After coming out of Liu Shouwang's office, Liu Lihai went directly to Shi Zhilin's office. As soon as he entered the office, Shi Zhilin invited him to sit down. Shi Zhilin didn't look at him like Liu Shouwang did. Instead, he went straight to the point and talked to him about the education reform. He handed Liu Lihai the list of teachers who had violated the rules in the county. This surprised Liu Lihai and made him look at Shi Zhilin again. Of course, he wouldn't look at Shi Zhilin directly, but he had a lot of doubts about Shi Zhilin in his heart. It turned out that Shi Zhilin knew everything, and he actually got the list that Liu Lihai needed without batting an eyelid. For Liu Lihai, this was far more mysterious than Liu Shouwang constantly looking at him. But it was precisely because of this mystery that Liu Lihai had an indescribable fear. He also didn't understand why Shi Zhilin, the county head, gave him such a feeling. But once this feeling took root in Liu Lihai's heart, he was very clear that it would germinate and even grow into a towering tree.
At this time, Liu Lihai's heart was really in a mess. Liu Shouwang was a straightforward person, and he always did what he said. He would also play dangerous tricks, but such a person wouldn't suddenly stab you in the back, and he wouldn't do dirty tricks like kicking you when you're down. As for people like Shi Zhilin, Liu Lihai couldn't figure them out. He didn't know what kind of medicine Shi Zhilin was hiding in the gourd, and he didn't know how powerful this medicine was, and whether he could bear it. He was still afraid of Shi Zhilin in his heart. He always felt that Shi Zhilin had hidden countless traps from top to bottom, and every trap would be impossible to guard against.
Now, Liu Lihai didn't know what Shi Zhilin's purpose was. He had no other choice but to accept Shi Zhilin's help and cut down the people on Shi Zhilin's list.
When Liu Lihai received the name list from Shi Zhilin, he tried his best to suppress his thoughts. He looked at Shi Zhilin gratefully and said, "Mayor Shi, thank you so much. It took me a lot of effort to get this famous unit, but Mayor Shi got it for me so quickly. In the future, can I ask Mayor Shi to guide me in my work? Can you teach me how to mingle with the grassroots cadres? "
Although Liu Lihai was flattering Shi Zhilin, his attitude was very honest. Because of his honesty, the words he said were especially sincere. Shi Zhilin could not hear the feeling of flattery at all, which made Shi Zhilin quite happy.
Therefore, for the first time, Shi Zhilin pulled Liu Lihai and talked for a long time. He said, "Xiao Liu, the situation in Lin County is really complicated. If we, the cadres from outside, are not united, it's easy for us to be tied up by the local cadres in Lin County. Not to mention work, I'm afraid that no one will even listen to us. You've been here for some time, and I believe you know this feeling very well. "
How could these words be the same as Liu Shouwang's? Why did Shi Zhilin suddenly feel the same way? Was it because he was just a follower of Gong Daojin? Was it because all these years, he was just a shadow county magistrate? But why would he say these words to him? He knew that he was very close to Gong Daojin, but he still said these words? Was it a test? Or was it a sincere heart-to-heart talk like Liu Shouwang?
Liu Lihai trusted Liu Shouwang. This was a kind of intuition. Liu Shouwang said that the mentality of the cadres from outside was to have a heart-to-heart talk, but as for what Shi Zhilin meant, Liu Lihai really didn't know. Without him knowing, he could choose the moves that Leng Hongyan taught him, smile, and nod to deal with everything.
Yes, Liu Lihai thought of Leng Hongyan again. Only then did he know that Leng Hongyan had left a very, very deep impression in his heart. This kind of impression had nothing to do with the feelings between a man and a woman, with physical intercourse, and even with relying on each other.
Later, Shi Zhilin also said some words of support for Liu Lihai and encouraged him to carry out the education reform to the end. If anything happened, Liu Shouwang, him, and Gong Daojin would be there to support him. They would protect him. When Shi Zhilin said these words, there was always a smile on his face. In Liu Lihai's view, this kind of smile was a trained professional smile. It was the kind of smile that Leng Hongyan had always taught him to wear on his face. When he saw this professional smile on Shi Zhilin's face, he actually felt a kind of disgust. He knew that this kind of disgust was an emotion that he shouldn't have. In a sense, he should learn from Shi Zhilin's experienced and professional face, but he really felt disgusted and wanted to leave Shi Zhilin as soon as possible. Fortunately, after Shi Zhilin said a few words, he asked him to carry out the education reform and sent him out of the office.
