Gao Bowen did not listen to him. He begged Yang Derong as if he was possessed, "County Yang, I admit that my ability is limited and my level is not high, but I am absolutely loyal to you. You know that Xu Wannian is a two-faced man. Whether he is sincere to you or not remains to be tested, but you don't need to test me at all. And that Qu Guangping, he climbed up by relying on his wife's bed. What ability does he have? Besides, it is not safe to keep such a person by your side. Don't worry, as long as I get married, you don't have to worry about the rest. Besides, sister-in-law has long wanted to buy a house for her child in the capital, right? I will arrange it. "
Hearing Gao Bowen's words, Yang Derong wavered. After thinking for a long time, he said, "You know, Xu Wannian is polite to me on the surface, but he is doing it in private. And that Qu Guangping is really not good enough. If I really ask him to be my assistant, I don't trust him! All right, I will talk to Guangping. "
The next morning, Yang Derong called Qu Guangping to his office and chatted with him. He said, "Guangping, I haven't been in Nanyang for a long time, so I don't know enough about the county's cadres. But I know you, Wannian, and Bowen. You are all good and trustworthy."
Qu Guangping already knew what Yang Derong was talking about. He said directly, "County Yang, I admit that my ability is limited, but since I have come in, I can't leave. If I am elected, I can prove my ability. You'd better find someone else. "
"Comrade Guangping!" Seeing Qu Guangping's angry face, Yang Derong said angrily, "Can't you have some principles in front of the big right and wrong? I can't deny your ability, but listen to what people say. There is nothing in your favor. "
When the preliminary list of candidates came out, there was an uproar. Some said that Shen Jianghu of the Historical Records Department was lucky and picked up a big loophole. Some said that Qu Guangping was like the director of the Land and Resources Bureau, who was elected by relying on his wife. The words were particularly harsh and unpleasant. Qu Guangping naturally heard it, but the more he heard it, the more he wanted to run to clear his name. He said, "So what if it's not good? As long as I'm upright, it's fine. No matter what they say, I, Qu Guangping, am also a person with hands and legs. How can I allow those despicable people to use bewitching techniques on me? I can't accept this! "
Yang Derong got up and walked to Qu Guangping. He softened his tone and said, "Guangping, I can understand your feelings. But let me give you a piece of advice. The more you are at a time like this, the more you can't be angry. The more you are angry, the more you will fall into their trap. Some people can't wait for you to make a fool of yourself at this time, so we have to stay calm. Was it really that easy to be a deputy mayor? Look at the other candidates, Dong Guoping and Xu Wannian. None of them is more capable than you. To put it bluntly, you really can't compete with them. Rather than being a foil to them, it was better to retire early and be their own bureau chief. If Bowen wants to run, then let him run. It's not like you don't know his ability and character. Hoping for him to get elected? Hmph! He's also a scapegoat. "
"Guangping, although we haven't known each other for a long time, I still trust you. I'm doing this to protect you!"
Although Yang Derong was usually arrogant and vulgar, he was quite good at ideological work. After his persuasion, Qu Guangping was swayed.
Yang Derong followed up and said, "Guangping, you've been in the position of the Bureau of Land and Resources for a long time. If you continue to stay, there may be problems. Maping County has had a Beijing Office a few years ago, but Nanyang County still doesn't have one. I've already thought about your way out. After this period of time, I'll propose to establish a Beijing Office, and you'll be the first director. What do you think? "
Qu Guangping had long wanted to leave this troublesome place, but unfortunately, he didn't have a strong relationship, so he couldn't jump out of this circle. Now that there was such an opportunity to work in the capital, of course, he was happy. He widened his eyes and said, "Really?"
"How can it be fake?" Yang Derong continued, "Although the Beijing Office is not a good unit, but after you go out and broaden your horizons, it will be different. If you can get a piece of land in the capital and earn some extra money, it won't be inferior to your position in the Bureau of Land and Resources, right? "
Yang Derong had already said it so openly, and if Qu Guangping still didn't accept it, he would be ungrateful. He said, "Okay, I'll listen to County Yang's arrangements. I'll quit!"
Nanyang County TV Station had already broadcast the interview of the candidates, and Qu Guangping's sudden withdrawal had to be remedied by adding Gao Bowen into the interview. Gao Bowen was an expert in building relationships, and he was good friends with the Bureau of Radio, Film, and Television's Bureau Chief. Although he couldn't get to the front of the interview, it was not a problem for him. He asked the Bureau Chief to purposely give him a few more minutes than the others, and also arranged for reporters to interview at the grassroots level. The Bureau of Safety and Security's news reports increased, and the TV station almost became the Bureau of Safety and Security's TV station, broadcasting Gao Bowen's glorious image 24 hours a day.
In this aspect, Gao Bowen was an expert!
But the focus of the officials and the masses' discussion was not on Gao Bowen, but on Xiao Yang. Xiao Yang suddenly jumped out, and it was a great visual impact. They were all commenting and making wild guesses about this unknown young man. As a result, various versions of the story spread among the people.
