Coming out of Bowan Seafood Restaurant, Fang Yan and Qiao Xiaoli walked side by side on the sidewalk.

Qiao Xiaoli said with beaming eyes: "What a relief. Those words you said at the dinner table choked Minister Han to the point where he couldn't speak for a long time."

"He should be beaten hard. For his own selfish interests, he almost put the filming plan on hold. This kind of cadre is really incompetent!"

Seeing that Fang Yan was not in a high mood, Qiao Xiaoli asked curiously: "Why don't you say anything? You don't think I deliberately arranged for you to meet with Mr. Qi and the others, do you?"

Fang Yan shook his head gently, "I'm not so narrow-minded. The chance encounter tonight was your work, Mr. Qi's, and has nothing to do with you."

"But it's a good thing. There is a film crew promoting our winter snow scene in Lanqiao City for free. This will go a long way in increasing the visibility of our city."

Qiao Xiaoli nodded in agreement and said, "Fang Yan, you are becoming more and more like a cadre of a government department."

"How to say?"

Qiao Xiaoli responded: "Your vision and structure have improved, and your perspective on things has changed. Anyway, you are much taller than me."

Fang Yan sighed: "Maybe it has something to do with the environment I was exposed to."

At night under the street lights, the cold wind was biting, but it could not hide the slender figures of a young man and woman.

The two figures walked closer and closer, one of them gently held the other's arm, and his body slowly leaned forward...

At the same time, Li Yuanlang was receiving a call from his sister Ye Qingrou.

He told Li Yuanlang that Shui Qingzhang would be released early on the day before New Year's Day.

The reason why I chose this moment was because Ye Qingrou helped.

The original release date of Shui Qingzhang was the day after New Year's Day, which was the 2nd.

Considering that there is a three-day holiday on New Year's Day and the relevant departments are not working, it will affect the processing procedures.

Therefore, Ye Qingrou found a connection and rushed to the last day of the year two days in advance. In this way, Shui Qingzhang could still go home to celebrate the New Year.

For ordinary people, one day or two passes by in the blink of an eye.

But for people like Shui Qingzhang, who has been imprisoned for four years, every hour and every minute is torture.

After all, he hasn't breathed freedom for a long time.

"Sister, you are interested." Li Yuanlang said: "I will rush to the capital to pick him up that day. Your sister-in-law has prepared a residence in Chuzhong and has brought Gu Yu to live with him."

"Sister-in-law is very considerate." Ye Qingrou praised, "Gu Yu being by his side is the greatest comfort and hope for him."

After discussing some things, Li Yuanlang put down his cell phone and fell into deep thought.

I have become very busy these days, and the number of calls I have with Bai Qing has become irregular.

We used to video chat once every two or three days, but in total we haven't contacted each other for nearly a week.

Li Yuanlang had a hunch that Bai Qing was not in a high mood and seemed to be hiding something.

She didn't say anything when asked, which made Li Yuanlang very puzzled.

I put down my phone and thought for a while, then looked at the time. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

Forget it, at this time, Bai Qing is probably already asleep.

When he went to work the next day and saw Fang Yan, Fang Yan reported to Li Yuanlang that the TV series was going to shoot locations in Xiacheng District.

"Is there such a good thing?" Li Yuanlang was secretly happy and called Tang Xia, the Minister of Propaganda, and asked their Propaganda Department to contact them. It would be best to take this opportunity to promote Lanqiao City.

Tang Xia happily accepted this task and turned around to leave.

Three days later, the Lanqiao City Congress was held in the party school auditorium, lasting four days.

This is the first time Li Yuanlang has participated in such a meeting since he took office as Secretary of the Lanqiao Municipal Party Committee.

During these four days, he was extremely busy.

Participated in the opening ceremony and group discussions, focusing on his vision for agricultural development.

And he mentioned this again in his speech at the closing ceremony.

During this period, news also came from Beijiang Province. What he did not expect was that Guo Ziping actually came to Beijiang to take office as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

I really didn't expect that the place where Guo Ziping was released was Beijiang Province.

Thinking of dealing with him in the future, Li Yuanlang's heart was filled with mixed emotions that were hard to describe.

It is estimated that the arrangement made by the above means that Guo Ziping will stand up from where he fell.

After the congress ended, Li Yuanlang gave Fang Yan a task to inquire about the situation at the Meijia Hotel.

