"Ming Gao, I believe in you. If you are upright, you will not be afraid of your shadow. If others want to throw dirty water on you, you must first be able to smell the dirty water."

"If you are upright and aboveboard, you must trust the organization, and your authority should be tested by the organization in all aspects."

Ai Minggao nodded firmly, "Secretary Li, your words are enough. Choosing you means choosing integrity and justice. I, Ai Mingao, cannot guarantee anything else. I will seek truth from facts and stick to my principles. I have more than 20 achievements in my work."

As a party member with 20 years of experience, I will stick to my beliefs and keep going."

"Ming Gao, you have to remember that justice will always be on the side of the right person, and the municipal party committee will always trust you."

These words, accompanied by the clasped hands of Li Yuanlang and Ai Mingao, were transmitted into the hearts of the two people like electricity.

Rather than being secretive, it's better to be open and aboveboard.

Because not only are there a few pairs of eyes staring at this matter, but there are also six million people in Ruozhou who are paying attention, as well as the attention of the provincial party committee.

Every step you take, you must be careful and beware of falling into the traps woven by others.

Since Aimingao is the secretary of the Midong District Party Committee and a deputy department-level cadre, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection intervened in the investigation.

When Li Yuanlang met with the director of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Investigation, he focused on the attitude of the municipal party committee.

We fully cooperate with the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection’s decision and support the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection’s intervention in verifying the relationship between Ai Minggao and Shangguan Yu.

At the same time, he emphasized that he hopes that this verification will be treated with a serious and responsible attitude and in a fair and just manner.

If there is a problem, we will investigate it and we will never cover it up.

No problem, we need to deeply investigate the context and origin of the matter, not only to clear the person involved, but also to eradicate this evil trend and evil habit.

Just three days after the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection investigated Aimingao, Li Yuanlang, accompanied by Cheng Yong and Vice Mayor Cai Meiqin and others, investigated and visited Maoyu Group, Hengsheng Mining, Baifa Construction and other companies.

We also held group discussions with entrepreneurs and listened to their reports.

The heads of relevant departments at the municipal level, focusing on the issues and demands raised by enterprises in terms of guarantee of production factors and handling of project procedures, get straight to the point and jointly make suggestions for enterprises.

Li Yuanlang listened carefully to everyone's speeches, communicated on specific issues from time to time, and asked relevant municipal departments to carefully analyze the demands of enterprises and handle them quickly in strict accordance with the economic work arrangements proposed by the municipal party committee and municipal government at the beginning of the year and in strict accordance with relevant policies and regulations.

Both state-owned and private enterprises are the mainstay of Ruozhou's economic construction and development. They must be treated equally and jointly develop Ruozhou's economy to a new height.

After the discussion with entrepreneurs, Li Yuanlang went to Ruozhou International Convention and Exhibition Center that evening to attend the Gulf Business Association's appreciation banquet.

This morning, the Ruozhou Bay Business Association elected the new leadership body of the association.

Sheng Yongmao, chairman of Shuijin Hot Spring Resort, was re-elected as president of the association.

Due to its special geographical location, since the beginning of the last century, businessmen from the other side of the Taiwan Strait have been pouring into Ruozhou to invest and set up factories, focusing on industry, involving food, mechanical processing, finance, real estate and other fields.

After more than 30 years of development, the association has continued to grow and currently has more than 1,000 member companies, making considerable contributions to Ruozhou's economic development.

Tonight, the association invites the Ruozhou Municipal Party Committee, the municipal government, and Gulf businessmen from all over the province to gather together to thank everyone for their support and help to the Association.

As special guests at the reception, Ruozhou Municipal Party Committee Secretary Li Yuanlang, Mayor Zou Shengxuan, Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee Member and United Front Minister Lian Yun, Executive Vice Mayor Xiao Kaifeng, Municipal Party Committee General Office Secretary-General Cheng Yong and others were all present.

At half past six in the evening, Li Yuanlang and Zou Shengxuan took a Hongqi car and slowly arrived at the entrance of the Convention and Exhibition Center. Sheng Yongmao, led by the main leaders of the Gulf Business Association, was waiting early.

The car stopped, and the two people in the building opened the rear door and put up an awning.

Li Yuanlang got out of the car, and Sheng Yongmao stepped forward with a smile on his face, stretched out his hands, and said hello in less than standard Mandarin: "On behalf of the Gulf Business Association, I welcome Secretary Li, Mayor Zou and city leaders to the banquet."

Sheng Yongmao is a little over fifty, of medium height and thin.

He has a harmless smile, especially his Mediterranean hair style.

"President Sheng is very polite." Li Yuanlang shook hands with Sheng Yongmao and said: "Wanwan businessmen have made outstanding contributions to the economic development of Ruozhou City. By attending your banquet, the municipal party committee and government express their strong support for the association and all Bayan businessmen."

"Thank you." Sheng Yongmao thanked him repeatedly.

And shook hands with Zou Shengxuan and others who came after them.

