Chapter 205: Aftermath (Part 2)



Huo Qianli held the wine glass and said seriously: "Leader, I want to work in Qianfu Town for another two years."

The leader paused, then naturally put the tripe back into the bowl, coated it with sesame oil and garlic paste, put it into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it, and said with a smile: "It's a bit overcooked."

Then, he picked up a piece of paper, wiped the corners of his mouth, and looked at Huo Qianli, "Tell me the reason."

Huo Qianli said in a deep voice: "During the time I was down there, my main focus was on how to complete the tasks assigned by the organization, but I also paid attention to the situation in Hushan Village. The current Hushan Village and Industrial Park are actually no longer worthy of their names."

"The development momentum of Hushan Village has basically come to a complete standstill. Now, this benchmark for poverty alleviation and prosperity has actually become just an empty shell. In five years, the cooperative has existed in name only, and the amount of dividends has been declining year by year. Although the villagers have not fallen back into poverty, there is not much difference between them and other ordinary villages in Dongjiang County, not to mention those successful villages in the province that were once compared with it."

He sighed, "What's left of Hushan Village now is just a name."

The leader listened silently and said, "Your thinking is wrong."

Huo Qianli said: "Please enlighten me, leader."

"The burdens you shoulder are different, and the roles you play are also different. Different positions require different responses."

He looked at Huo Qianli and said, "I also started from a township and worked as a county official. I was in charge of that county, but its development is not that good now. So what should I do?"

Huo Qianli seemed to be thinking about something.

The leader tapped the table gently. "I can't go back to be that county official, right? But can I use my current authority reasonably and legally to try to select a suitable chief official for that place?"

He raised his glass and said, "You want to do good for Hushan Village and are willing to stay there for a while. That's great. It's the spirit of dedication that our organization has always advocated. But you have grown up and can play a greater role in a higher position. Qianli, you can't stay in Hushan Village forever!"

Huo Qianli held the wine glass with both hands, clinked it with his own, then tilted his head back and drank it all. The burning sensation from his lips and teeth to his chest and abdomen led to a satisfying sip.

He spoke again: "Leader, I already have a plan."

The leader saw the determination in his eyes and said slowly, "Two years. Two years at most. Within two years, I should still be in the Organization Department."

Huo Qianli nodded, "That should be enough."

The leader picked up the clapper and shook his head speechlessly, "I don't know how I can stand your temper!"

"The leader is magnanimous and has a great character!" Huo Qianli flattered with a smile.

The leader rolled his eyes at him and said, "Okay, you can do some work, but forget about your ability to flatter. You won't even get a rank in that building."

The leader thought about it and took the initiative to pick up the bottle.

Huo Qianli quickly said: "Leader, I'll do it."

"Get out of the way!"

The leader waved his hand, filled Huo Qianli's glass, then poured himself one, raised his glass, looked at Huo Qianli, and said solemnly: "Comrade Huo Qianli."

Huo Qianli quickly raised his glass.

"Make Qianfu Town Industrial Park and Hushan Village a true model of rural reform! Give an account to the local people and give an account to your own youth."

"Don't worry, leader!"

“Bless you!”

“Thank you, leader!”

.......

On Monday, Huo Qianli drove back to Qianfu Town, rubbed his sore waist, took out two large suitcases from the trunk and went upstairs.

On this day, he did not do anything big right away. He simply arranged some daily activities and drove to Dongjiang County around five o'clock in the afternoon.

The road is much better now than before, and it only takes about an hour and fifteen minutes to drive to Dongjiang County.

By the time Huo Qianli drove the car to the gate of the county party committee, it was just 6:20.

After a phone call, Guo Haoran came out of the county party committee, opened the car door and got in.

Huo Qianli smiled and said, "Secretary Guo, where are we going now?"

As the saying goes, one's aura changes with the place he lives. After being the top leader for a year or two, Guo Haoran's aura is now much calmer and more generous than when he was the deputy secretary of the Dongjiang County Party Committee. He smiled calmly and said, "Dongjiang Hotel."

The car drove into the hotel's open-air parking lot, and the two walked out. The moment the receptionist standing at the door saw Guo Haoran, he immediately rushed over and stretched out his hands to take the things in the leader's hands, but found that the leader and his "secretary" were empty-handed, so he could only greet respectfully, "Secretary Guo, hello."

Guo Haoran smiled slightly as a return gesture and walked in.

Just after they walked a few steps into the lobby, the lobby manager rushed over, greeted them warmly, and escorted them to the elevator.

Until the elevator door closed, Guo Haoran gave Huo Qianli a bitter smile.

Huo Qianli smiled and said, "Normal."

The two did not go to the Chinese restaurant room, but went to a guest room on the sixth floor and knocked on the door.

The door opened and a familiar figure came into Huo Qianli's sight.

Xiao Yao opened his arms exaggeratedly, "Dangdangdang! Are you surprised or not?"

Huo Qianli walked up to him with a smile, hugged him, and then let Guo Haoran into the house.

After they sat down, Xiao Yao raised his eyebrows and said, "Old Huo, you are so boring now. It's too dull for such a surprising occasion. If you don't shed a few tears, at least scream a few times!"

Huo Qianli smiled and said, "Do you think Senior Haoran transferred you here without communicating with me?"

"Oh, you have calculated everything. How boring!" Xiao Yao sighed.