As soon as he took office, he heard that officials often ate and drank here. As for whether they received special services, Li Yuanlang was not sure yet.

In fact, he had no choice but to appoint Fang Yan. Currently in Lanqiao City, Li Yuanlang observed through this period that Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Gao Minghua and Deputy Mayor Meng Xianxin were trustworthy.

But after all, time was short, and Li Yuanlang felt uncertain.

What's more, Li Yuanlang didn't want local officials from Lanqiao to participate in the investigation of cadres.

The relationship is intertwined, and who knows what the superficial cooperation is like behind the scenes.

He is the municipal party committee secretary, and no one openly challenges him.

What's behind it is unknown.

Counting it all together, New Year's Day is coming soon, and Li Yuanlang will leave Lanqiao during the three days of rest.

One is to collect water for Qingzhang, and the other is about to go see his wife and children.

After settling the matters at hand, Li Yuanlang took a flight from Keqi City to the capital on the afternoon of the 30th.

As early as when he was waiting for his flight at Keqi Airport, Li Yuanlang received a call from Lian Mingyu and asked him to send someone to pick him up after landing.

The two of them usually meet around the Spring Festival, but this time it was earlier. I wonder what kind of medicine Lian Mingyu is selling in his gourd.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Yuanlang's flight landed, he was picked up by a black red flag car as he walked out of the airport.

Along the way, Li Yuanlang sat alone in the back seat, looking at the familiar night view of the capital, but he felt inexplicably nervous.

It was really strange. He and Lian Mingyu were supposed to be old acquaintances, so why were they nervous? He couldn't figure it out himself.

As usual, it's a place that can't be shown on the map.

Lian Mingyu was one step ahead of him and was already sitting in the room drinking tea and listening to music.

After meeting, Lian Mingyu stood up and shook hands with him, "Don't be surprised if I brought you here as soon as you got off the plane."

"You and I are still being polite." Li Yuanlang filled a cup of tea, took a big sip, nodded frequently and praised: "Good tea."

"You're hungry, I'll have the food served right now."

Lian Mingyu clapped his hands, and soon there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Several service staff came in pushing carts and placed the dishes on the table one by one.

Four dishes, one soup, and two bottles of wine.

As usual, each person has a pot and pours his own.

"Mingyu, why are you so anxious to see me?" Li Yuanlang took a sip of wine and put down the glass and asked.

Lian Mingyu hesitated, and after a while he said leisurely: "Yuen Long, you and I have been getting along for several years and have a harmonious relationship, but it's hard for me to talk about this matter today."

"What's going on?"

"There is some misunderstanding between my father and your father-in-law..." Lian Mingyu observed Li Yuanlang's expression and said hesitantly: "I don't know everything about this misunderstanding because it involves a very high level. Even with my status,

My father didn’t tell me either.”

"I hope that when you see your father-in-law, you can enlighten him and stop being stubborn. This is not good..."

Lian Mingyu was completely considering his words, trying to avoid blunt words.

With many years of experience, even though Lian Mingyu said it calmly, Li Yuanlang still felt the seriousness of the problem.

In the past few years since my father-in-law retired, I have always had a good cooperative relationship with Yu Jinfeng.

The most important thing is that Yu Jinfeng took office and his father-in-law supported it.

He didn't ask any further, even if he asked to the end, Lian Mingyu wouldn't tell.

I believe Lian Mingyu knows the specific reason at all, and the reason why he keeps it secret is not because he doesn't want to tell Li Yuanlang.

But by saying it halfway, it is better to show that this matter is not trivial.

What he meant represented Yu Jinfeng's thoughts.

Using Li Yuanlang's words to persuade Lu Linsong was one of the channels Lian Mingyu could use.

Because of this incident, the meal suddenly became boring.

Next, Lian Mingyu talked about Li Yuanlang's work in Lanqiao, and he also dealt with it one after another.

After finally surviving the meal, Li Yuanlang found a good hotel to stay in and couldn't wait to call Bai Qing.

No video was used this time. Li Yuanlang felt that he could speak clearly and thoroughly through a dedicated phone call.

When Bai Qing heard Li Yuanlang's question, she didn't show any surprise, "Husband, I haven't contacted you much during this time because my father was hospitalized once. His heart and blood pressure were not good, and most importantly, he was depressed.

, with a sad face. He has been discharged from the hospital and is recuperating at home..."
