Chapter 183 Arrival
On Friday, I had a good drink with my colleagues in the office. On Saturday afternoon, Huo Qianli said goodbye to his family, hugged his wife and kissed his son, and drove away from home.

But instead of going straight to Hushan Village or Dongjiang County, he drove in the opposite direction to a farmhouse in the suburb of Ximen, Jincheng.

There, he met Guo Haoran and Gu Daqiang who also came here quietly.

The three of them sat in the room and talked in detail until the early hours of the morning.

The next day, Sunday, Dongjiang County held a cadre meeting.

On behalf of the Provincial Party Committee, the Executive Vice Minister of the Organization Department of the Jingcheng Municipal Party Committee announced the relevant appointment and dismissal decisions.

Comrade Guo Haoran, a member of the Dongjiang County Party Committee and a senior official;

Comrade Ye Laiwu was removed from the positions of senior officials, standing committee members, and committee members of Dongjiang County, and he was appointed otherwise.

In the evening, it is naturally a grand welcome dinner.

Huo Qianli, who was not present, was in the hotel, calmly looking at the lights outside the window.

His battlefield will start tomorrow.

The next day, Monday.

Early in the morning, the driver Guo Haoran brought from Sixi County next door drove Huo Qianli's car, carrying the head of the Organization Department of Dongjiang County Party Committee and Huo Qianli to Qianfu Town.

Thanks to the post-disaster joint construction, the road traffic conditions from Dongjiang County to Qianfu Town have also been qualitatively improved.

Needless to say, the provincial road was widened and leveled again, and the asphalt county road that was originally potholed was also repaired into a two-way, two-lane concrete road.

Still meandering, but no longer bumpy.

The car was driving smoothly, Huo Qianli looked at both sides of the road, the original low and dilapidated clay houses almost disappeared, replaced by two-story or three-story buildings.

These buildings are all the same, with gray and white concrete walls exposed on both sides, some with white painted slogans, tacky tiles on the front, and anti-theft fences. In the eyes of artists or architects, they are simply too vulgar. , but for government officials like Huo Qianli, this means a huge improvement in the living standards of ordinary people.

An hour later, the car drove smoothly into the yard of the Qianfu Town Committee and Town Government.

Huo Qianli opened the door and got off the car, stood on the once familiar empty dam, looked at the cars that were parked full, and walked towards the office building.

Fifteen minutes later, another cadre meeting was held in Qianfu Town. Compared with yesterday's meeting, the scale was smaller and the level was lower, but Huo Qianli was much more nervous.

His gaze scanned the people below. In five years, many new faces may appear at the county-wide cadre meeting, but for the grassroots towns, most of them are still acquaintances.

Qin Shan, who gained fame by virtue of his outstanding achievements in Hushan Village, was exceptionally promoted just like Huo Qianli. He chose to stay in the township, and he succeeded in being the mayor of Qianfu Town last year;

Wang An'an, limited by his age, perhaps also limited by political resources, has never succeeded in taking that crucial step, and is still the executive deputy mayor of Qianfu Town;

Wang Wei has also become the deputy director of the party and government office in charge of the party construction group.

There was also Lao Liu who picked him up when he first came to Qianfu Town, and his qualifications have also reached the position of director of the Health and Family Planning Office.

At the meeting, Minister Chen of the Organization Department of the Dongjiang County Party Committee announced on behalf of the county Party committee:
Comrade Huo Qianli served as a member and secretary of the Qianfu Town Committee and concurrently as the director of the Dongjiang County Industrial Park Management Committee.

Comrade Nan Jiayu was removed from the positions of senior officials and committee members of Qianfu Town, and the director of Dongjiang County Industrial Park Management Committee.

Nan Jiayu did not attend the meeting due to personal reasons.

At the end of the meeting, Huo Qianli greeted everyone one by one.

Relying on his familiarity with the crowd and his previous fame in Qianfu Town, he firmly controlled the whole scene.

The breeze of the Eight Regulations blew away the original glitz in this building, and a simple lunch was arranged in the government cafeteria.

Several main leaders in the town accompanied Huo Qianli and Minister Chen, and eight of them sat around a round table in a private room.

The dishes were served quickly, with eight dishes and one soup, four meat and four vegetables, which did not exceed the standard.

Luo Xinghua, the office director in charge of Zhang Luo, took a mineral water bottle and said with a smile: "Secretary Huo, Minister Chen, we don't have to entertain wine with the eight regulations now, but on this occasion, we still have to be more or less serious, sorry Leader, how about trying the grain wine brewed by my friend's own winery?"

