Standing at the door were Fang Yan and Qiao Xiaoli.

Li Yuanlang was surprised and quickly let the two of them in.

Inviting them to sit on the sofa in the living room, Li Yuanlang was preparing something to drink when Fang Yan took the initiative to make tea.

He often sends Li Yuanlang back and is familiar with the place.

Li Yuanlang did not insist. While Fang Yan went to the kitchen to boil water, Qiao Xiaoli said, "Mayor Li, I'm sorry for disturbing you tonight."

Li Yuanlang waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "I'm very pleased to see you can come here with Fang Yan."

Qiao Xiaoli hurriedly corrected her, "Mayor Li, you have misunderstood. Fang Yan and I are just ordinary classmates. To be honest, I was angry when I saw him hesitating and whining, so I forced him to come here."

Li Yuanlang was slightly startled, "Reporter Qiao, do you want to be a lobbyist?"

"Mayor Li is wise." Qiao Xiaoli said bluntly: "Fang Yan knew you were going to be transferred, and he was in a bad mood these days. I asked him but he didn't say anything. Then I thought, he must be worried about his future.

"

"Fang Yan has an upright personality and will not bend his will to please. He has offended his leaders many times before. It was you who discovered him and reused him, allowing him to see hope and gain a firm foothold in the government office."

"When you leave, he is like a kite with its string cut off. He has no backbone and his future is even more uncertain."

"He was depressed, but he kept it in his heart and did not tell you the reason. He shut himself up at home and sighed. Mayor Li, I will boldly make a request to you. Can you help him? I am not asking for an official position for him.

I just hope you can arrange a safe position for him."

"Mayor Li, I know that doing this will easily arouse your resentment, but we really have no choice. In Deping City, you are the only one we can rely on."

Looking at Qiao Xiaoli's expectant eyes, Li Yuanlang said nothing.

At this time, Fang Yan came in with tea, poured a cup for Li Yuanlang first, and then poured a cup for Qiao Xiaoli.

"Fang Yan, stop being so busy. Sit down and I'll have a few words with you."

"Yeah." Fang Yan agreed, sitting neatly next to Qiao Xiaoli and directly opposite Li Yuanlang.

Li Yuanlang said seriously: "Fang Yan, although we have not known each other for a long time, only a few months, I have a very good impression of you."

"You have incisive analytical skills, subtle observation habits, and an upright heart. These are the things I like very much."

"I have a few ideas about your work arrangements. Please listen to them."

"The first one is that you stay in the government office and go to the comprehensive department. The Civil Security Bureau appreciates your talents, so he took the initiative to ask me for you."

"Second, transfer you to the Municipal Education Bureau. Education is the foundation of a country and an important cornerstone of national rejuvenation and social progress."

"With your intelligence and talents, you can maximize your potential there and contribute to the education of our nation."

"Third, you go to the Bureau of Culture, Tourism and Sports. Reporter Qiao is at the TV station to facilitate your cooperation."

"The last one is to go to the Changjin City Government. Guangmori has just assumed the role of executive deputy mayor and lacks a capable helper. He talked to me on the phone today about this matter."

"It's just that Changjin City is more than a hundred miles away from Deping, so you have to work hard to travel back and forth between the two places."

"How about it? Just tell me which of these four places you want to go to. I'll hurry up and take care of it before I leave Deping."

After Li Yuanlang finished speaking to Yan Yuese, he carefully observed Fang Yan's reaction.

Fang Yan looked at Qiao Xiaoli next to him, thought for a while and asked, "Mayor, is there no other choice?"

Li Yuanlang was slightly startled, "What are you referring to?"

Fang Yan explained: "If conditions permit, I still want to continue to follow you..."

"I understand what you mean." Li Yuanlang said after careful consideration: "Lanqiao City is located in the north and is economically backward. Its conditions in all aspects are definitely not as good as Deping."

"In addition, being so far away from your hometown and living in a distant place will be a huge test for you. Have you considered this?"

Fang Yan responded sincerely, "Mayor Li, it is the greatest honor of my life to meet you. You are dedicated to the public and serve the people. You have many excellent qualities worth learning from me. Working by your side has a great impact on my life."

Our outlook and values ​​will be a huge improvement.”

"A man has ambitions in all directions and cannot be confined to one place. I am willing to accept challenges with you, undergo challenges, accumulate experience in challenges, and grow slowly in challenges."

