Li Xiuyuan chatted with Zhang Yaozong for a few words and then let him go. Watching Zhang Yaozong's departing back, Li Xiuyuan knew that normal attempts to win him over were useless when dealing with people like Zhang Yaozong. A good guy doesn't offend anyone.
I have to go back and give him a strong dose of medicine.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, after get off work in the central town, the week ended and a two-day weekend arrived. Li Xiuyuan called Wang Zhitao and drove back to the county town. He had not been home for a week, so he must go back to visit on the weekend.
I had dinner with my father on Friday night. On Saturday, Li Boyang called and said he wanted to have dinner together, and Li Xiuyuan agreed.
On Saturday night, Li Boyang, Yang Shaoshou, Wang Zhitao, and Huang Wei all came to the party. They talked more about their work situation. After Li Boyang officially took over as the county magistrate's secretary, he was very busy for a week.
Moreover, after Li Xiuyuan left, everyone in the government office felt Director Pang's dominance. Director Pang's dominance did not lie in directly intervening in other people's affairs, but in quietly beginning to highlight his presence.
By leveraging some small forces, he exerted his power and began to slowly influence the entire government.
This change was not too obvious or drastic, but it allowed Pang Zhifeng to slowly regain the power in his hands. Everyone began to form a habit and would proactively report to Pang Zhifeng on some matters.
On Sunday noon, Li Xiuyuan invited Shao Zhixing and Zhang Juncai to have lunch together, and also brought Li Boyang along. Although Li Boyang had not yet reached the deputy section level, he was almost there. In addition, as the county magistrate's secretary, Li Boyang was qualified for this small circle.
At the dinner, Shao Zhixing and Zhang Juncai also gave Li Boyang face. After seeing how respectful Li Boyang was to Li Xiuyuan, they looked down on Li Xiuyuan even more.
This was also the purpose of Li Xiuyuan bringing Li Boyang here. He had to let Shao Zhixing and Zhang Juncai know that although he had left the county government office, he still maintained influence on the government office.
He has maintained his influence over the county magistrate.
When the drinking party ended, Shao Zhixing and Zhang Juncai took Li Xiuyuan's hand and said, "Xiuyuan, it's not easy for you to go to the central town alone, and it's also difficult to gain a foothold. If you need any support, just tell us. Don't hesitate."
"Haha, when I need my two brothers, I will definitely not be polite." Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.
After watching Shao Zhixing and Zhang Juncai leave, Li Xiuyuan called Wang Zhitao directly and asked him to come over. He planned to go back to the central town directly.
After hanging up the phone, Li Xiuyuan and Li Boyang stood at the entrance of the hotel, smoking and chatting while waiting for Wang Zhitao to come.
Soon, Wang Zhitao came over, greeted Li Boyang and called him Brother Li. He did not ask why he was not invited to the lunch party. After getting in the car, he followed Li Xiuyuan's arrangements, drove Li Boyang back first, and then drove back to the central town with Li Xiuyuan.
Just as Li Xiuyuan set out to return to the central town, Zhang Yucai returned home breathlessly.
"Dad? What happened? Why did you run so fast?" Zhang Zhihao was packing things in the yard. When he saw his father pushing the door in hurriedly, he asked in surprise.
Today is the weekend, and he brought his family back from the city to spend time with his father.
"Where is Qingqing?" Zhang Yucai asked directly.
"It's upstairs, what's wrong?" Zhang Zhihao asked even more confusedly. Their family lived quite well in the town. A few years ago, they built a small second-floor house for their own use.
