Yuan Shunqiang lives by the beautiful seaside in Hehe City.

There are sentries and mobile sentries outside, with a 20-hour all-round high-level security.

In this regard, he is on par with his father-in-law Lu Linsong.

Fortunately, he had said hello in advance, and Yuan Shunqiang sent his secretary out to greet him.

Li Yuanlang had long been accustomed to this, and it was no longer strange.

On the other hand, Ai Mingao looked straight.

He had never seen such a formation before. Well, the expressions of the guards, who were armed with live ammunition, had every reason to believe that if there was any irregularity, they would probably pull out their guns and attack directly.

The secretary came forward, greeted Li Yuanlang and shook hands.

Under his leadership, Aimingao drove the car until it reached the gate.

After stopping, Ai Ming was packed with bags, his hands and crevices were full of things, and it was difficult to walk.

The secretary understood and called two people to relieve Aimingao's burden.

As for why Li Yuanlang didn't help, there is also an identity issue.

In terms of official positions, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary of the Ruozhou Municipal Party Committee are really looked down upon by Yuan Shunqiang. They are not on the same level at all.

But Lu Linsong's son-in-law is different.

Li Yuanlang belongs to the younger generation, and his visit to Yuan Shunqiang is purely a personal interaction between a younger generation visiting an elder.

If he came with an official position, Yuan Shunqiang would definitely turn him away and not give him a chance.

It can be seen that Li Yuanlang is representing Lu Linsong at this moment, not himself.

This residence covers a large area and is completely modeled after a courtyard house in Beijing.

According to the secretary, from design to construction, the main personnel here are transferred from Beijing.

It took three years to build

As soon as you enter, there is a screen wall.

Pass through the screen wall and enter the binary courtyard.

The middle courtyard is very beautiful, with a rockery fountain and two large goldfish ponds. The goldfish are swimming around, which is really active and beautiful.

Go through the door and come to the ternary courtyard.

The side rooms on both sides, the main room standing tall, with carved beams and painted pillars, are antique and beautiful.

Walking up the steps of the main room, the secretary made an inviting gesture to Li Yuanlang.

Ai Mingao was invited by others to rest and drink tea in the side room.

As soon as he entered the main room, the secretary motioned to Li Yuanlang to wait while he went in first to report.

In just a minute or two, the secretary came out of the east room and said, "The chief invites you to come in."

Li Yuanlang nodded, pushed open the double flashing solid wooden door, stepped over the threshold and entered the inner room.

This room is very spacious, and what comes into view is Yuan Shunqiang sitting on a wicker chair, smiling and saying to Li Yuanlang: "My legs hurt in winter and I can't stand up anymore."

Yuan Shunqiang could do this, but Li Yuanlang had to take the initiative to take a few steps, bend down and bow to Yuan Shunqiang to say hello.

"You're welcome, it's just like going to your own home. There are cigarettes over there, so you can take them yourself."

"Thank you Mr. Yuan. I don't smoke. I'll quit."

Yuan Shunqiang praised: "Quitting smoking is a process of training one's will. If you are a small smoker, it is easy to quit, but if you are a big smoker, you must have strong self-control to succeed."

"I have been smoking for 50 years, and I didn't quit smoking completely until recently. Some people always say that you should reduce your intake and quit smoking. I think it's just nonsense. You either smoke or you don't smoke. There is no third option."

"Yuen Long, you started as a secretary and stayed up late writing materials, which is probably the same as a chimney. But you can grit your teeth and quit smoking. From this point alone, you are a determined person and a good comrade worthy of trust and trust."

Li Yuanlang hurriedly expressed his position modestly, "Mr. Yuan, you have spoken harshly, and I can't live up to it."

"Sit down, sit down and talk." Yuan Shunqiang pointed to the chair opposite.

The secretary came in, filled Li Yuanlang's cup of tea, closed the door and left knowingly.

"Oolong tea, I always drink this when I move to Hehe City. The tea is rich in flavor, not inferior to your Ruozhou."

Li Yuanlang picked up the tea cup, opened the lid, blew on it, touched his lips, and kept nodding and praising, "It is indeed good tea."

After saying the polite words, Yuan Shunqiang took off his reading glasses, pinched his eyebrows gently, and said: "Yuen Long, if you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Hall and tell me what difficult problems you encountered in Ruozhou."

"Others are fine, except that I am short of manpower." Li Yuanlang understood Yuan Shunqiang's temperament and liked to be straightforward.

If anyone beats around the bush and doesn't tell the truth, he will definitely serve tea to see the guests off.

