After hanging up the phone, Ma Bin looked at Li Xiaoning again and his eyes became very hot. His attitude was very different from the false politeness before. He smiled and said: "Comrade Xiaoning, you are welcome to come to Xinpi County to lead us in construction. Don’t worry, I will always stand firmly behind you and cooperate with your work..."
Seeing Ma Bin's 180-degree change in attitude, Li Xiaoning felt a little funny, but still pretended to be serious and said: "Secretary Ma, you are so polite. You are an experienced old party member. I want to tell you more." Learning is..."
The two exchanged polite greetings again, and Li Xiaoning stood up to leave. The purpose of his trip had been achieved. Ma Bin had never dealt with Lian Yu, but now he had let him see his sincerity, and Zheng Chang spoke from it. What follows? Ma Bin will definitely become a staunch ally.
After coming out of Ma Bin's office, Li Xiaoning went straight to Yao Donglin's place.
When Li Xiaoning walked into Yao Donglin's office, Yao Donglin was watching a Japanese love action movie with headphones. When he saw Li Xiaoning, he jumped up from his chair and said in shock: "Li Xiaoning, what are you doing here?"
Li Xiaoning smiled slightly and said: "Deputy County Magistrate Yao, don't be nervous, I just came to chat with you."
Seeing Li Xiaoning's calmness, Yao Donglin became even more frightened, and shouted in a stern voice: "Li Xiaoning, what do you want to do? We have nothing to talk about..."
Li Xiaoning sat down on the sofa beside him and said with a faint smile: "Not necessarily. I have some materials here that were sent to me by others. I would like to ask Deputy County Magistrate Yao to take a look." The brown paper document bag in his hand was handed over.
Yao Donglin took the document bag and opened it in confusion. It was filled with photos. The male protagonists in the photos were all of him, but the female protagonists were different people. This was evidence that he went to the hotel to book rooms with different women. Several women are also government workers.
"None of this is true, this is photoshopped, this is a frame-up, a naked frame-up," Yao Donglin roared in panic.
"Shh, keep your voice down, does Deputy County Magistrate Yao want everyone to know about this?" Li Xiaoning stretched out his index finger and made a gesture to his lips, "Since Deputy County Magistrate Yao said these photos are fake, then Why be so alarmed,"
"You...you...what...you...want...to..." Yao Donglin suddenly slumped on the chair, no longer as tough as before.
"I didn't think anything of it. In fact, I don't believe these photos are real, otherwise I would have brought Secretary Ma Binma with me," Li Xiaoning said lightly.
"Yes, it's not true, it's not true," Yao Donglin saw that Li Xiaoning's tone was a little loose and hurriedly climbed to the ground and said.
"PS technology is so advanced now that any junior high school student can make these photos in front of a computer," Li Xiaoning said calmly, "Do you think I believe these photos that are difficult to distinguish between true and false, or do I believe Deputy County Magistrate Yao's photos? What about party spirit and political consciousness?”
Yao Donglin is not a fool. He naturally understands the meaning of Li Xiaoning's words. He is letting himself choose. He pondered for a moment and pretended to be sincere and said: "County Magistrate Li, I, Yao Donglin, may not have much ability, but my ethics are definitely I am innocent, I will never do anything that goes against the spirit of the party,"
Li Xiaoning smiled slightly: "I also believe that Deputy County Magistrate Yao is sincere to the party and the people. I will leave these photos here for you, but these are copies. I guess the person who reported the report still has a backup, but don't worry , As long as you, Deputy County Magistrate Yao, say that what you do is on the side of the people, I will firmly support you..."
What else could Yao Donglin say at this time, he could only nod his head and said: "Don't worry, County Magistrate Li, from now on I will follow your lead and do a few things that are beneficial to the people."
"That's good, you go ahead and get busy, I'm leaving." As Li Xiaoning spoke, he stood up and prepared to leave. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said seriously: "As party members, we should still strengthen our self-cultivation. Don’t let similar photos appear again in the future, otherwise, even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won’t be able to clean yourself up.” After saying that, he walked out of the office without looking back.
Yao Donglin felt a coldness coming from his bones, and his body shivered shuddering. Only now did he realize that he not only underestimated Li Xiaoning, but also greatly underestimated Li Xiaoning. This young man was by no means what he looked like on the outside. It's so harmless. If I continue to choose to go against him, I'm afraid I won't even know how to die.
After taking care of Ma Bin and Yao Donglin, Li Xiaoning went to He Zhongguo, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, and Xie Zhaoxing, Minister of United Front Work. The two men themselves had already planned to get closer to Li Xiaoning. After a while of deception by Li Xiaoning, they finally They all readily stated that they would advance and retreat together with County Magistrate Li in the future.
So far, Li Xiaoning has won the support of four members of the Standing Committee. With his own vote, he has the strength to compete with Lian Yu in the eleven-member Standing Committee. Because Xiao Hongbing has always abstained from voting, he can Ignore it.
After attending the united front work meeting, Li Xiaoning had just returned to the county compound when he saw a Changfeng Cheetah with military plates driving in. The car stopped, the door opened, and a tall middle-aged man walked with a vigorous pace. The officer from the school came out, it was Xiao Hongbing, the Minister of Human Resources and Armed Forces of Xinpi County.
