Iron Bull Legend

In the early morning, Tie Niu and Xu Wu were chatting, talking about the happy past when they were together and reminiscing about the happy days of the past.

"Okay, Tie Niu, I won't say too much to you. Things over there have basically settled down. To be honest, I came to Yangcheng to avoid the pressure from above. I was still nervous tonight." Xu Wu smiled and suggested saying goodbye to Tie Niu.

"Fifth brother, let's have breakfast together later. You didn't eat anything last night and just drank with that bastard Wang Ping. Just wait and see how I'll deal with him later." Tie Niu invited with a grin.

"Goodbye, Wang Ping is very good and suits my taste. He is a man of character. If you train him well, he will be a great help to you in the future. I won't eat. I will just have a bite on the plane. Otherwise, I might be criticized when I return to the capital."

"If that's the case, I won't keep you here. I'm going back to Beijing in a few days. I haven't met my sister-in-law yet? I don't know what she likes."

"Haha, you kid should prepare more things. Although your sister-in-law is not a materialistic person, who doesn't like good things, don't you think?" Xu Wu's eyes lit up immediately when he heard that Tie Niu was going to prepare a gift for his wife.

"Fifth brother, look at your character. How come you have become so materialistic? Is your family short of money again?" Tie Niu laughed and echoed Xu Wu's words.

"Alas, every family has its own problems. Your sister-in-law's family has to do this and that, and my dishonest brother-in-law really makes me worry."

"Okay, Fifth Brother, take this money back first. Let's not talk about other things. We don't need this money at all. Don't make any mistakes on this. My aunt is also in Beijing. If you need money, go to her. I will make arrangements with her." Tie Niu took out a check. There was 50 million on it.

"Thanks, brother. I have nothing else to say. However, I don't have the ability to pay you back now." Xu Wu scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

"Fifth brother, if it weren't for our identities, I would give you more. However, sometimes we have no choice. When you go back, change the checks into smaller amounts. Don't give it to you so readily all at once. People's desires are endless." Tie Niu couldn't say too much about other people's family affairs.

"Okay, I'm leaving. I'll hand over Wang Ping's ID as soon as possible." After saying this, Xu Wu went downstairs directly. There were already several cars waiting there.

Tie Niu saw Xu Wu off and went straight to the cafeteria. He hadn't been to the cafeteria for many days. He saw several people eating and chatting early in the morning. When they saw Tie Niu come in, they greeted him one by one and their voices became lower.

Tie Niu also felt that his arrival had made everyone more cautious, so he quickly finished his meal and strolled towards the municipal party committee compound next door. When he went upstairs, he saw Secretary Xiao Yuntian sitting at his desk smoking, his bloodshot eyes foreshadowing his hard work last night.

"Secretary Xiao, you didn't get any rest last night, did you? I made you worry again." Tie Niu walked over apologetically, his face full of concern.

"It's okay. It's such a big thing. Let me tell you, the two people in the province are not having a good time either. However, you don't know that the orders have been issued directly from above. No matter who wants to cause trouble, they will be severely punished and will not be tolerated. You also know that I can't help you with anything else. I can only do the logistics work for you. This is all I can do." Xiao Yuntian's voice was a little hoarse.

"Ah, it's great that the higher-ups have such a strong determination." Although Tie Niu did not speak to the leader, hearing such good news early in the morning was enough to make him happy for the whole day.

"Of course not. The person above has been alarmed. Don't you think that this commotion is so big? It has shaken the whole country. How can it be a small matter?"

"Yes, but after this time, our country will enter a new milestone and enter a fast-development track." Tie Niu thought about it and stated the results of his analysis.

"What do you mean? Is it because of one incident that will change the pattern of development?" Secretary Xiao Yuntian looked at Tie Niu in confusion. He really didn't understand where the young man in front of him came up with such an astonishing conclusion.

"Secretary Xiao, think about how much money we will intercept this time. Will these funds be quietly collected into the national treasury or squandered by local governments? It certainly won't happen. We have to do something with this huge sum of money. Do you have an estimate of the amount of funds in our entire province? Do you think such a huge amount of funds will be idle? Well, if it is not idle, we have to use it for development. You should hurry up and fight for it."

"Tie Niu, what you said really makes sense. This matter still needs to be approved by your municipal government and seek funding from above, so that we can ask for money legitimately."

"Secretary Xiao, you have been in Yangcheng for a while. This should be a way and opportunity for you to strive for political achievements. Our municipal government needs a lot of funds in many aspects, which cannot be met with this little money. Therefore, only if you apply for the funds back can you benefit both inside and outside. If I fight for it, it will be meaningless."

"You kid, aren't you just giving me credit? I know that this matter was caused by you, and you deserve to enjoy this fruit. You really gave up this political achievement, what can I say?"

"Don't say that. I'm still young. Besides, even if I take this certificate now, my work time and experience will not be conducive to my rapid development. It will do me more harm than good."

"Okay, let me say that I owe you a favor. Haha, you say I owe you too many favors, and it doesn't matter anymore, right?" Xiao Yuntian said with a big laugh.