Fang Yan's impassioned speech made Li Yuanlang very pleased.

He turned to Qiao Xiaoli and asked, "Xiao Xiaoli, what's your opinion?"

Qiao Xiaoli spread her hands and said, "I listen to him."

"Okay, I understand."

When Qiao Xiaoli and Fang Yan left Li Yuanlang's home and walked back along the leaf-covered corridor, Qiao Xiaoli analyzed: "Fang Yan, I finally figured it out. You have been wondering whether you should go to Li Shi

Long, itself is a mistake."

"Why?" Fang Yan looked puzzled.

"Just think, with the way Mayor Li behaves, he will definitely give the person he likes a proper settlement before leaving."

"Although you haven't spent much time with Mayor Li, he has a very good impression of you. The only drawback is that Mayor Li will be transferred before you can take advantage of your strengths."

"Thinking about his eagerness for you and your value before he has been verified, how can Mayor Li give up on you?"

"The reason why I didn't talk to you is that I guess Mayor Li has other plans for you. To put it bluntly, he is waiting for you to declare your intention to follow him to Lanqiao City."

"Fortunately, you showed your attitude at the critical moment, which made Mayor Li look at you with admiration and strengthened his determination to take you with him."

"Mayor Li can't take the initiative to mention that he wants to transfer you. He needs a step, but if you bring it to him now, he will definitely take you away. Believe me, this is correct."

Fang Yan couldn't help but nod his head in thought and cast an approving look at Qiao Xiaoli.

In fact, he had another idea in mind.

I'm just embarrassed to say it.

Obviously, the four resettlement places proposed by Li Yuanlang were intended to help him and Qiao Xiaoli become lovers and achieve a happy marriage.

In Li Yuanlang's view, Qiao Xiaoli admired Fang Yan very much and had signs of liking him.

If Fang Yan is transferred to another place at this time, it is very likely that this budding love will end without any problem.

To be honest, Fang Yan had a good impression of Qiao Xiaoli. The reason why he did not work hard in this area was mainly because he had foreign debts and poor conditions. He could not give Qiao Xiaoli a good life and did not want Qiao Xiaoli to suffer hardships with him.

Seeing that Fang Yan remained silent, Qiao Xiaoli broke the silence again.

"I heard that Mayor Li still wants to be the old man under the moon and try his best to bring us together."

Fang Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Mayor Li is really a good person. He not only cares about his subordinates' work, but also shows consideration for their emotional lives."

Qiao Xiaoli suddenly stopped and faced Fang Yan, "Let me ask you, do you like me?"

This time, Fang Yan was really stunned. His lips were slightly open for a long time, but he couldn't say a word.

"If you don't say anything, just nod or shake your head."

After a slight hesitation, Fang Yan nodded deeply, "Xiaoli, actually I..."

Qiao Xiaoli put her index finger on Fang Yan's mouth, "Stop talking, I know your worries. I am not someone who hates poverty and loves wealth. The person I like is not his present, but his future."

"Just now at Mayor Li's house, if you had chosen one of the four places to go, I would not have asked you this question. The man has ambitions in all directions. You have such foresight and are lucky to follow a good leader like Mayor Li.

, I believe you have a promising future.”

"Go ahead and work hard with Mayor Li. I, I will wait for you..."

After that, Qiao Xiaoli strode away and stopped a taxi in front.

Looking at the taxi's taillights, Fang Yan couldn't describe what he felt, only heavy thoughts.

In the afternoon of this day, Kuang Zaohui returned from the provincial capital.

It is a fait accompli that he serves as the acting mayor of Deping City and has entered the public notice period.

Li Yuanlang and Kuang Zaohui completed the handover without stopping for a moment, and quietly left Deping City under the moonlight that night.

Fang Yan drove the rented car out of the old city, specifically to the museum and commercial street, as well as the new city and the Benge mobile phone production base. After a long circle, he drove to the Deping Expressway Toll Gate.

Li Yuanlang, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, looked at the familiar night scene with bright neon lights, feeling uneasy and full of emotions.

It's time to leave, but I'm really reluctant to leave.

With the past events still vivid in his mind, Li Yuanlang closed his eyes slightly and leaned his head on the back of the chair to dispel his sad mood.

With a "squeak" sound, the car suddenly came to a sudden stop. Due to the inertia, Li Yuanlang swerved forward.

What's going on?
