Li Rui hurriedly said, "Actually, even if you use an entire year to change all the poor counties in the city, it's enough to say that you've made outstanding contributions. I think you don't have to worry too much. "Song Chaoyang said," That's true. " Li Rui understood what he meant. Who wouldn't want to make political achievements in the shortest time possible? But the problem was that work like poverty alleviation was not something that could be achieved in a short period of time. Poverty alleviation was like treating illnesses. There was a saying, "You can get rid of illnesses as easily as reeling silk." What's more, poverty alleviation was even more difficult than treating illnesses? Intentionally trying to reassure him, he said, "Don't worry. Even if not all the poor counties can achieve results, at least Shuanghe County won't have a problem. As long as Shuanghe County has a big change under County Mayor Fang's leadership, this will be your achievement. "
In fact, Song Chaoyang also understood that while anything could be rushed, poverty alleviation and development work could not be rushed. For him, the poverty alleviation campaign had already started, or at least the momentum had already been built. This was completely in line with the intentions of the Provincial First Party Committee Secretary, Huang Xinnian. Next, the results were no longer the most important thing. It didn't even matter how many results were achieved. As long as there were some results that could be shown, his political achievements would not be able to escape. If he wanted to force more, it would be purely asking for trouble. In addition, he couldn't just focus on poverty alleviation. The development of a prefecture-level city could not only rely on poverty alleviation. It was time to do something in other areas.
As the saying went, "A new broom sweeps clean three fires." Ever since he took office, he had only burned the "poverty alleviation and development campaign." The fire was far from enough. He had to burn two more fires. Otherwise, how could he show off his abilities as the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee? Although almost half a year had passed and the stove would have cooled down if he burned it now, it was better than not burning it. If he didn't start the fire, he might be looked down upon by others and be mocked as "the new Secretary Song Chaoyang doesn't have the slightest ability."
Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that even though he had already gained a firm foothold in Qingyang City, he had not grasped the situation well and had unknowingly fallen into a disadvantageous position. Now, he could only try his best to catch up. He secretly sighed, as if he was making a vow, but also as if he was encouraging himself, saying: "New year, new atmosphere, new year, we must do something big and let Qingyang City, from top to bottom, have a new look!"
Li Rui followed suit and said, "Boss, don't worry. I'll be your lackey and be at your beck and call. I'll help you solve your problems and give you advice. I hope that you can supervise me so that I can make greater progress in the new year."
Song Chaoyang looked at him with gratification and said: "You've been doing well. From now on, continue to work hard. Oh, that's right, you'll be marrying Qingman at the beginning of the new year. En, from now on, you'll be the son-in-law of Governor Lu. You have to be stricter with yourself and learn from your father-in-law. Strive to reach his level one day, hehe. "
Li Rui smiled humbly and thought to himself that reaching his father-in-law's level might be a bit difficult. He didn't have that big of an ambition. In this life, if he could reach his boss's level, he would be satisfied. Moreover, the higher the position, the more tired it was. Not only was the body tired, but also the mind tired. What was the point of living like that if one's nerves were stretched taut all day? People should be content with what they had. They couldn't just blindly climb up. In the end, they didn't even know why they were climbing up. That would lose the meaning of life.
At night, before rushing to the restaurant where Li Ming and Guan Weiwei were gathering, Li Rui picked up Yang Peng.
Yang Peng was a bit nervous and said: "They're all big leaders. What if they look down on a small character like me?" Li Rui proudly said: "You were brought by me. Who would dare to look down on you?" Yang Peng laughed and said: "But I'm worried that I'll make a mistake. Won't that make you lose face?" Li Rui said: "It's fine. Haven't you participated in a drinking party before? When it's time to toast, toast. When it's time to joke, joke. Just act like normal. If you're really unsure, then listen more and speak less. These two friends are not bad. They're quite honest and have never looked down on anyone. You can put away your worries. "
He said it nicely, but the nervousness in Yang Peng's heart couldn't be removed. He thought to himself: F * ck your wife. I, Yang Peng, have lived for thirty years. The highest ranking official I've ever seen was my dad's old classmate, the Deputy Director of the Northern District Financial Branch. But tonight, the two people I'm seeing, one is the Mayor of the Southern District and the other is the Captain of the Traffic Police Branch. They're both County level leaders. How am I supposed to deal with such high ranking officials?
