Li Yuanlang had already made up his mind and said sincerely: "Dad, there is no free lunch in the world. Lian Mingyu has provided me with two important positions. I must be asking for something from others. I will obey your arrangement."

"Haha." Lu Linsong smiled and pointed at Li Yuanlang, "You, Slippery. In fact, you already have a plan. You are indirectly asking me why our family suddenly became lively."

With a long sigh, Lu Linsong looked out the window at the lights and said meaningfully: "You attended the entire conference last year, but you didn't know about some important meetings."

"Comrade Feng Tao went through a lot of trouble to enter the team. It can be said that he got on the last train almost at the moment before the door closed."

"Although the meeting ended long ago, there is still a tail end left. The most important thing is that the role of Comrade Feng Tao's successor has not been finalized."

"Comrade Minghong, Comrade Huiguang, including Comrade Wei Kuan of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, as well as veteran comrades such as Yuan Shunqiang and Qian Zheng all have objections to this."

"Comrade Jinfeng still has five years left in his term. If the successor cannot be determined in this term, it will have a profound impact on our country and our nation."

"Yes, Comrade Jinfeng is still very young, and his energy and other conditions are in his prime period. However, ten years is a conclusion that all our comrades have discussed and verified. Comrade Han Qi, including me, have always followed it and implemented it firmly."

"Human energy is limited after all. I am seventy-six years old this year. Due to physical and other factors, it is impossible for me to bear such a heavy workload."

"People no longer rely on their muscles and bones for strength. When you get older, you have to respect the laws of nature. That's why I unloaded everything in order to make the giant ship of the country move forward smoothly and prevent internal malfunctions in the machine."

"There will be a general meeting in one month. At this meeting, several of our old comrades unanimously decided to recommend Comrade Feng Tao to assume the position that the successor should have in accordance with the established principles."

"At this juncture, we investigate and deal with the Xiao family, clear your name, and provide you with two very ideal and important positions. This is Comrade Jinfeng's gesture to me."

"Whether it is the Organization Minister of the Jiangpu Municipal Party Committee or the Deputy Secretary of the Donghe Provincial Party Committee, they look wonderful, but in fact they are in exchange for my silence."

"Yuen Long, you can see that Lian Mingyu is asking for something from you. Doesn't it have something to do with me? Your answer just now is very good and I am very satisfied. You have not been dazzled by the sudden drop of happiness. Your calmness, your

Composure is a concrete manifestation of your political maturity."

"I deliberately left you hanging to test your mind, and you did it very successfully. I was right about you at the beginning. You will be the one to carry the flag of the Lu family in the future. You can afford it."

Li Yuanlang looked surprised.

Not only did his father-in-law tell him the truth, but more importantly, Bai Qing's call to Director Wang failed because of Lu Shuang's appearance.

Sheng Liangxing’s reminder was of great help to Li Yuanlang.

To be honest, in the face of the test, Li Yuanlang was barely calm after all.

People need to exercise and temper. After this trial, Li Yuanlang fully understood that the bigger the official position, the more tired people will be.

Tired is not just physical strength, but also mental strength, and even more so psychologically.

"Dad, please drink some water and rest for a while. We have to make dumplings in the middle of the night to celebrate New Year's Eve in advance."

Li Yuanlang promptly reminded that his father-in-law was really busy in the past two days and talked to many people, which was very challenging for his fragile heart.

"Okay." Lu Linsong nodded.

Li Yuanlang was about to get up and leave when there was a knock on the door and Secretary Wu hurried in.

He nodded to Li Yuanlang, walked up to Lu Linsong, and whispered: "Chief, Comrade Jinfeng's phone number."

Lu Linsong frowned slightly and said, "Come in."

Secretary Wu gave the headphones to Lu Linsong, turned and left.

This kind of call is highly confidential, and Li Yuanlang has to avoid it.

However, the strange thing was that Lu Linsong actually made a gesture to indicate to him to stay and listen.

This surprised Li Yuanlang and made him even more excited.

This unprecedented honor, the opportunity to get up close and personal with the mysterious circle, is not something everyone is qualified for.

So he sat firmly next to his father-in-law and raised his ears.

Even the sound of breathing is kept as low as possible, for fear that the other party will hear it.

The room was surprisingly quiet, so quiet that not a single noise could be heard.

At the beginning, both parties exchanged greetings and exchanged Spring Festival blessings.

