Chapter 200: Gratitude

Lu Fan knew well that one must have a heart of gratitude!

Before leaving, Lu Fan specially packed ten portions of cold noodles and a large pot of Du family chicken to bring to that glutton Wang Yujia. One must keep one's word.

After getting on the highway, Lu Fan dialed Wang Yujia's phone.

At this time, Wang Yujia had already returned to the capital. Just entering the house, she answered the phone and said, "Lu Fan, why did you suddenly call me?"

Lu Fan laughed, "I promised you before that I would bring you something delicious when I come to Chang'an. I just got on the highway, wait for me!"

"Ah? You really sent it? Du family chicken, cold noodles?"

"Why, don't you believe it? Do you still need to doubt my character? It's too heartbreaking!"

Wang Yujia thought for a while and said, "Alright, then I'll wait for you. I'll send you the location later."

After hanging up, Wang Yujia turned and left.

Grandfather Liu Guoqiang shouted from behind, "Yujia, where are you going? Dinner is ready soon, all things you love to eat!"

Wang Yujia didn't look back and said, "A friend sent me something from Ningyang. I'll go to Chang'an first and come back to accompany you in the evening!"

"This child!" Liu Guoqiang was a bit helpless and speechless, then dialed the secretary's phone directly, "Investigate Lu Fan from Ningyang for me!"

Half an hour later, Lu Fan's basic situation was placed on Liu Guoqiang's desk.

At 8:00 PM, Lu Fan found Wang Yujia according to the navigation. The Du family chicken in the pressure cooker was still hot.

Wang Yujia laughed, "Treating me so well, are you trying to chase me?"

Lu Fan looked her up and down and said with a smile, "Not my type, don't be narcissistic! I promised you; friends must keep their promises!"

Wang Yujia said angrily, "Is my figure not good?"

Lu Fan joked, "Besides being thin, what figure do you have?"

"Lu Fan, are you blind?"

"Haha, alright, I won't joke with you anymore. I have an appointment with a few friends, I have to go!"

"Must be a date with a great beauty, right?"

"Correct! Two great beauties, but they also have their husbands!"

"Liar, then I want to go too!"

Lu Fan shook his head and said, "Don't, I don't want to be misunderstood. Alright, the delicious food has been delivered to you, I have to go. I'll bring you more next time!"

After the car left, Wang Yujia stomped her feet and cursed secretly: This guy is really blind and doesn't know how to appreciate it. My figure is so perfect!

After taking the last flight back to the capital, Grandfather Liu Guoqiang had already sent a car to pick her up.

After returning home, Wang Yujia excitedly opened the pressure cooker and said to her grandfather, "Come and taste it, this is the best Du family chicken I have ever eaten!"

Liu Guoqiang asked, "Took a 'flying taxi', five or six hours back and forth, just to get this?"

"Grandpa, eat quickly, this was specially sent by a friend!"

"Alright, let me taste... Hmm, it is indeed very fragrant and flavorful. This friend of yours is not bad!"

"The person is not bad, but his vision is not very good! Grandpa, do you think I'm not beautiful? Is my figure bad?"

Unexpectedly, Grandpa said, "Beautiful is definitely no problem, after all, you have my genes. But as for the figure, you are skinny, you need to eat well!"

Wang Yujia received a double blow and said angrily, "You are the same as Lu Fan, your vision is outdated. I'm ignoring you!" Then she began to bury her head in "making chicken".

"Yujia, come back to the capital to work. Grandpa wants to accompany you every day."

"Grandpa, even if I come back, you are so busy, where do you have time to accompany me? I don't like the capital; it's full of some unknown playboys."

"Is it because of Lu Fan?"

Wang Yujia hurriedly explained, "What's that about? I've only met him four times, had one meal, and the words we said added up to no more than 100 sentences! It's mainly because I like Chang'an, I like the profound cultural atmosphere there, the food keeps the stomach and heart, eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, eight waters around Chang'an, and I like the straightforwardness, generosity, and unpretentiousness of the Qinchuan people even more. In the future, I will marry in Chang'an!"

After delivering the things, Lu Fan hurried to the Qinchuan Hotel.

Arriving at the private room, Wu Xiaohua, Zhao Sijie, Han Xinpu, and Li Ruoqin had already arrived and were chatting.

Wu Xiaohua laughed, "Lu Fan, is inviting us to dinner so grand? Let me guess, there must be good news, right?"

Han Xinpu asked, "Is the Deputy County Chief position settled?"

Lu Fan laughed, "Can't I invite you to dinner without good news? You are all my brothers and sisters!"

Wu Xiaohua teased, "Forget it, you must be excited and unable to bear it, and you have to keep a low profile in Ningyang, so you ran to Chang'an to show off to us, right!"

