will definitely comply."

Time flies so fast, it’s Saturday.

Li Yuanlang went to Haixin City, the provincial capital, alone this time.

In the airport VIP room, Zhao Xin, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, Kuang Zaohui, executive deputy mayor, Xiao Heng, secretary-general of the municipal party committee office, Wei Xingfu, deputy mayors, Liu Jinwei and Xu Guangshui, secretary-general of the municipal government, came to see him off.

In the past, Li Yuanlang's return to the capital or to Chuzhong City in Hanyue Province was a private matter.

This time, Li Yuan Long represented Duc Binh City and participated in the An Giang Provincial Economic and Trade Friendship Delegation. It was an official event and was indispensable for the city leaders to see him off.

After about an hour, the plane landed at Haixin City Airport, the provincial capital.

A deputy secretary-general from the Provincial Government Office came to pick him up.

Li Yuanlang had been to the province for a meeting before and was familiar with the deputy secretary-general, so it was inevitable that he would exchange pleasantries.

Subsequently, he was arranged to stay in the provincial government guest house.

Tomorrow, the provincial government will invite comrades from the Foreign Affairs Office to conduct short-term training for members going abroad this time.

It mainly talks about the diplomatic etiquette of visiting countries, as well as some safety precautions.

When Li Yuanlang came to Haixin City this time, he originally planned to meet Luan Fangren.

He has always had a doubt about the purpose of Chu Zhongqi naming him to participate in the overseas delegation.

It's a pity that Luan Fangren is not in An Giang Province. He went to the capital for a meeting and will not be able to return until three days later.

Li Xiaoguang answered the phone. Luan Fangren had activities at night and could not answer his call, so Li Yuanlang had to give up.

Sitting in the room, he took out his cell phone and was about to chat with his wife when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, I saw that the person coming was Zhan Honglei, the mayor of Diandong.

During Li Yuanlang's tenure in Shuntong, he went to Diandong City and met Zhan Honglei once. Later, he attended a provincial meeting and talked with him again, becoming an acquaintance.

"Mayor Zhan, hello, please come in." Li Yuanlang stepped aside and politely let Zhan Honglei in.

"When did Mayor Li arrive?" Zhan Honglei stood still and shook hands with Li Yuanlang.

"Just arrived, where are you?"

Zhan Honglei chuckled, "Absolutely."

After letting Zhan Honglei sit down on the sofa, Li Yuanlang was about to make tea, but Zhan Honglei raised his hand to stop him, "Stop it, just mineral water will do."

Li Yuanlang said easily: "That's good, it saves me the trouble."

"Mayor Li, I came here rashly and won't disturb you."

"Where." Li Yuanlang said with a smile: "You came just in time, I was just frustrated that no one was talking."

After saying this, Li Yuanlang guessed that Zhan Honglei's visit this time was not just for a simple chat.

After chatting for a while, Zhan Honglei got down to the topic, "Mayor Li, were you surprised to receive the news about your overseas visit?"

Li Yuanlang knew that Zhan Honglei was Lian Mingyu's man, so he didn't take it into account when he spoke. He told the truth, "Yes, I feel that this time it came too suddenly, and I was not mentally prepared at all."

Zhan Honglei nodded, "The overseas mission was decided two months ago, and Deping City is not on the list. For economic and trade missions, the province will naturally select some cities with the best economies, and Deping does not have an advantage in this regard."
Chapter completed!
