Special forces soldier demobilization: Starting from the county government compound, a meteoric rise

On a late autumn afternoon, an official document from the Organization Department of the Jiangnan Provincial Committee quietly landed on the desks of various government agencies in the provincial capital.

That was another appointment and removal notice that would draw attention throughout the province's officialdom, following Liu Ming's.

[Xi Wanqing has been appointed Deputy Secretary of the Jiangnan Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League (at the deputy ministerial level). She is relieved of her post as Vice Mayor of Ningzhou Municipal People's Government (on temporary assignment).]

The economic miracle of Ningzhou not only made Liu Ming successful, but also added an unmissable highlight to the resume of Xi Wanqing, who was serving as the deputy mayor on temporary assignment.

As a direct participant and promoter of the "Ningzhou Model," her reforms in education, culture, and health, as well as her policies for attracting high-tech talent, which she spearheaded during her tenure, were repeatedly praised by Chu Tiankuo, the provincial party secretary, in public.

Upon completion of his temporary assignment, he was promoted ahead of schedule.

This is not only an affirmation of her personal abilities by the organization, but also a signal that the Xi family of Beijing has a deep presence in Jiangnan Province.

Immediately, discussions arose one after another in the provincial party committee compound.

"The Condor Heroes really did reunite in the provincial capital."

"One is the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, and the other is the Provincial Youth League Committee. Although they are both at the deputy director level, the power behind them is something that many high-ranking officials at the director level would have to be wary of."

"They've stirred up the waters in Ningzhou; now it's the provincial capital's turn."

……

The old city area of ​​the provincial capital.

An old-style courtyard house, quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, with two ancient locust trees swaying gently in the wind in front of the gate.

This is the accommodation that Old Lin arranged for Liu Ming in private.

At this moment, Liu Ming was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, flipping through a confidential file about the reform of provincial state-owned enterprises by the dim light of the street lamp.

Although he had only been working at the National Development and Reform Commission for a short time, the obstacles he faced were far greater than he had imagined.

"Luo Binwang's roots were too deep in those old state-owned enterprises."

Liu Ming closed the file, rubbed her throbbing temples, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.

Those so-called section chiefs and factory directors were outwardly respectful to him, but secretly they created obstacles at every turn in the audit and restructuring plan.

He needs a sharper pair of scissors to break the deadlock.

"Tap, tap, tap."

A very faint but rhythmic knocking sound suddenly broke the silence of the night.

Liu Ming didn't move, but her ears keenly caught the familiar breathing rhythm outside the door.

Calm, reserved, and with a touch of long-lost coolness.

He smiled.

He stood up, stepped forward, and pulled open the heavy, black lacquered wooden door.

Outside the door, a beautiful figure stood quietly in the cold wind.

Xi Wanqing was wearing a black business trench coat, her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and she had taken off the large sunglasses on her nose and was holding them in her hand.

Under the cover of night, her stunningly beautiful face was flushed with a faint pink hue from the cold, and her clear, cool eyes were brimming with longing that was about to overflow.

"You're back?"

Liu Ming looked at her, his voice soft, as if he were greeting a wife who had just come home from get off work.

"I'm back."

Xi Wanqing's voice was a little hoarse.

Without any hesitation, she stepped across the threshold and locked the door behind her.

The next second, she had already thrown herself into Liu Ming's arms like a swallow returning to its nest, her hands tightly wrapped around his waist.

Liu Ming's body stiffened slightly, then she hugged her tightly in return.

At that moment, all the conspiracies, power struggles, and schemes seemed to vanish into the cool night.

The familiar, delicate fragrance of orchids wafted from her body.

Inside the chest cavity were two hearts beating violently due to excitement.

"Did you miss me?"

Xi Wanqing buried her face in Liu Ming's chest and asked in a muffled voice.

What do you think?

Liu Ming stroked her soft, long hair, inhaling its cool fragrance, his eyes softening with tenderness.

"It only takes three hours by high-speed train from Ningzhou to the provincial capital. But these three months have felt like three years."

