In name only: In the name of Zhao Mengsheng's son!

"Director Liu, it's me!"

"Alright, that's enough. Please leave, Mayor Yi!"

Liu Kun also hardened his stance, showing no mercy whatsoever! The key point is, giving face to this kind of person is useless; there's a reason they can't get promoted! Isn't it enough to just do your job well?

You, Yi Xuexi, have the personality of a provincial party secretary, but you're not destined to be one! Even Sha Ruijin wouldn't be so meddlesome! Basically, whatever you, Yi Xuexi, dislike, you want to interfere in? Anyone who knows you would think you're the acting mayor of Luzhou, but someone who doesn't would think you're part of an inspection team sent down from the central government!

Yi Xuexi looked bitter. He hadn't even said a few words before the hat weighed him down so much that his head was tilted to the side! He turned around and walked out. Liu Kun thought that this person had come to his senses and had returned to his office. Not long after, someone from the administration department came and said that Yi Xuexi had applied for an appointment to see Zhao Zhongxin!

"Holy shit, I really want to punch this bastard to death!"

Liu Kun couldn't take it anymore! "Who the hell is this person?" he said, turning directly to the administration department.

"Don't tell me about this 'Easy Learning' application to schedule an appointment with the provincial governor anymore!"

"Yes, Director Liu!"

Yi Xuexi had no choice but to report Zhong Jianjun's problem to one of the "iron triangle" members of the provincial party committee, and he had to deal with Zhong Jianjun, who was a combination of Hou Liangping and Zhao Ruilong from back then!

Seeing that no one had come to notify him of his appointment request, Yi Xuexi knew that Zhao Zhongxin was refusing to see him. But he didn't care. He just sat in the reception room of the provincial government office, his eyes fixed on the door! He was waiting to see when Zhao Zhongxin would come out!

Sure enough, Zhao Zhongxin got off work and went home. As soon as he stepped out of the door, Yi Xuexi's voice came from behind him. Zhao Zhongxin couldn't help but shake his head and stop. Yi Xuexi quickly walked over and was about to speak when Liu Kun blocked him. Liu Kun looked at him with an indifferent gaze, which made Yi Xuexi's scalp tingle.

Liu Kun has followed Zhao Zhongxin for many years and his aura is stronger than that of an average deputy minister. If he wanted, Zhao Zhongxin could immediately appoint him as a deputy minister. For so many years, he has been willing to follow Zhao Zhongxin because his grandfather and uncles told him that following Zhao Zhongxin was far better than being a local warlord.

The reason is simple: his grandfather and Zhao Mengsheng's grandfather were cousins, and his grandfather had been his grandfather's bodyguard for life. His second uncle and Zhao Mengsheng were cousins, so their blood ties were not close. But it was because he followed Zhao Mengsheng that he had a future!

As for himself? To Zhao Zhongxin, he was truly a distant cousin, as distant as could be. If he hadn't worked as Zhao Zhongxin's secretary, Zhao Zhongxin might not even recognize him when he came to the Zhao family for the New Year, not even able to recall his name! Therefore, Liu Kun, working for Zhao Zhongxin, never considered himself Zhao Zhongxin's cousin, only a subordinate. If Zhao Zhongxin called him "brother," he would call him "elder brother."

Therefore, it was Liu Kun's duty to settle things for the boss!

Yi Xuexi was startled by that look. Liu Kun came from a good family and had the appearance of a noble young master. He had also been by Zhao Zhongxin's side for many years. This pressure made Yi Xuexi speechless!

Seeing that Yi Xuexi remained silent, Zhao Zhongxin knew his brother had handled the situation well and strode out. After Zhao Zhongxin left, Liu Kun pointed at Yi Xuexi's face without any politeness, still without saying a word, but the warning was too obvious!

Seeing that Yi Xuexi was stunned, Liu Kun followed Zhao Zhongxin out. For a moment, everyone in the provincial government was astonished by Liu Kun's look. Liu Kun was usually all smiles, but who knew his eyes could be so fierce! Truly, a strong general has no weak soldiers under his command!

Li Dakang also saw that indifferent look in his eyes and felt somewhat powerless. He had looked at Li Kangjian in the same way in the car, but that beast Li Kangjian didn't care at all and lit the cigarette right in front of him! He looked at him with disdain!

Everyone else can successfully show off, so why do I always fail?! Dafeng Factory wanted to demolish its own factory, but Chen Yanshi stopped them. At the Standing Committee meeting, Qi Tongwei was criticized by Zhao Zhongxin for crying at a grave! Li Kangjian arrested his ex-wife, and he gave her a warning look, but Li Kangjian ignored him and even treated him like a jerk! At the first democratic life meeting, he wanted to kick Gao Yuliang, but Gao Yuliang said it was because he and Zhao Lichun had a romantic relationship! Damn it, I haven't succeeded in anything these past few years, except for that month after Zhao Zhongxin went to the Party School, when I was so happy!

Li Dakang couldn't help but think, "Zhao Zhongxin, you'd better hurry up and go on your business trip. My sword is itching for a fight!"

Li Dakang ignored Yi Xuexi. Personal relationship? Sorry, not really. Although Yi Xuexi had taken the blame for him back then, it was Wang Dalu who truly took the fall. Li Dakang was already being lenient by not kicking him while he was down! Li Dakang also knew that few people in Handong liked Yi Xuexi now. Helping someone like that would only drag him down too!

Li Dakang is all about being cautious! Like I said, he'd kick his wife aside for power. What is Yi Xuexi then? Just some nobody on the street!

Meanwhile, Zhong Jianjun was also furious that Yi Xuexi had been going to the provincial government to find Zhao Zhongxin in order to get back at him. He thought, "I'm not Zhao Lichun, I'm a decent person."

So Zhong Jianjun made a phone call to Sha Ruijin, the meaning of which was very clear: Yi Xuexi is a good comrade! He is currently the acting mayor, and I want to solve his acting problem. I heard that Luzhou is short of a top CPPCC member, isn't this perfect? ​​The acting mayor is the top leader of the municipal government, and so is the CPPCC member; they are both top leaders of the four sets of leadership!

Sha Ruijin agreed without even thinking. It was simple: Yi Xuexi approached him before he approached Zhao Zhongxin!

Then he called Tian Guofu, who had no objections and even wanted to give his full support, because Yi Xuexi was bothering him right now!

So at the provincial standing committee meeting three days later, apart from the military region political commissar and the provincial standing committee members abstaining, Yi Xuexi passed the vote unanimously. Sha Ruijin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Yi Xuexi hadn't been promoted to vice-ministerial level, otherwise it would have required approval from the central government!

Sha Ruijin even regretted why he had turned Yi Xuexi into a sword when he was dealing with the Zhao family gang. This sword wasn't very useful!

Previously, the provincial committee members were under pressure from Sha Ruijin, praising Yi Xuexi one by one, saying how diligent he was and how much he served the people. Now, it seems everyone is kicking him while he's down!

It's just that Gao Yuliang is no longer with the Hantong Provincial Party Committee; otherwise, Gao Yuliang would still be a kind person, but he might just have abstained from voting.

(This is the third chapter today, the one I was supposed to make up for. I'll finish writing it today, right now!)
