Coming out of the ancient city of Xiao Guan, Li Moqun went to Red Flag Village to pay his respects to the revolutionary martyrs, and then to Longshan Town. He was in a good mood. Everywhere he went, he asked for details in detail. But when the reporters were filming, he deliberately avoided the set, and he didn't like crowds of people. Especially when he entered the vegetable greenhouse, he blocked the other entourage outside. In addition, he was more concerned about the camera. As long as the camera was pointed at him, he would stand straight, hands naturally hanging down, eyes staring forward, and interact with the camera from time to time.
Lu Yiwei saw all the subtle movements and details. It was obvious that he was a pragmatic person. From the professional point of view of a secretary, he could basically judge the behavior and habits of a leader. In the past, when he followed Bai Zongfeng for research, as an assistant, he rarely followed behind and stole the camera. Instead, he avoided and observed the other's every move, and from time to time, he would make eye contact and remind him of some small details.
As a provincial capital, Jiangdong's political environment was still clean. Coupled with Bai Zongfeng's powerful background, the mayor almost couldn't find a sense of existence, and he was willing to play a supporting role. As long as he could hold the scene, the people under him could do well. After coming to Nanzhou, the gap was too obvious. Whether it was the county or the city, the overall situation was gloomy, dirty, and chaotic. A coal mine owner could use the director of the Municipal People's Congress, and even organized the people's congress to exonerate him, and put pressure on the County party committee. This was unprecedented and unheard of. A county magistrate could control Long 'an County for so many years and make the county a mess. He didn't believe that the city didn't know anything about it. It could only be said that there was a secret collusion.
In such an environment, Lu Yiwei couldn't do anything at all. His energy was spent on weighing the pros and cons every day. He was eager to meet a good leader who supported and understood him. Could Li Moqun be one?
After the research in Longshan Town, they returned to the county hotel for dinner. At the dinner table, Li Moqun didn't talk much. After dinner, without taking a break, he held a forum. Lu Yiwei spoke on behalf of the County party committee. He didn't look at the script during the whole process, but his thoughts were clear, and he spoke eloquently about the work in the past six months.
"Problems."
Li Moqun took notes as he listened. When he was done, he sat up and said, "You said that Long 'an County's team composition is unreasonable and that their age is too old. Tell me more about it."
Lu Yiwei had basically grasped Li Shiqiang's work rhythm and frankly said, "Secretary Li, there are currently 9 members in the Standing Committee, with 2 vacancies. Other than me and the Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Qiu Yingxue, the rest of us are above 50 years old, and many of us have been in Long An County for 7-8 years. For example, the Deputy Secretary of the County party committee, Comrade Sun Gensheng, 55 years old this year. There was also the Head of the Organization Department, Comrade Shen Chenwei, and the Head of the Propaganda Department, Comrade He Qisen. They were both veterans of the revolution and had made outstanding contributions to the development of Long 'an. I always wanted to improve, but … "
Li Moqun turned to Nie Wenqi and whispered, "Secretary Li, the Municipal Party Committee has studied the situation in Long 'an County and made adjustments to some comrades during the 28th Standing Committee Meeting. We're currently in the observation phase."
Li Moqun nodded thoughtfully and said, "Is this problem only in Long 'an County, or does it exist in other counties?"
Nie Wenqi couldn't answer for a moment and vaguely said, "This … it exists in some counties and urban areas."
Li Moqun didn't pursue the matter. He looked at the notebook and asked, "You said that Long 'an County owes nearly 500 million RMB. What caused this, and how do you intend to repay it?"
Nie Wenqi stared at Lu Yiwei with eyes that were about to bleed. Lu Yiwei didn't report according to his intention at all. At this point, he could only let nature take its course.
Lu Yiwei cleverly avoided this question and said, "Long 'an is a provincial poor county, and there are many reasons for the debt. I intend to repay it step by step. I don't owe anyone a single cent, and everything must be handled properly."
"Hmm, this is a sensitive issue. If it's not handled properly, it will easily cause social conflicts. Don't be in a hurry to develop. Resolve some of the potential conflicts first and create a good environment before talking about development. "
Li Moqun asked a few more questions and concluded, "Everyone knows that I used to work in Pingkang City, and now I'm in Nanzhou City. One in the north and one in the south, the development gap is huge. It can be said that Long 'an and Pingkang have many similarities, and it's a microcosm of Xijiang Province's development. I've often said in different meetings that poverty isn't scary. What's scary is a lack of initiative, a lack of self-confidence, a self-abandonment, and a hopeless situation. What's the difference between such people and ants, or even worse than ants. "
"Long 'an is the first stop of my research. Why did I come here? It's not because of how outstanding you all are, nor is it because you all are outstanding. On the contrary, Long' an has become very famous in the province this year. I often hear news about you all from far away in Pingkang. Who would've thought that you would be transferred to Nanzhou City? There are many things that I feel ashamed for you all.
"There are some cadres who always want to negotiate conditions and pay with the organization. They feel that the world is unfair to you, and that the people of the world have wronged you. Is that true? Please rest assured that our party will never bury any talent. As long as you have the ability, even if you only have one skill, you will be promoted and put in an important position. There are living examples around you. Comrade Yiwei is so young, yet he's already the secretary of the County party committee. Why isn't he one of you?
"I've just arrived, so I'm not familiar with everyone's situation, but I can say something here. If you don't want to do it, then say it. If you don't want to do it, then vacate it. No one is forcing you. What do you mean by talking about politics, talking about party spirit, and talking about self-cultivation? Aren't you all doing this activity? Have you thought about it? "
As Li Moqun spoke, the people sitting across from him lowered their heads and blushed. Lu Yiwei was also ashamed. He quickly jotted down every word in his notebook.
Today was the first time they met, so Li Moqun didn't want to talk too much. He simply said a few words and ended the meeting. After the meeting was adjourned, Lu Yiwei was left alone.
Nie Wenqi sat there motionlessly. His secretary, Cui Junkai, understood what was going to happen next. He got up and called the reporters to leave.
"Comrade Wenqi, can you go out for a while? I want to talk to Yiwei alone."
Nie Wenqi was shocked and quickly got up to leave.
Only the two of them were left in the meeting room. Li Moqun carried a cup of water to the lounge next door, and Lu Yiwei quickly followed him. He took out a cigarette and lit it. He stood there and said, "Secretary Li, I will remember what you said today. I will carry it out seriously in the following days. I will not let you down."
Li Moqun pointed to the sofa. "Let's sit down and talk."
Lu Yiwei sat down, and Li Moqun said, "I have known you for a long time. Do you still recognize me?"
