Rebirth in officialdom and rising to the top

After Huang Dalong left, Liu Hong lowered his voice and asked tentatively:

"Mayor, are you dissatisfied with the food standards in our canteen?"

Chen Wangyang was eating his meal slowly and said nonchalantly:

"Why, did you see all this?"

Liu Hong's expression changed, and he thought that was indeed the case:

It seems that our new mayor can't get rid of the common problem of young people, that is, he finds it unpleasant and unreasonable wherever he looks...

Thinking of this, Liu Hong quickly said:

"Mayor, these standards were set when Sun Qingshan was in office. If you think it is unreasonable, then I will ask Huang Dalong to correct it immediately. Don't be too angry!"

Haha, before he said anything, Liu Hong started to rush to shirk responsibility. Isn't this because there is no 300 taels of silver in this place?

Knowing that Sun Qingshan was definitely doomed, he just put all the blame on others so that he could get away, right?

It's not that easy!

However, Chen Wangyang felt that his footing was not stable at the moment, and he had not yet figured out Secretary Song's plan of the Discipline Inspection Commission, so he decided to stay put for the time being and said with a smile:

"Director Liu, you don't need to ask me about such trivial matters from now on. You can handle it yourself!"

Speaking of this, Chen Wangyang suddenly changed the subject:

"By the way, I heard that Wang Lihu, director of our town's Poverty Alleviation Office, took leave today and didn't come to work. Director Liu, you should know the reason, right?"

As the saying goes, what is good at the top will be worse at the bottom.

Chen Wangyang knows better than anyone how much his eldest brother Ye Siqi attaches great importance to poverty alleviation work.

Therefore, he naturally made poverty alleviation the focus of his work after taking office.

As a result, on his first day in office, Wang Lihu, the director of the Qingyun Town Poverty Alleviation Office, happened to take a leave of absence. He even missed important meetings such as the town cadre meeting?

Isn't this strange?

Once there are too many coincidences, it is definitely not a coincidence, but someone did it deliberately.

Hearing Wang Lihu's name, Liu Hong's heart skipped a beat:

It’s broken~ I’m really afraid of what will happen, today I am really having a bad time!

That Wang Lihu is also a coward. If you can hide today, how can you hide for the rest of your life?

Thinking of this, Liu Hong said hesitantly:

"Well, Mayor, Director Wang took this leave last week. As for the reason why he took leave, I really don't know..."

Chen Wangyang looked directly into Liu Hong's eyes and said:

"Director Liu, you really don't know?"

Liu Hong's eyes evaded in panic, but he still insisted:

"Mayor, first of all, I'm not very familiar with Director Wang, and secondly, Director Wang's request for leave didn't go through me, so I really don't know. Please believe me!"

Liu Hong's evasive eyes still couldn't escape Chen Wangyang's eyes, but he did not continue to ask:

"Okay, I got it, I'm done eating, you eat slowly!"

Looking at Chen Wangyang's back as he left the cafeteria, Liu Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he also lost his appetite for food.

Looking at the almost untouched food in front of him, Liu Hong wiped the sweat on his forehead and sighed quietly:

Alas, meeting such a new master, I'm afraid I won't have a good life in the future...

Just when Liu Hong was about to pack up the dishes and leave the canteen, a loud voice sounded behind him:

"Hey, isn't this Director Liu? It's better to come early than to come by chance. It's just right. I have something to talk to you about!"

Liu Hong's body froze in place. After a while, he turned around and gave the speaker a rather ugly smile with a sad face:

"Mayor Luan, why don't you eat first, and then I'll go find you in your office after dinner?"

The Mayor Luan Liu Hong mentioned was a middle-aged man with a height of 1.9 meters, a strong build and dark skin. He was Luan Hongping, the deputy mayor of Qingyun Town Government in charge of animal husbandry, forestry and water conservancy.

Although he is the deputy mayor in name, Luan Hongping, who has been under the strong suppression of the former mayor Sun Qingshan, is actually a marginalized person with almost no real power and sense of existence.

Apart from anything else, Luan Hongping, who was transferred from the military to a cadre, is already in his second year in the Qingyun Town Government where he transferred to, and now he doesn't even have a car for official use!

In fact, Luan Hongping, who has always been pragmatic, does not care about the ostentation that official cars bring to him, but as the deputy mayor in charge of forestry and water conservancy, he must often visit various villages in Qingyun Town for inspections and surveys, and there is no official car. It's so inconvenient.

So every time he met Liu Hong, director of the town government office, he would talk to Liu Hong about this matter.

This chat lasted for anywhere from half an hour to as long as possible. When Liu Hong saw him, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He was really scared.

In fact, Liu Hong himself was also very aggrieved:

Although Qingyun Town is indeed very poor and the government's budget is relatively tight, it is still worthy of Luan Hongping's official car.

But who told Luan Hongping to slap the table with Sun Qingshan at a government work meeting because of disagreements over work when he first took office?

From that day on, Sun Qingshan targeted Luan Hongping everywhere. Not letting Liu Hong match Luan Hongping's car was one of Sun Qingshan's various tricks that couldn't be more trivial -

I am obviously disgusted with you, Luan Hongping, what can you do to me?

Under such circumstances, what can Liu Hong, the nominal butler of the town government, do?

Luan Hongping smiled and showed his big white teeth. He reached out and grabbed Liu Hong's wrist and walked out. As he walked, he said:

"Director Liu, you avoid me every time. I finally ran into you this time. Do you think I will let you go? Let's go and have a chat in my office!"

Liu Hong, who is only 1.7 meters tall and weighs less than [-], is like a frail little chicken under the hands of the tall Luan Hongping. How can he escape from Luan Hongping's drag?

So 3 minutes later, Liu Hong appeared on the sofa in Luan Hongping's office with a helpless look on his face, listening to Luan Hongping's machine gun-like thoughts in the wind, and thinking in his heart without tears:

Mayor Luan looks tall and thick. How come his mouth is more broken than the seven aunts and eight aunts in my family put together?

I, Liu Hong, really forgot to read the almanac when I went out today. I just saw away the moody Mayor Chen, and here comes the even more troubled Mayor Luan...

Half an hour later, Luan Hongping seemed to have finally vented his dissatisfaction. He stopped verbally bombarding Liu Hong, picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip of tea:

"In short, as long as you don't solve the problem of official cars for me today, you, Director Liu, will not be able to find a way to get to me, Luan Hongping!"

Liu Hong couldn't help but rolled his eyes, almost having a heart attack:

What a sin...