Liu Lihai almost ran away from Shi Zhilin's office. On the way back to his office, he kept telling himself to restrain his feelings. Whether it was love or hate, he shouldn't show it easily, and he shouldn't easily deny a person. But no matter how he persuaded himself, his doubts still couldn't be driven away, and his fear remained in the deepest part of his heart. He knew that he had to guard against Shi Zhilin at all times, to guard against the person who was helping him now. This was very tangled for him, and it was an emotion that he had never experienced before. But he had to experience it, and he had to observe it.
When Liu Lihai returned to his office, he unfolded the list that Shi Zhilin gave him and looked at it. The first person on the list was Ruolan. The appearance of Ruolan when she left his office appeared in Liu Lihai's mind again. He couldn't bear to remove such a girl who was still dreaming from the teaching team. But if he didn't do this, could the people who came later be removed? Could the education in the village still be guaranteed? When he thought of the old teacher who was still wearing patched clothes, and the hope in his eyes when he saw him off the school gate, Liu Lihai felt that Ruolan's dream was nothing compared to those old teachers who had dedicated their youth to the education in the village.
Liu Lihai quickly read the list. He called Gu Desheng, and Gu Desheng's attitude was also very different. It seemed that Liu Shouwang and Shi Zhilin had done Gu Desheng's work in advance. On the phone, Gu Desheng reflected on his mistake of leaving the meeting room in the middle of the last time, and promised to cooperate with Liu Lihai to push forward the education reform. Liu Lihai said on the phone, "Thank you for your support, Director Gu. I have a list in my hand, and I hope that each school will implement it according to the list. After half a month, I will go to each school to investigate the implementation of the reform. The next step is to fight for the subsidies for the village teachers, and merge the village schools that can be merged as much as possible, so as to ensure the source of students and the quality of teachers. "
Gu Desheng kept praising Liu Lihai on the phone. He didn't discount anything that Liu Lihai proposed. This made Liu Lihai feel more grateful to Liu Shouwang and Shi Zhilin. No matter how afraid he was of Shi Zhilin, at least Shi Zhilin was supporting him at the moment. Maybe he had misread Shi Zhilin.
The education reform proposed by Liu Lihai, with the strong support and cooperation of several main leaders and Gu Desheng, had progressed relatively quickly and smoothly. One day, Qi Qiang called Liu Lihai. He said on the phone, "Magistrate Liu, we haven't had a drink together for a long time, are you free?"
Because his work was smooth, and because he wanted to clear up a lot of doubts, Liu Lihai said to the phone without thinking, "Okay, let's meet at Jia Jia Le Tea Bar."
After Liu Lihai put down the phone, he went to Jia Jia Le Tea Bar alone. He didn't drive, and the government compound was not far from Jia Jia Le Tea Bar. Besides, he couldn't drink with a car. He suddenly wanted to drink. These days, Sun Xiaomu gave him a stable and optimistic mood. It seemed that she really had a good life in the provincial capital. And because of the turn of the road, his work was unexpectedly smooth. He wanted to drink and give himself a boost.
After the two met, they shook each other's arms like old friends, chose a room facing the mountain, and ordered some side dishes. Because it was a friend drinking, the wine was naturally casual and congenial.
After a few drinks, Qi Qiang was obviously more talkative. He was curious about Liu Lihai. If Liu Lihai was just a toy boy raised by Leng Hongyan, Qi Qiang would mostly look down on him. He was a man, but he looked down on men who lived off women, although there was nothing wrong with men who lived off women, and their road was relatively easy. Take Liu Lihai for example. If it weren't for Leng Hongyan, would he have come to Lin County to be the deputy magistrate?
Obviously, the answer was impossible. However, Liu Lihai was not the kind of man who lived off women. According to Qi Qiang's observation of Liu Lihai, he had never bowed to Leng Hongyan in front of outsiders. However, Leng Hongyan had been secretly helping him. Qi Qiang, who was connected to the news circle, had long heard of this.
However, what Qi Qiang did not understand was that Liu Lihai was very capable of working, and he was not afraid of the powerful. Not only did he have the protection of the princess of Gong Daojin's family, but even Ruolan strongly supported Liu Lihai. What Qi Qiang did not understand the most was that Lin County's entangled education for so many years had been solved by this young man. Moreover, his reform plan had been strongly praised by the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. It could be said that since Qi Qiang entered the officialdom of Lin County, he had never encountered such a successful example of a dispatched cadre implementing political reform in Lin County. And Liu Lihai, who was less than 30 years old, had actually succeeded. This aroused Qi Qiang's curiosity and observation of Liu Lihai, which was also the reason why he worked hard to become Liu Lihai's best friend.
"Brother," Qi Qiang changed the way he addressed him. Liu Lihai's heart warmed up. He raised his glass and said, "Come, big brother, let's call each other brothers from now on."