This is still a good thing. If he is offended, no matter if he is the secretary of the provincial party committee or the governor, he will still not be given face. If he raises his eyes, he may slap the table.

This is related to the fact that he has been in charge of disciplinary inspection work for a long time and is famous for his hot temper in the circle.

I think back then, there was an incident where I contradicted my father-in-law in public because of differences of opinion.

"That's it." Yuan Shunqiang touched his chin, pointed to the door and said, "You go to the opposite room and take a look, and when you come back we can continue the rest of the conversation."

If Yuan Shunqiang hadn't said this, it would have scared Li Yuanlang into a cold sweat. He would have thought that he didn't say anything, which made Mr. Yuan unhappy and ordered him to be kicked out.

So, he walked out and went straight to the west room opposite.

It was still the same double wooden door. He opened it gently and something appeared in front of him, which surprised him.

A huge miniature courtyard model is placed in the center of the room.

It is divided into four front and rear courtyards, each courtyard is connected by a verandah.

The yard in the 1-2-3 system is divided into front yard, middle yard and back yard.

After the backyard, there is the back garden.

The model is very realistic and is simply a miniature version of Yuan Shunqiang's mansion.

At that time, a person's name popped into Li Yuanlang's mind.

Yes, this person is none other than Huang Zhongli.

Because Deputy Secretary Huang is a veritable expert in micro-plastics and a skilled craftsman.

Li Yuanlang had seen many such models in his home.

Presumably, the model in Yuan Shunqiang’s home was 100% made by him.

He immediately understood why Yuan Shunqiang asked him to come to this room.

Turning back, Yuan Shunqiang asked: "Do you understand?"

"I see."

"Okay, just understand."

In just a few words, Li Yuanlang's purpose of this trip has been achieved, and there is no point in staying any longer.

So he said goodbye.

Yuan Shunqiang stopped him, took out a kraft envelope from the book beside him, handed it to Li Yuanlang, "Give this to Zhongli."

Li Yuanlang took it with respectful hands, then turned and left.

After walking out of the room, the secretary appeared at the right time and gave Li Yuanlang a gift.

Ai Mingao also came out of the side room, and the two of them got back in the car and waved goodbye to the secretary.

The Accord drove away quickly.

"Drive slowly, no one is chasing you."

Aimingao explained: "No, it's hard for me to breathe in a place like this, it's so congested."

"It's psychological." Li Yuanlang said with a smile: "Actually, Mr. Yuan is very easy to get along with. He is cold-mouthed and warm-hearted. Let me tell you a secret. The more senior a person is, the more approachable he is."

"There is no need to put on a show in front of the people, because their identities are known to everyone. This is one. Second, it is difficult for officials at their level to get in touch with the masses. It is reasonable to see the masses' special affinity.

"

"Oh." Ai Mingao suddenly realized, "Secretary Li, you are well-informed, know a lot, and know more. In the future, once you have the opportunity, you should show me more of the world so that I can brag.

capital."

"Haha." Li Yuanlang shook his head gently, "Ming Gao, some things are not that simple, so don't have such high expectations. Do your job well and complete the tasks assigned by above. Don't have extravagant expectations, otherwise you will be disappointed.

big."

It was noon, and Li Yuanlang asked Ai Mingao to find a restaurant to have a meal before rushing back to Ruozhou in the afternoon.

Li Yuanlang came to Hehe City for the first time. Aimingao had been in Ruozhou for several years and Hehe City had been here before.

I have been involved in relatively large and famous restaurants, so I am naturally familiar with them.

"You must eat local seafood when you come to the river valley." Aimingao said: "The most famous one in the river valley is Zhuangyuan House. The seafood chefs there are hired from Guangdong Province, and some even show up at the state banquet.

skill."

"Zhuangyuanlou?" Li Yuanlang frowned slightly, and the name of an old acquaintance immediately flashed in his mind.

Shao Zizi, Shao Bonian.

Li Yuanlang had frequent contact with him in Yunyang and had many interactions with him.

Without him, Shao Bonian's Zhuangyuan Building would have long been in someone else's pocket.

In the same way, Shao Zizi repaid his kindness and helped Li Yuanlang gain a foothold in Daiding County and achieve brilliant achievements in Deping City. Shao Zizi played an indispensable role.

I just left these places and moved to Minzhong Province. When I arrived in Ruozhou City, I never saw him again.

Thinking that Shao Zizi's business was booming in Yunyang, it was unlikely that he would open a branch in Hehe City, a place he was unfamiliar with.
