Liu Lihai was reading all kinds of news on the Internet. In his idle chatting, he entered the forum of Lin County. There was news about the groundbreaking ceremony of the Cemetery of Martyrs in Lin County's forum. While he was reading this news, the phone in his office rang. When he picked up the phone, Ma Xianli's voice came through. "County Magistrate Liu, are you busy?" Ma Xianli asked.
"I'm fine. What's the matter, Minister Ma? "Liu Lihai asked.
"I want to treat County Magistrate Liu to a meal. Do you have time?" Ma Xianli asked on the phone. Liu Lihai was stunned for a moment. Ma Xianli rarely talked to him. Why would he treat him to a meal now? He wanted to refuse, but Ma Xianli added, "County Magistrate Liu, please don't refuse, okay? I have something to ask County Magistrate Liu. "Liu Lihai saw Ma Xianli's words and agreed. Ma Xianli told him where to eat and hung up the phone. Liu Lihai stared at the phone and felt a little regretful. The election had just passed, and he felt weird eating with his competitor.
When it was almost time to get off work, Ma Xianli called again and mentioned eating with Liu Lihai. Liu Lihai had no choice but to ask Xiao Zhou to send him to the place Ma Xianli mentioned. Ma Xianli arrived earlier than him and stood at the door waiting for him. As soon as he saw him, he ran over enthusiastically and invited him to the private room.
After the two of them sat down, Ma Xianli first said to Liu Lihai, "County Magistrate Liu, I'm sorry. My position should belong to you. "
Ma Xianli's face was honest, and Liu Lihai felt that at least what Ma Xianli said at this time was sincere. Everyone knew that the position of Publicity Minister should have been Liu Lihai, but it fell to Ma Xianli. It was definitely a lie to say that Ma Xianli did not know beforehand. But now, Ma Xianli took the initiative to speak to Liu Lihai like this, and Liu Lihai was a little touched. He continued Ma Xianli's words and said, "The election is not something you and I can control, so there's nothing to be sorry about. Is there something you need from me? "
Ma Xianli saw that Liu Lihai didn't turn around, so he said directly, "I do need to consult Mr. Liu on some things. You also know that the groundbreaking ceremony of the Cemetery of Martyrs is about to begin, but Secretary Shi is always dissatisfied with my plan. You've seen it this morning. I've been scolded by him again. I can handle logistics, but I'm really a layman when it comes to publicity. Right now, I'm trying my best, so I'd like to ask County Magistrate Liu to give me some advice, okay? "
Ma Xianli sincerely asked Liu Lihai for advice. Although this boy was much younger than him, Shi Zhilin specifically asked him to learn from Liu Lihai when he was free. Ma Xianli had no choice but to treat the boy to a drink and ask for advice. Besides, Liu Lihai graduated from a famous school. It wouldn't be embarrassing for him to ask Liu Lihai any questions.
With that in mind, Ma Xianli did not think that there was anything awkward about treating Liu Lihai to a drink and lowering his head. Anyway, he had now obtained an official position, which was a real thing. It was a position that many people dreamed of. Besides, with this position, he would receive the treatment of a divisional leader after he retired. This was an extremely rare position in Lin County. As a native of Lin County, Ma Xianli was naturally happy and excited. As for work, as long as there were no mistakes, he would do whatever the leader told him to do.
All these years, this was Ma Xianli's magic weapon. If the leader told him to go east, he would never go west. With this magic weapon, he had sent away one secretary and county magistrate after another. Now, he had become a veteran of the Lin County government building.
Liu Lihai wanted to decline. This was not something he should do. Besides, Chao Zi was sent to prison because of this project. He didn't even know how long he would be sentenced to. Although he had asked Zhao Guangming to help him put in a good word for Gong Daojin and Chao Zi, it probably wouldn't be of much help. He was still hesitating about whether he should look for Yao Haidong. There was always something unclear between him and Yao Haidong. Liu Lihai knew this very well. However, since he had promised Gong Yue that he would strive to reduce the sentence of Chao Zi and Gong Daojin, he still had to ask Yao Haidong.
When the wine and dishes were served, Ma Xianli took out a proposal from his bag and handed it to Liu Lihai. Liu Lihai had no choice but to take it and look at it. At a glance, he knew the reason why Shi Zhilin was not satisfied. In this proposal, Ma Xianli only focused on the relationship with Beijing and the significance of the Martyrs' Cemetery, but neglected to promote Shi Zhilin. It could be said that Shi Zhilin had poured all his heart and soul into this project. How could the Publicity Department ignore his credit? However, when he really wanted Liu Lihai to promote Shi Zhilin, he felt very unhappy. However, Ma Xianli looked sincere and he couldn't bear to let Ma Xianli be reprimanded by Shi Zhilin again. So, he added a few items to the proposal and asked him to go back to the Publicity Department to reorganize it and then show it to Shi Zhilin.
As soon as Ma Xianli saw the items added by Liu Lihai, he immediately understood why his proposal was so old-fashioned. He didn't expect that Liu Lihai was so young, but had such an experienced way of dealing with so many things. He couldn't help but admire this young man from the bottom of his heart.