Li Xiaoning already knew from Hou Xiucai that Xiao Hongbing was his father's comrade-in-arms and considered an elder, so he stopped and planned to say hello to Xiao Hongbing. Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his hand, Xiao Hongbing had already walked to his side in three or two steps. In front of him, a standard military salute was given with a bang.
This startled Li Xiaoning. He waved his hands hurriedly and said, "Minister Xiao, what are you doing? How can I bear your salute?"
Xiao Hongbing shook his head and said seriously: "My military salute is not for you, but for the squad leader. Without the squad leader, I, Xiao Hongbing, would not be where I am today." As he spoke, the eyes of this iron-clad man turned red.
Li Xiaoning understood that Hou Xiucai must have told Xiao Hongbing his identity behind his back. Although he felt that Hou Xiucai should not have done this, he could not blame Hou Xiucai for thinking about himself. In addition, Xiao Hongbing mentioned his father, Li Xiaoning He was also a little sad, his eyes were moist, and he hurriedly covered it up: "Uncle Xiao, come and sit in my office." Because Xiao Hongbing already knew his identity and this was not a formal occasion, he changed his title.
At this time, when it was officially time to go to work, many people saw Xiao Hongbing saluting Li Xiaoning in the compound, and it quickly spread to the ears of more people. Although everyone didn't know why Xiao Hongbing, who had always looked down on local cadres, would Suddenly I was so respectful to the young county magistrate Li Xiaoning, but everyone could understand one thing: that is, this county magistrate Li is not simple. In fact, if you think about it, if Li Xiaoning didn't have a very strong backing, how could he have become such a young magistrate? County Magistrate, everyone is thinking in their hearts, how can they get County Magistrate Li to notice them, how can they join Magistrate Li's camp.
The two entered the office. After listening to Xiao Hongbing's story, Li Xiaoning understood why Xiao Hongbing respected his father so much. It turned out that Li Weijie had saved Xiao Hongbing's life on the battlefield.
Xiao Hongbing participated in that war as a new recruit. It was his first time on the battlefield and he didn’t understand anything. At that time, his company was responsible for capturing a high ground. After three shellings, the order to storm was immediately issued. The soldiers shouted: "Charge," he desperately charged towards the high ground. There was a minefield in front of the high ground that had not been destroyed by artillery fire. There were not only mines on it, but also bamboo sticks and iron nails coated with poison. From time to time, a very small number of nervous soldiers pulled the trigger. The trigger was pulled, and the comrades who were running in front were shot inexplicably. Those who fell fell down. Many mines were detonated by the bodies of the fallen comrades. Those who did not fall continued to rush, and those who were injured and could not rush sat down on the spot. Panting, no one cares about anyone, and no one knows how many comrades have been sacrificed.
When they reached the edge of the high ground, the hidden enemy troops who had not been killed by the shells discovered their actions. Suddenly, various weapons opened fire on them, and the company commander Guan Jianguo urgently ordered them to lie down and take cover.
Because it was the first time for Xiao Hongbing to face the battle, he was too nervous. When he lay down, he just covered his head with his hands, raised his buttocks high, and threw his gun aside. He heard the rapid fire of the enemy's machine gun, and some of his inexperienced comrades couldn't bear it. He stood up to look and was hit by a barrage of bullets and died.
Li Weijie was right next to Xiao Hongbing at that time. It was he who held Xiao Hongbing down regardless of his own danger, allowing him to survive the enemy's first counterattack. During the second charge, he taught Xiao Hongbing how to use his words and deeds. Bushes and rocks serve as bunkers as you slowly approach the high ground. Once an enemy machine gun fires or a grenade hits you, you can quickly lie down and roll away to avoid being hit.
Xiao Hongbing and Li Xiaoning chatted for more than two hours. During this period, neither of them mentioned anything about the Standing Committee. It was mainly because Li Xiaoning was listening to Xiao Hongbing telling stories about the war. However, Li Xiaoning knew that in the future game of the Standing Committee, Xiao Hongbing would definitely win. He is the staunchest ally.
The fact that Xiao Hongbing took the initiative to visit Li Xiaoning naturally reached Lian Yu's ears. At first, he felt a little nervous and had a bad premonition, but then he felt relieved. He has been operating in Xinpi County for so many years. How can a young guy like Li Xiaoning be easily shaken? So what if Xiao Hongbing, the invisible member of the Standing Committee, sides with Li Xiaoning? What if his old enemy Ma Bin also sides with Li Xiaoning? He still firmly occupies the Standing Committee. will have advantages.
Lian Yu also knew that Yuan Kegong's appreciation for Li Xiaoning would definitely make many people turn to Li Xiaoning. He had indeed heard that many people had gone to report work to Li Xiaoning recently, but he was still very confident, as the saying goes. "The county officials are not as good as the current managers." He is the top leader in Xinpi County, not to mention the direct leader of Xinpi County, Pingchuan City Mayor Qin Fengxiang, who also has no favorable impression of Li Xiaoning.
More importantly, Lian Yu had already set a big trap for Li Xiaoning, and Li Xiaoning was desperately jumping into it.