Some said that Xiao Yang's father was a high-ranking official, and the selection of the Deputy Mayor was specially arranged for him, and the others were just a foil. Some said that Xiao Yang was the illegitimate son of the new Municipal Party Committee's Secretary, Qin Xiuwen. With this layer of relationship, everything was easy to understand. There were also some who said that Xiao Yang was Zhang Zhiyuan's younger half-brother … The more it spread, the more exaggerated it became, and it was just short of saying that Xiao Yang was Zhang Zhiyuan's son.
Zhang Zhiyuan vaguely heard these news, but he sat there calmly, unmoved. But one thing was undeniable, Xiao Yang was handsome, had an extraordinary way of talking, and was especially photogenic. He spoke fluent Mandarin, and behaved naturally in front of the camera. A youthful and fresh wind blew through the entire Nanyang County. At least in the eyes of the masses, Xiao Yang's popularity was still relatively high. So what if the masses supported him? The final lifeline was still firmly in the hands of the authorities.
His mother, Liu Cuilan, stared at the screen and looked at Xiao Yang over and over again. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that Xiao Yang looked like her lost second son, Lu Yifeng. It was not only Liu Cuilan, many people thought that it was Lu Yiwei at first glance, but when they read the introduction carefully, they realized it was not him.
Liu Cuilan called Lu Yiwei dozens of times, and dragged him back from the unit. Lu Yiwei had just entered the door when Liu Cuilan said impatiently, "Yiwei, you're finally back. Look at this boy, doesn't he look like your younger brother?"
Lu Yiwei stared at the screen carefully, and said, "How can he be my younger brother? He doesn't look like him at all. Mom, have you gone crazy thinking about Xiao Feng? "
"No!" Liu Cuilan said firmly, "I know my son very well." After saying that, she picked up Lu Yifeng's childhood photo and compared it seriously, and said, "Look at this eyebrow, it's exactly the same. Look at the shape of his lips, it's the same. I dare say that he is Xiao Feng. "
Lu Yiwei took the photo and compared it, and there were indeed some similarities. But thinking of the story that Zhang Zhiyuan told that night, he shook his head and said, "Mom, Xiao Feng was only three years old at that time. He must have changed when he grew up. Besides, Xiao Yang has already told me about his background. He has a father and a mother, so how can he be Xiao Feng? Definitely not. You're thinking too much. "
After listening to Lu Yiwei, Liu Cuilan held the photo and cried bitterly, "Xiao Feng, where are you? Do you know how much I miss you …"
Lu Yiwei did not want his mother to suffer, so he hugged her and comforted her, saying, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely find Xiao Feng for you."
It was an unintentional move, but others said that he looked like Xiao Yang, and even his mother felt that Xiao Yang looked like his lost younger brother, Lu Yifeng. Lu Yiwei could not help but pay attention to him. He took out his younger brother's childhood photo and carefully compared it with Xiao Yang. There were indeed some similarities, but there were many people who looked alike, so how could he be sure?
The meeting was set for next Wednesday, and there were still four to five days left. Outsiders were indifferent to this matter, but the people involved were like ants on a hot pan, burning with anxiety, anxiously waiting for the "test". Six out of ten would be eliminated, and nearly half of the candidates would be eliminated. The ratio was quite high.
County party committee director Dong Guoping did not seem to be affected by this election, as if nothing had happened. His heart was as calm as water, and he did what he was supposed to do. He thought that with his qualifications and connections, this election was in the bag. Dong Guoping was so confident, but the others did not have his skills. They almost put down all the work in their hands, and tried their best to fight for a vote in the hands of the standing committee.
The standing committee members had become popular these two days, and they were hard to find. At night, they would definitely be at a certain table, drinking wine and agreeing to a banquet with each candidate. So much so that the standing committee members felt that all the candidates were good and should vote for them. But it was too late to cram at the last minute. In fact, they already had a balance in their hearts about who to vote for, but they were just doing it to deal with the situation.
The most active one was Gao Bowen. This was a hard-won opportunity, and he could not let it go easily. His methods were different from the others. He brought Shuangmiao Coal Mine's mine manager Meng Gang from house to house, and he did not even let go of the armed forces minister Yang Baogang, who had taken a long leave. Gao Bowen finally knocked on Yang Baogang's door with a lot of money, and promised to vote for him when the time came.
At the same time, Lu Yiwei did not stay idle. He canvassed for Xiao Yang according to Zhang Zhiyuan's instructions. There were many ways to canvass votes, and if the method was not appropriate, it would inevitably cause others to be disgusted. Especially the standing committee members, they were also county leaders, and they hated to be suppressed by the instructions of their superiors. Even if they agreed on the spot, they might not listen obediently. After all, the votes were in their hands, and they could not interfere with them filling in the ballots.
Lu Yiwei's canvassing method was very special. He did not mention a word about Xiao Yang's situation and Zhang Zhiyuan's intentions, but intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the urban development of Nanyang County. The members of the Standing Committee were very smart. They immediately understood the intention of the song. They did not know that Xiao Yang was an engineer in civil engineering, and such code words were more convenient.
