Chapter 53 County Magistrate's Fortress

Seeing that Li Dingshan changed the subject, Zhang Shuying's face was not as unhappy as she tidied up her wrinkled clothes, raised her orchids and pointed her hair on her forehead: "I haven't been back for a long time. I miss the mountains and rivers of my hometown very much, so I can stay for one night."

Xia Xiang thought to himself that Minister Zhang had a deep heart under his passionate appearance.

At around 11 o'clock, there were still 5 kilometers away from the county town. A row of cars was parked in front, with seven or eight cars, twenty or thirty people standing on the side of the road, and a large banner was raised high: "Warm welcome to Secretary Li!" Seeing this scene, Zhang Shuying glanced and said lightly: "The four teams in the county have arrived, and the ceremony is quite grand."

Li Dingshan's face was calm, and he couldn't tell what he thought about the grand welcome ceremony. Zhang Shuying looked at Xia Xiang inadvertently again. Seeing that he was also ignorant, she couldn't help but think in her heart that Li Dingshan had no experience in politics, but his relationship has always been in the Provincial Youth League Committee. He has long been a department-level cadre of the Provincial Youth League Committee. It is normal for her to be used to some welcome scenes. Xia Xiang is young, and judging from his resume, he has never had any official experience. He looks calm, which makes her have some more guesses.

Originally, he thought Li Dingshan was not easy to deal with, but he didn't expect that this young man was not easy to fool. Zhang Shuying remembered Shen Fuming's explanation before coming, and couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Deputy Secretary of the Ba County Party Committee, Shi Fortress, the county mayor, is 48 years old this year. His black face and tall figure are compared with Li Dingshan's elegant temperament, and he forms a sharp contrast with the martial arts and scholars. Shi Fortress has a thick voice, and he takes Zhang Shuying's hand forward, and a humble smile appears on his face: "Welcome Minister Zhang to Ba County to inspect work."

Then he hurried forward and held Li Dingshan's hand tightly with his hands, and said enthusiastically: "Secretary Li, you have been waiting for you. Since the old secretary retired from illness, the Ba County Party Committee and County Government have never had a backbone. Once you arrive, our hearts are at ease. Secretary Li, you should carry the burden as soon as possible and serve as a guide for us."

Li Dingshan felt the enthusiasm of Shi Fortress, but he felt no turmoil in his heart. Shi Fortress is 48 years old this year, 8 years older than him. After he retired from his position as the county party secretary, he had the most hope to take over as secretary and take a step forward. Unexpectedly, he emerged and became a secretary. It would be strange if Shi Fortress really welcomed him. I guess he hated him so much that he blocked his future. How could the 48-year-old county magistrate bets against the 40-year-old secretary? He is probably very boring to be a county magistrate in front of such a young secretary!

However, Li Dingshan did not dare to take it lightly. If Yishi Fortress thinks that there is no hope of promotion, he will go against him everywhere, secretly do something bad, and if he fights, he will go to retire after a lifetime. If he insists on causing some trouble for him, it will also cause him a headache. Therefore, the relationship between the two must be maintained in a reasonable tolerance.

As the top leader, Li Dingshan did not dare to be proud of the older Shi Fortress, and hurriedly said, "Thank you for your hard work in County Magistrate Shi. I am new to you and don't understand many situations. I will listen to your opinions more at that time. But I should introduce me to the specific situation of Ba County. I am ready to listen carefully."

The hands of the stone fortress were very strong and very powerful. He owed his body slightly and smiled: "Since Secretary Li has spoken, I must know everything and say everything."

The next step is just a formality. In such a short period of time, it is impossible to recognize all the people. The eleven members of the county party committee, except for one deputy secretary who did not attend the scene due to illness, all others were present, including the director of the National People's Congress and the chairman of the CPPCC. In short, it fully demonstrated the grand welcome of all the people of Ba County to Secretary Li Dingshan and Secretary Li. Everyone had a passionate smile on their faces, and even some staff members who were not at the front and maintained order on the side, as long as Secretary Li looked at them, they all had a humble smile.

At least the stability and unity on the surface are still very satisfying. Li Dingshan also smiled with satisfaction and appreciation, and kept waving to everyone about his hard work. In such occasions, everyone just gives each other face, says good things to say, and give the smiley face to give. If anyone has any opinions, he must put forward them in such a scene, he is a manifestation of political naivety.

Xia Xiang deliberately observed everyone's reactions. Except for the county magistrate Shi Fortress, executive deputy county magistrate Liu Shixuan and organization minister Huang Pengfei, the smiles of others all revealed a sense of congratulations. Of course, we cannot explain anything by this, just let him look at a few more people intentionally or unintentionally.

Because of Zhang Shuying's excessive enthusiasm along the way, Xia Xiang took good care of her when she was secretly paying attention to everyone. She especially noticed that she shook hands with the propaganda minister Du Shuanglin. Unlike when she shook hands with other county party committee members, she had to say a few words, but her hands were slightly touched and they separated. Although Du Shuanglin could be seen smiling, her smile flashed, and it was obvious that she could see the perfunctory meaning. When she mentioned her niece who worked in the county party committee propaganda department many times along the way, she couldn't help but make people think a lot.

The welcome banquet was arranged at the county party committee guesthouse, which is also the best hotel in Ba County. From beginning to end, Li Dingshan acted as if he was obedient and the guests were at will, and he would do whatever he arranged. He did not mention objections or guidance, which made the stone fortress, who had carefully arranged all this and felt extremely depressed, and he couldn't figure out what Li Dingshan's attitude was.

The old age of the county party committee guesthouse was beyond Xia Xiang's imagination. The walls were peeling off, the doors were exposed, and the ceiling fans hung on the roof were dirty and shaking, as if they would fall down and hit the head when they turned. The dining table and chairs were also unsatisfactory. The dining table was fine, covered with a layer of dining cloth, the chairs were all hard, and they were all injured, and none of them were as intact as before.

Li Dingshan frowned. No matter how poor the county is, he wouldn't be able to afford a few chairs. There were several big and small cars on the road just now, but when he was welcoming the air, he came here. Who would pretend to be poor for? What does it mean?

Shi Fortress also changed his face when he saw it and cursed: "What's wrong with that bear Cui Zhongqiang? Let him come over to see me."

Cui Zhongqiang is the director of the government office.

Li Dingshan waved his hand: "Forget it, now is not the time to hold the responsibility. If I were the only one to come today, it would be simpler and simpler. After all, it is all internal affairs within Ba County, and it can be solved by closing the door. But today we mainly welcome Minister Zhang to come to Ba County to guide the work. If it is too casual, it will not show the importance our Ba County attaches to the superiors. Fortunately, Minister Zhang is also from Ba County and can understand the economic situation of Ba County. Moreover, Minister Zhang is also easy-going and has been deliberately telling him not to be extravagant along the way. Is it, Minister Zhang?"

Zhang Shuying also knew that it was probably the problem of the two teams of Ba County. Although she was a little dissatisfied with Li Dingshan raising her to say something, it was reasonable. She went with the flow and said: "I just came to send Secretary Li to office on behalf of the municipal party committee, but there was no work to inspect, so Secretary Li should be the main focus. Since Secretary Li said that, don't stand, take a seat, take a seat."

Zhang Shuying was attending the seat, Li Dingshan was attending the seat, and Shi Fortress was appointed as the deputy. Other county party committee members took the seat according to the ranking, and no one would be confused. Xia Xiang was of course not qualified to attend the seat. He was busy for a while, and then stood aside, standing with a young man who had been around the Shi Fortress just now, who was obviously his secretary, waiting by the side.