"Secretary Li, Mayor Zou, please."

Accompanied by Sheng Yongmao, Li Yuanlang and Zou Shengxuan walked side by side into the reception room of the convention and exhibition center.

The guests and hosts were seated separately. On behalf of the Gulf Business Association, Sheng Yongmao introduced the new main leadership members of the Gulf Business Association to Li Yuanlang and others, and made appropriate reports on some matters of the association.

Li Yuanlang once again extended cordial greetings to all Gulf businessmen in Ruozhou, emphasized the importance of everyone belonging to the same nation and blood, and gave affirmation and expectations for the new Gulf Business Association.

The short meeting lasted less than half an hour. Li Yuanlang, Zou Shengxuan and others walked into the large and lively cocktail reception together with Sheng Yongmao.

The military band played the welcome song, and the guests lined up on both sides, clapping their hands in time to welcome Li Yuanlang and everyone who entered the venue on the red carpet.

On the way, Li Yuanlang waved to greet guests on both sides from time to time.

He took his seat at the table in the center of the stage, and everyone else found their seats one after another.

The music stopped, and two hosts, a man and a woman, walked to the center of the stage to speak.

Next, Sheng Yongmao delivered a welcome speech, and United Front Minister Lianyun made a statement on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.

Li Yuanlang sat in the audience, flipping through the program at will with the program in his hand, observing the scene from the corner of his eye from time to time.

It was visually estimated that no less than 500 people were present. It is said that many businessmen from Taiwan traveled across the sea to show their magical powers in order to obtain invitations.

First, everyone should listen to the Ruozhou Municipal Party Committee’s policies towards Gulf businesses.

Secondly, I also want to take this opportunity to get to know the new head of Ruozhou City, Secretary Li Yuanlang.

Since ancient times, the natives of Minzhong Province, especially Ruozhou, have had innate genes for doing business.

The first generation went to Nanyang and obtained their first pot of gold by virtue of their hard work and perseverance in business acumen.

One leads ten, and ten leads a large group, all going overseas to prospect for gold.

Use the wealth you earn to repay your hometown and society.

On the first day Li Yuanlang arrived in Ruozhou, he knew that the first factor for Ruozhou people to choose a spouse was not appearance, but family background and IQ.

The family is well off, so they can join forces and have an online IQ, which will not affect the next generation.

However, if there were so many Gulf businessmen in Ruozhou, Li Yuanlang could not but pay attention to them.

At this kind of banquet, Li Yuanlang only needs to show up. As for communicating with businessmen in Taiwan and discussing cooperation and other matters, that is Zou Shengxuan's job.

So, when the speaking session on stage was over, Li Yuanlang, Sheng Yongmao and others drank a glass of red wine, then got up and left.

Sheng Yongmao personally walked Li Yuanlang to the door of the banquet hall, shook hands and said goodbye.

Li Yuanlang followed him in the building, walked into the elevator and went down to the first floor.

When he went out, four people were about to come in.

There were two people standing at the front. One was tall and handsome, and looked to be at least fifty years old. The other was in his forties, not too tall, chubby, and had a broad forehead.

Behind them were each followed by a young man in his thirties carrying a bag.

Several pairs of eyes looked at each other. The younger, pudgy man's eyes suddenly lit up, then narrowed into a slit, and asked politely: "Are you Secretary Li?"

Li Yuanlang looked at the man for a few times, nodded in recognition, and asked: "If I guessed correctly, you are Mr. Gu of Yuehua Group, right?"

"Secretary Li has a good eye, and he is none other than Gu Xiu'an."

After saying hello, Gu Xiuan immediately introduced the man next to him to Li Yuanlang, "Secretary Li, this is Mr. Xiao Cexiao, the vice chairman and general manager of Golden Shield Group."

Golden Shield Group?

Li Yuanlang immediately thought, isn't the Golden Shield Group the red company that purchased the smuggled luxury cars?

Li Yuanlang observed this person, while Xiao Ce also looked at Li Yuanlang and said frankly: "Secretary Li, I know you."

When shaking hands with Xiao Ce, Li Yuanlang clearly felt that he used force.

"Secretary Li, are you leaving?"

"I still have something to do, you guys are busy." Li Yuanlang said to Xiao and Gu, they nodded and were about to walk away.

But I heard Xiao Ce say: "If Secretary Li is willing to give me some face, I would like to have a good chat with Secretary Li."

Xiao Ce used the accent on the word "good".

Logically speaking, Li Yuanlang and Xiao Ce didn't know each other, let alone have any interactions with each other. I always felt that Xiao Ce had a strange attitude toward him.

It's neither warm nor friendly. It's very awkward anyway.

A thousand cups of wine with a close friend is too little, and half a sentence without speculation is more than enough.

Since the first impression is not good, why waste time and energy.

So Li Yuanlang said tactfully: "Mr. Xiao still has some entertainment, and I also have something to be busy with. Let's make an appointment another day to have a good chat."
Chapter completed!