"What's the matter with me owing something? With your support, I have the confidence to do things in the front and won't make mistakes. Secretary Xiao, this is my plan for our Yangcheng city after the new year. However, the plan is a bit big and the investment is a bit large, so don't scare you," Tie Niu said as he took out the plan for Yangcheng's next 20 years that he wrote a few nights ago.

"Okay, you spent so much time writing so much. It seems that you young people have a lot of knowledge in your heads and your thoughts are active. This is very good. I will take a look at it soon. By the way, you have to prepare for the people's congress after the new year. I will help you polish this one as a year-end summary and future plan. I believe that with what you have done, you will be able to remove the word "deputy" from your head and become a dignified mayor of Yangcheng."

"Thank you, I would have forgotten about it if you hadn't told me."

"You can't take this matter lightly. It concerns your political life and your plan. This is not just your personal matter. It is about the long-term development of Yangcheng and is closely related to your destiny." Secretary Xiao Yuntian's expression became serious at this time.

"Yes, Secretary Xiao, I will definitely take this matter seriously. To be honest, I have not been involved in politics at all during these years abroad. I just focused on my studies."

"Haha, this is also to recharge you. I will supervise this matter for you. I am still the director of the National People's Congress. I hope that some people will not ignore the overall situation for their own selfishness. If anyone dares to make trouble, I will take direct action."

"Secretary Xiao, after all, this represents the will of the people and we should not interfere forcibly. I think we should look for the reasons in myself. I will redouble my efforts to improve the appearance and development of Guangzhou." Tie Niu said with a wry smile. He didn't want to be accused of influencing public opinion.

"Tie Niu, this matter concerns the overall development of Yangcheng City and the development pattern of the entire province. It is not just your business. You must be prepared to face difficulties."

"Oh, I really haven't thought about it that much. I plan to take some investors to the Provincial Party School tomorrow. It's the best time before the New Year when everyone is here. I want to see if there are any good investment opportunities. It can also be regarded as a New Year's gift to cadres from all over the country."

"I heard Secretary Dakai talk about this matter. You have set an example for the provincial party committee and government in this matter. Development is not a matter for two people, but the joint efforts of all of us. I appreciate this very much. In a moment, I will say hello on behalf of the Yangcheng Municipal Party Committee and the Provincial Party Committee. We must not let anyone have any opinions and we must be polite before using force when doing things."

"Secretary Xiao, you are really thoughtful. I didn't think of this level. I am really too young and inexperienced." Tie Niu knew that at this time, his good impression of Secretary Xiao Yuntian rose to a higher level, which was support and help.

In some local governments, the mayor and the municipal party committee secretary must depend on each other and help each other, but also have different opinions and different voices, otherwise there will be problems.

Secretary Xiao Yuntian's actions were, on the one hand, due to orders from above to support Tie Niu's work and develop Yangcheng. On the other hand, it was also due to the current political landscape. Yangcheng's lagging development had already lagged behind the rest of the country, and it was necessary to rise to the challenge and achieve immediate results.

During this period, we must do well and stay at the forefront of reform. Otherwise, the leaders would not have brought Tie Niu, this trouble-making stick, to Yangcheng, into this dead and silent officialdom. We need to let Tie Niu muddy the water, and also be the catfish to get all the fattened fish moving.

“Tie Niu, actually, you just lack the experience of struggling in officialdom. Therefore, in officialdom, which is a place of fame and fortune, you must always remember to protect yourself. Otherwise, it is not uncommon for you to be used as a gun by others or made a scapegoat. This is the dark side of officialdom.” Secretary Xiao Yuntian lit a cigarette and smoked it. There was already a cloud of smoke in front of him.

"Well, I know about this matter. Thank you Secretary Xiao for your guidance. After all, I have been in the officialdom for less than a year, so how could I know the dark side of it." Tie Niu expressed his gratitude to Xiao Yuntian very sincerely for his guidance.

"Don't be polite with me. Sometimes you may not like some things in the officialdom, and you may be angry at the inaction of some colleagues. In fact, it's not that everyone doesn't want to do things. Sometimes the more you do, the more mistakes you make. As long as your mistakes are caught by someone with ulterior motives, they will be infinitely magnified. The higher the official position, the more cautious you are. Every step you take is like walking on thin ice, and you have to be cautious. So, you can understand why many people in the upper echelons are lying flat."

"Oh, but, Secretary Xiao, the current development situation really doesn't allow us to just lie down and do nothing. The clarion call for reform has been sounded, and the pace of progress has reached the breaking point. We must take action. You should know why the chief transferred me to Yangcheng during the game between the chief and the higher-ups. On the one hand, it was because he was dissatisfied with this place, and on the other hand, he wanted to use the coastal cities as a bridgehead for reform and opening up."

"Well, I know all this, and I believe that the intentions above are clear. That's why the two big bosses in our province let me go to protect your work. They also want to use this opportunity of reform to revitalize Yangcheng and even the entire province. This is everyone's common voice at the moment."

"Then, we must take advantage of this opportunity to mobilize. I want to recruit those foreign merchants with funds and capabilities as well as these people in China. Everyone will be in place by tonight. Tomorrow I will take everyone to the Provincial Party School. After all, the leaders trained by the Provincial Party School this time are all outstanding talents selected from the whole province. If they can benefit from this training and show their talents, the momentum of development will exceed our expectations."