Lu Fan stopped pretending and said, "The Municipal Party Committee held a Standing Committee meeting today to study personnel issues. My matter is settled, right in Ningyang County! Thank you all for your care, love, and help all along! I won't say anything else, it's all in the wine. Come, I'll toast my brothers and sisters a glass!"

"Finally got what you wanted!" "Lu Fan, congratulations!" "Worth celebrating!" "Lu Fan, you are really amazing!"...

After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more harmonious and lively.

Everyone stood up one after another to toast Lu Fan, congratulating him on his promotion. What a Deputy County Chief in his twenties means, everyone present knew very well. Even if they had family or background, they dared not assert that they would definitely be able to surpass Lu Fan in the future! At this moment, they truly communicated with Lu Fan on an equal footing.

Early the next morning, Lu Fan went to the mall to handle a shopping card.

Afterwards, he brought this heart to Han Guishan's house.

After gently knocking on the doorbell, Lu Fan walked into the room and said, "Uncle Han, my Deputy County Chief position has passed! Thank you for your consistent care and care for me over the years. Without your strong support, I wouldn't have today's achievements!"

Han Guishan laughed, "Good thing! Sit down and talk!"

After the two sat down, Lu Fan said, "There was a small accident in the middle, someone reported me, but it didn't affect the inspection."

Han Guishan frowned and said, "It's normal for such a situation to appear in personnel adjustments. If you are delayed, others will have a chance. However, to forge iron, one must be strong oneself. The clear will clear themselves, and the turbid will be turbid! Lu Fan, it's not easy for you to get to where you are now. I have a piece of advice: reject corruption and prevent change, be spotless, and only then can you reach a higher position and achieve greater achievements in the future!"

Lu Fan said firmly, "Thank you for your teaching. I will definitely keep it in mind, work hard to improve myself in my work, strive to make greater achievements, and not live up to your expectations!"

After speaking, Lu Fan handed the carefully prepared shopping card to Han Guishan and said, "Uncle Han, this is a little heart from the younger generation. I wanted to buy you a down jacket, but I was afraid the size wouldn't fit. Please accept it!"

This time Han Guishan didn't refuse. Having been a leader for many years, he knew how to appropriately let others express their gratitude, which was conducive to establishing a long-term relationship.

Coming out of Han Guishan's house, Lu Fan bought a few exquisite fruit baskets and went to the home of Vice Provincial Governor Tang Bing.

When drinking last night, Lu Fan proposed to Li Ruoqin his idea of expressing gratitude to Vice Governor Tang. After all, Vice Governor Tang played a positive role in his promotion, and it was a good opportunity to make contact!

At her daughter's request, considering the special relationship between future son-in-law Han Xinpu and Lu Fan, Vice Governor Tang agreed to let Lu Fan come to the house.

After entering the door, Vice Governor Tang Bing was very polite. After Lu Fan expressed his gratitude, he encouraged Lu Fan to work hard, do more practical things for the masses, and strive to achieve more and better results in the future.

In just ten minutes, Lu Fan could feel Vice Governor Tang's attitude, but he was not discouraged. Being able to visit was a good start. Where in the world is there a good thing that can be achieved overnight?

It's a pity that Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Zhao Wenfeng went to the capital and couldn't be seen.

After the provincial capital matters were understood, Lu Fan returned to Yingjiang.

For this promotion to Deputy County Chief, Secretary Li Mingzhou nodded and personally talked to him. Lu Fan really wanted to go and thank him, and see if he could take this opportunity to get on Secretary Li's big ship. But the status was really too disparate, and there was no way to speak.

Holding the mentality of giving it a try, Lu Fan took a box of tea and went to the Municipal Party Committee Office to try his luck.

Unexpectedly, Secretary Li was actually working overtime in the office on the weekend!

But the secretary ruthlessly turned Lu Fan away. Even if Lu Fan stated his identity, the secretary remained unmoved, and one could feel the secretary's contempt from his eyes!

For this situation, Lu Fan didn't feel angry or dissatisfied. After all, as a small county bureau director, what kind of work do you have to report to the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee member and Municipal Party Committee Secretary in person? Why don't the Ningyang Secretary and County Chief come? If it wasn't for "running for official positions" or other private interests, why are you here? For "miscellaneous people" to see the leader, the secretary naturally has to strictly control it so as not to interfere with the leader's normal work, otherwise that is an unforgivable crime!

Standing at the door of the secretary's office, Lu Fan felt incomparably helpless. He clearly knew that Secretary Li was inside, but he couldn't see him. He couldn't break in, so he could only turn and leave with unwillingness and regret.

He secretly pondered in his heart, damn it, the official rank is still too small! Alas, the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard! One day, I won't need to report anywhere!