Huo Qianli and the leader looked at each other, Huo Qianli said with a smile: "Minister Chen, come here, let's have a look? There are not many, and there is still work in the afternoon."

After Huo Qianli said that, Minister Chen couldn't refuse, so he nodded.

"Leader, don't worry, just one cup."

After speaking, the waiter took a tray and brought eight two-two cups.

Minister Chen raised his eyebrows. From the corner of his eye, he saw that Huo Qianli didn't seem to respond, so he didn't express his opinion.

After pouring the wine, Huo Qianli took the initiative to pick up the glass, "For the first glass of wine, let's respect Minister Chen and thank him for supporting our work in Qianfu Town."

Everyone responded in unison, the glass was touched crisply, and the wine flowed down the lips and into the throat.

Huo Qianli smiled, "Director Luo, your friend's winery is of a good standard, and you can taste Wuliangye."

Director Luo nodded approvingly, "Is that so? Everyone says so! I'll buy some for the two leaders later."

Huo Qianli waved his hand, "I don't drink much, so I don't bother you anymore. Come, come, let's eat vegetables!"

After eating for a few minutes and taking two more sips, Director Luo turned his head to greet a young waiter, and ordered a table, "These dishes are cold, hurry up and warm them up."

The waiter quickly complied, and within a few minutes, several steaming plates were served.

The dishes inside have changed.

Huo Qianli paused with his chopsticks and glanced at him.

Director Luo quickly put on a serious face, turned his head and reprimanded the waiter, "What's wrong with you? The last dish can be wrong!!"

The young waitress lowered her head, twisted her clothes with her fingers and dared not make a sound.

Director Luo accompanied him with a smile, "Secretary Huo, Minister Chen, the newcomers are not familiar with the business, so this dish is also served, how about we make do with it?"

Huo Qianli smiled meaningfully, "Okay, don't embarrass a little girl, that's all."

Minister Chen glanced quietly at Huo Qianli, and didn't object.

After eating for a while, Director Luo did the same thing, and when he was about to reheat some hot dishes, Huo Qianli stopped him, "It's almost done, and I'm full."

After a brief lunch, Huo Qianli will accompany Minister Chen to see him off, nod to the driver, and ask him to drive the car back to Jincheng later.

Watching them go, Huo Qianli came to the assigned dormitory accompanied by Wang An'an himself.

Knowing that the new secretary is coming in advance, the best room in the entire family courtyard has been cleaned and refurbished long ago.

Sheets, quilt covers, sofa tables and chairs, pots and pans are all brand new and clean.

As for whether the original things were moved or what happened, no one cared or asked.

Entering the room, Huo Qianli took over the big suitcase that Wang Ping'an had to help carry up, and said with a smile: "This is your territory, I won't let you drink tea!"

The intent to see off the guests was obvious, but Wang Ping'an suddenly took a step forward and closed the door with his right hand.

With a click, the door cut off the space, and the atmosphere of privacy rose instantly.

Huo Qianli was puzzled, "What's the matter?"

"Brother Huo, bah!" Wang Ping'an slapped himself directly and lowered his voice, "Secretary Huo, this is not my territory, but it is someone else's territory. Be careful."

Huo Qianli frowned, "Sit down and talk."

At this moment, Wang Ping'an shook his head again, "You will know when you see it, anyway, remember it anyway, be careful."

After speaking, Wang Ping'an opened the door and retreated.

As the door was closed again, Huo Qianli really frowned this time, sitting on the sofa, rubbing his fingers unconsciously.

After thinking for a while, he took out his mobile phone and prepared for Jiang Qingyue to make a call, to see what constructive suggestions his wife, who has always been able to see through obstacles at a glance, would have. Before pressing the dial button, he seemed to suddenly think of something , looked around the room, thought for a while, and then continued to dial out.

"Hey, are you resting?"

"Well, here I am, just after a meeting and lunch."

"I don't have much work today, so I'll take care of my personal affairs first, and start working tomorrow."

"Don't worry, this is my old site, no one can afford to make trouble."

"Okay, I'll hang up first, take care of yourself."

After saying a few words, he got up and started packing his luggage.

At 05:30 in the evening, a group of people walked out of the gate of the town government.

At noon, it was a simple working lunch, and in the evening was a formal dinner to welcome the new secretary.

This is something that cannot be avoided anywhere, so Huo Qianli did not refuse. Accompanied by the main leaders of Qianfu Town, he walked to the highest-grade restaurant in Qianfu Town.

There, he will step into the muddy water of Qianfu Town for the first time.