When Ma Xianli took the revised proposal from Liu Lihai and gave it to Shi Zhilin, it was approved at once. At this time, Ma Xianli's view of Liu Lihai in a new light came from the deepest part of his heart. He didn't have the ambition to enter the Lin County's Standing Committee at all. Over the years, he was used to doing whatever the leaders wanted him to do. If he really wanted to do it alone, he really couldn't do it. Fortunately, with Liu Lihai around, Ma Xianli didn't have to worry a lot.
On the day of the groundbreaking ceremony of the Cemetery of Martyrs, the whole Lin County was immersed in the tension of welcoming the arrival of the leaders. The stalls on both sides of the road leading to the Cemetery of Martyrs had been temporarily moved away, and the whole road looked particularly clean and spacious. The road near the construction site was paved with red carpets, breaking the tranquility of the entire Cemetery of Martyrs. On the tree trunks and buildings next to it, there were all kinds of slogans welcoming the arrival of the leaders, making the whole construction site as if it were a festival. Liu Lihai's job was to assist Ma Xianli in welcoming the reporters from all sides. For him, this job was all too familiar. But for Ma Xianli, he always had a feeling that he was powerless. Fortunately, Liu Lihai was there. Although the boy was arrogant, he was reliable. And as long as he was willing to put down his airs, Liu Lihai would be very cooperative with him. Ma Xianli knew this in his heart.
Liu Lihai saw Secretary-General Meng Anda among the many leaders. Secretary-General Meng obviously saw him too, but they didn't speak except for their eyes. When the groundbreaking ceremony officially began, Liu Lihai actually found Qin Hong, who was wearing a well-ironed suit and a fiery red tie, looking very proud of himself. He appeared as the general investor of this project. The moment he saw him, Liu Lihai understood what the series of nude photos was about. It turned out that Qin Hong and Shi Zhilin had been working together. What he had been guessing was actually a trap set up by Shi Zhilin, and Qin Hong completed it for him behind the scenes. He really didn't expect that Shi Zhilin would be so ruthless. He used a person who was not in the officialdom to collect evidence about Gong Daojin and Liu Shouwang, and let them fall into his trap.
It seemed that Qin Hong had been in Lin County all the time. Qin Hong deliberately made it impossible for Liu Lihai to find him, and also deliberately created a false impression that he was not in Lin County. He was still fooled by Shi Zhilin and Qin Hong. At this time, Liu Lihai's mood suddenly became strangely complicated.
When Qin Hong enthusiastically praised the spirit of the martyrs, when he said that he must make the Martyrs' Cemetery in Lin County into a first-class cemetery to commemorate those martyrs who were buried underground, he actually had tears in his eyes. Countless flashes were aimed at him at this moment, and the tearful photo was frozen at this moment. His performance even stole the limelight from Shi Zhilin, a classmate who had been looked down upon by Liu Lihai. He really didn't expect that there would be such a day, and that there would be such a stunning performance.
Liu Lihai couldn't sit still anymore. He got up and left the scene, but he felt that Secretary General Meng's eyes had been on him. He didn't know how Secretary General Meng knew him. However, he was in no mood to think about it.
Liu Lihai returned to the office and drafted a resignation application. He wanted to leave. He had to leave. When he couldn't change the situation in Lin County, his only choice was to leave. After he finished writing the resignation application, he went to Gong Yue's house.
Fang Ziye and Gong Yue were sorting out their things. They had decided to buy the house. Gong Yue wanted to go to the provincial capital, buy a smaller house there, and find a job to support her and her mother. Facing the mess in Gong Yue's house, Liu Lihai didn't say anything. He just joined them in sorting out. When Fang Yezi went to cook, Gong Yue asked him, "Where's Sister Xiaomu? Why haven't I seen her? "
Liu Lihai didn't want to tell Gong Yue about his relationship with Sun Xiaomu. Sun Xiaomu hadn't replied to him. In his opinion, Sun Xiaomu had already made up her mind to leave. He and Sun Xiaomu still hadn't withstood the test of love. Their love was far inferior to Gong Yue's and Chaozi's.
Liu Lihai didn't answer Gong Yue's question. Instead, he told Gong Yue, "I've already written my resignation application. When you leave Lin County, I'll leave too."
"Why?" Gong Yue looked at Liu Lihai in surprise and asked.
"I'm tired of it. I want to change my job." Liu Lihai deliberately made himself look more relaxed. However, the more he acted like this, the more uncomfortable Gong Yue felt. She vaguely understood that Liu Lihai's departure must have something to do with her family. However, she didn't ask anything else. She and Liu Lihai tidied up the things in the house.
When it was almost time to eat, Gong Yue went to the bathroom. She called Sun Xiaomu in the bathroom. Sun Xiaomu picked up her call after one ring. Sun Xiaomu asked in surprise, "Little Yue, where are you? How are you? "
Gong Yue didn't have time to answer Sun Xiaomu's question. Instead, she said eagerly, "Sister Xiaomu, come to Lin County quickly. Brother Liu is going to resign. It's all my dad and Chaozi's fault. If it weren't for them, Brother Liu definitely wouldn't have lost the election, and he definitely wouldn't have resigned. Sister Xiaomu, come quickly and help Brother Liu. I won't talk to you anymore. He's at my house. "After that, she hung up the phone without waiting for Sun Xiaomu to speak.