He stole a glance at Li Rui and saw that he had an indifferent look on his face, which gave him a sense of superiority. His heart skipped a beat. It seemed that this old classmate of his had successfully transformed from a small fry at the bottom to a big shot at the top. He was no longer the Li Rui of the past. Even though he still treated him as a good brother, even though he still liked Ding Yijing, and even though he didn't look any different from before, there was a qualitative change in him. This change even made him feel a little unfamiliar when facing him, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of oppression. Even the catchphrases like "f * ck your wife" that he used to casually scold were not easy to blurt out casually anymore. He really didn't know what to say, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad.
As Yang Peng was thinking about Li Rui's changes, Li Rui was also secretly thinking about him. He thought to himself: As the old saying goes, a good man needs three helpers. Especially in modern society, the era of single-handedly taking on the world has long passed. More attention is paid to teamwork and the cultivation of interest groups. No matter how well Yang Peng was doing in the future, he still needed someone to help him. Otherwise, there would be a problem like when he blackmailed Yang Xiaoyan — he actually didn't have a friend that he could completely trust to help him with this kind of thing. Instead, he had to find his relatives to help him. What's more, as he got higher and higher in the future, there would definitely be more and more public and private affairs that he had to deal with. It was impossible for him to do everything by himself. At this time, he would need a group of loyal confidants to help him. Where would this group of loyal confidants come from? If he didn't cultivate them, God would definitely not give them to him for free.
How should he cultivate them? It was very simple. He would start with close friends like his cousin Shi Dongpo and his classmate Yang Peng. He would gather them to his side and form a small group that would benefit together. If they wanted to maintain their own interests, they would first have to protect the interests of their leader. In this way, he would be able to help them improve together with him and make their lives more prosperous. At the same time, he would also be able to obtain the help of a team. During the American presidential election, there were several financial support teams behind the scenes. If he wanted to go further in the political arena, of course, he would need to form a similar team.
Yang Peng was stunned and said, "What do you think of Zhang Bing?" Li Rui said, "Is he useful?" Yang Peng said, "Isn't this guy with Li Zhichao?" Li Rui said, "I think he has the intention to rely on me. I just don't know if he is loyal enough." Yang Peng said, "Haven't you heard of that saying? There is no such thing as true loyalty in this world. Loyalty is because you don't give enough benefits." Li Rui smiled and said, "Then I'll find something for him to do? There are too few people around me that I can use. You are not in Qingyang, so I can't rely on you for everything. "Yang Peng asked," What do you want him to do? "Li Rui shook his head and said," I haven't thought about it yet. "
When Li Rui arrived at the restaurant's private room, he was shocked. Holy sh * t, the private room was filled with the sounds of birds chirping, peach blossoms and willow greens. Surprisingly, there were two beautiful women sitting at the table. When he looked closely, who else could it be but Lin Yali and Lin Yafei? Why were they here?
In the private room, Li Ming, Guan Weiwei, Zeng Hanlin and the Lin sisters were laughing and talking. When the five of them saw Li Rui arrive, they all stood up to welcome him. In an instant, ten pairs of eyes were fixed on Li Rui's face.
Yang Peng timidly followed behind Li Rui. Seeing him enter the room, everyone stood up to welcome him. His heart trembled as he once again silently felt the soft power of this old classmate of his.
Li Rui smiled and went forward to welcome them, saying, "Brothers, sister-in-law, Yafei, little brother has come late. Later on, I will punish myself by drinking three cups of wine. Please sit, please sit, such a big show of extravagance really makes me feel flattered, hehe. "
Guan Weiwei affectionately patted his shoulder and looked at Yang Peng, saying, "I was wondering, since you came so late, why didn't you bring a beauty? I didn't expect you to bring a handsome guy. What's this about? Have you changed your taste? Have you started to be gay? Haha. "
Lin Yali curled her lips and said, "Guan Weiwei, oh Guan Weiwei, look at what you are saying. Is this what an older brother should say? It's not that I want to criticize you, but out of everyone here, only you have the characteristics of a homosexual. You still have the nerve to criticize others? "Guan Weiwei asked curiously," What's this about? Why am I the only one with the characteristics of a homosexual? What characteristics does a homosexual have? "Lin Yali smiled and said," Because you are the ugliest, hehe. "Guan Weiwei was even more confused and laughed," What does being ugly have to do with being gay? " Lin Yali explained, "You are ugly, so no woman likes you, so you can only be gay." Guan Weiwei laughed and scolded, "Pooh! Sister-in-law, do you really not know or are you deliberately acting dumb with me? Don't you know, these days it is all handsome guys who are in the glass industry. Look at those big stars on TV, like Mao Ning or Li Hong, they are all handsome guys. "