Gradually, Lu Linsong's face became serious, and he kept emphasizing the importance of determining the successor when responding.

His voice was calm, and even though the words were strong, his tone remained neither sullen nor angry.

Because he was wearing headphones, Li Yuanlang could hardly hear what the other party was saying, and he could only guess from the few words his father-in-law said.

Anyway, the atmosphere was very solemn, and I deeply felt that this call was not pleasant.

After a long time, his father-in-law took off his earphones, and Li Yuanlang could hear Yu Jinfeng's voice: "Comrade Linsong, we can help Comrade Feng Tao mount his horse, but we have to escort him for a while. This is responsible to the party, the country, and the people!"

This is the bottom line, a bottom line that cannot be crossed, please understand."

"You are a respected old comrade. Based on the principle of respect and our consistent tradition, I will call you to discuss with you."

"You have noble character and firm party spirit. I hope you will obey the overall situation, obey the requirements of the party organization, and resolutely implement collective decisions."

"In addition, through investigation, Comrade Li Yuanlang is innocent. We must reuse such a good comrade and restore his reputation as soon as possible without letting him feel cold. After collective research, it was decided that he can serve in any place except Minzhong Province.

The third position in the party committee.”

"Comrade Linsong, I hope you will consider it seriously and be aware of the overall situation, not only for you, but also for Comrade Li Yuanlang, and for your family, and make the right decision."

"Finally, I wish you a happy Chinese New Year and good health. Goodbye!"

As the phone was hung up, Lu Linsong's face was as dark as water, with anger hanging from the corners of his eyes and brows.

When Li Yuanlang saw this, he quickly persuaded him: "Dad, please calm down."

It was obvious that this phone call had a special meaning. Although he was polite on the surface, he couldn't hide his irrefutable coldness.

It was obvious that Lu Linsong was very angry.

Being so angry was hurting his health, and Li Yuanlang was very worried about his father-in-law's physical condition.

A professional does professional work. He is not a doctor, so he cannot give his father-in-law medicine randomly.

Everything is focused on health care practitioners.

"Dad, how do you feel? Do you want to call Dr. Chen?" Li Yuanlang asked with concern.

After a while, Lu Linsong took a deep breath and said calmly: "I'm fine. You go out first and let me be alone."

Li Yuanlang reluctantly walked out and gently closed the door.

He waved to Secretary Wu and asked him to pay more attention at the door.

Then he strode back home, where Bai Qing was waiting for him.

"What did dad say?"

Li Yuanlang was well aware of the importance of his father-in-law's conversation, so he omitted the key questions and only answered the part about himself that Yu Jinfeng mentioned.

Bai Qing was so smart, she made a rough analysis, and said: "This is to make a condition to dad, to trade your future in exchange for dad's compromise."

How could Li Yuanlang not know?

Presumably, my father-in-law must be thinking and weighing at this time.

"I have asked Secretary Wu to pay close attention to dad's condition, and health doctors are also on call at any time to check his body when dad recovers."

"Yes." Bai Qing threw herself into Li Yuanlang's arms worriedly, burying her head deeply in his chest.

Li Yuanlang hugged his wife tightly, unable to conceal his deep worry.

My father-in-law is good at everything, but sometimes he likes to bury his thoughts deep in his heart and not tell others.

In this situation, it is easiest to suppress illness.

And his heart disease was caused precisely by this.

It's your personality and can't be changed.

Bai Qing felt uneasy, turned around, walked out of the room, and went to guard her father-in-law's door.

Li Yuanlang walked back and forth in the room alone, recalling Yu Jinfeng's words in his mind, feeling confused.

It could be heard that Yu Jinfeng intended to transfer him out of Minzhong Province, but let his father-in-law decide where to go.

But Li Yuanlang was unwilling to give in, very unwilling.

The reason why he chose to serve in the Minzhong Provincial People's Congress was because he was unwilling to do so.

It is not his belief in life to start at the beginning but end at the end. What he pursues is perfection and flawlessness.

Even if he is not important in Minzhong Province, he will stick to it and never leave for a moment.

He wants to see, over time, whether he is right.

However, the facts did not give him a chance, and it seemed that the countdown to leaving Minzhong had begun.

Where to go? This is a difficult multiple-choice question.

There isn't even an answer, it's all up to him to play freely.

Li Yuanlang smoked one cigarette after another, mostly enjoying the anesthetizing effect of nicotine on the nerves.

Time passed slowly and unconsciously.