Xi Wanqing raised her head, her beautiful eyes misty with tears, stubborn yet passionate.

"Liu Ming, I've waited far too long for this day."

The two went into the inner room.

The heating in the room was on full blast, but it still couldn't quell the heat inside.

Xi Wanqing took off her trench coat, revealing a close-fitting knit sweater underneath that outlined her breathtaking curves.

She didn't sit down immediately, but walked to Liu Ming's desk and saw the file that had been flipped through and was a little wrinkled.

"The National Development and Reform Commission must be having a tough time, right?"

She pointed to several names circled in red on the file.

Liu Ming walked over, gently wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, and rested his chin on her shoulder.

"It's never easy to survive in a den of wolves. These old foxes treat the company seal like their own family heirloom; trying to touch it is more painful than cutting off their flesh."

"That's why I came."

Xi Wanqing turned around, hooked her arms around Liu Ming's neck, and stared intently at him.

"Although the Provincial Youth League Committee is a powerless department, you've forgotten that we hold the resources of the largest youth volunteer and youth entrepreneur association in the province."

"If you want to restructure state-owned enterprises, you need an injection of fresh blood."

"If you want to investigate the flow of funds, my classmates who work in the financial system will be the best informants."

Her tone exuded an undeniable air of dominance.

That young lady who once needed Liu Ming to shelter her from the wind and rain in Qingyun County.

After the trials of Ningzhou, she finally revealed the hidden brilliance of a political heir to a powerful family, a trait concealed beneath the surface.

"So, is Deputy Secretary Xi planning to be my logistics manager?" Liu Ming joked.

"No."

Xi Wanqing suddenly leaned closer, her luscious red lips less than a centimeter away from Liu Ming's, her breath as fragrant as orchids.

"I'm here to be your...blade."

Before she could finish speaking, she kissed his lips.

It was raw, passionate, and carried a sense of resolute determination.

All the longing erupted at this moment.

Outside the window, the moonlight was as clear as if it had been washed.

Inside, a seductive atmosphere flowed under the dim yellow light.

The two moved from the desk to the sofa, and then from the sofa to the bedroom.

His clothes slipped off.

Driven by absolute trust and emotion, the passion of their long-awaited reunion almost melted them both.

Liu Ming felt the trembling of the body in her arms; it was the ultimate pleasure, a resonance of souls.

……

a long time.

The storm has subsided.

Xi Wanqing nestled in Liu Ming's arms like a lazy Persian cat.

Her skin had an ivory-like texture under the light, and her long hair was scattered messily on the pillow.

Her fingers gently caressed the hideous scars on Liu Ming's chest.

With each glide she made, her eyes softened a little more, and her heart ached a little more.

"There are a few more new wounds," she said softly, her voice filled with sorrow.

"Left behind at Phoenix Mountain." Liu Ming took her hand, kissed it, and said, "Those mercenaries were indeed quite capable."

"That old bastard Luo Binwang."

A fierce glint flashed in Xi Wanqing's eyes, and then she hugged Liu Ming tightly again.

She looked up and gazed into Liu Ming's deep, ocean-like eyes.

In this provincial capital filled with intrigue and shadows, she knew how heavy the blood feud this man carried.

He also knew what a quagmire he was facing, a place that devoured people without spitting out their bones.

"Liu Ming".

"Um?"

"You've got it."

Xi Wanqing snuggled closer to him, her voice soft yet carrying a firmness that could pierce the darkness.

"Back in Qingyun County and Ningzhou, you were always the one who stood in front of me, shielding me from the wind and rain."

"But this is the provincial capital, the place where I grew up."

"I know people here, and I know the rules of the game here."

She closed her eyes, feeling his heartbeat, and said, word by word:

"This time, it's my turn to protect you in the provincial capital."

Liu Ming didn't speak, but simply folded her arms together.

He stared at the ceiling.

The cold realm in his heart called "revenge" was completely melted at this moment.

he knows.

Starting today.

In this battle in the provincial capital, he was no longer fighting alone.

Because of his spear and his shield.

They have all assembled.

The grand show is about to begin.
