Chapter 228: Sudden Changes in the Province

Taking advantage of Wu Xiaohua's busy gap, Secretary Chen Jiazhong actually chatted with Lu Fan!

"What position do you hold now?"

Lu Fan hurriedly replied, "Secretary, I serve as Deputy County Chief in Ningyang County Government, in charge of culture, education, and health."

"Hmm, very good, continue to work hard and learn from Comrade Wang Hongtao in your county!"

Hearing this, Lu Fan showed admiration on his face and said firmly, "Secretary Hongtao is the pride of our Ningyang people! He has always been the example I learn from!"

Chen Jiazhong suddenly asked, "How many brothers and sisters are there in the family?"

Lu Fan hurriedly said, "There is also a younger sister, a senior at Tsinghua University."

Chen Jiazhong nodded and praised, "Very excellent, have a chance to see our Qinchuan's talented woman!"

"Secretary overpraised, my sister is just a little more diligent, but I have always been proud of her!"

Just as he was talking, Wu Xiaohua came in and said, "Secretary, everything is ready!"

Chen Jiazhong said to Wu Xiaohua, "Your friend is here, or should I go over alone?"

Lu Fan hurriedly said, "Secretary Chen, I just came to sit for a while, and I was about to leave. I dare not delay your big event!" After speaking, he nodded and left Wu Xiaohua's office.

On the way to Qinchuan Hotel, Chen Jiazhong asked, "Xiaohua, did Lu Fan come to you for something?"

Wu Xiaohua didn't dare to hide it and reported, "Ningyang's college entrance exam results are particularly outstanding this year, second only to two old key high schools, ranking third in the city. Lu Fan wants to strive for the honor of the Education Department."

Chen Jiazhong nodded slightly and said, "A county's college entrance exam results can achieve such an amazing leap, behind it must be a lot of hard work and a lot of effective work. We want to set up such a model to encourage more grassroots cadres to really bury their heads in hard work and do things down-to-earth. You greet the Education Department and say it's my meaning!" He vaguely remembered that Minister Deming specifically mentioned Lu Fan before he left.

"Okay, Secretary, I will implement it immediately."

In the evening, Lu Fan was worried in the hotel about how to open his mouth to Han Xinpu. After all, Governor Tang Bing was his mother-in-law, and he felt it was a bit difficult.

After ten o'clock, Wu Xiaohua's call came, and his tone was slightly "arrogant": "Xiao Fan, I helped you handle that little thing of yours. Isn't it just an honor? Easy!"

Lu Fan was overjoyed and said happily, "Brother Wu, you are too awesome! What do I need to do, just tell me, let's not owe favors!"

"You don't need to worry about this, it's a small matter! Go to the Education Department tomorrow morning and find Director Huang Ming directly. Everything has been coordinated. No need to 'gunpowder,' just normal etiquette."

"Okay, Brother Wu, I listen to your command! Do you want to come out for a drink?"

"Hey, forget it, I won't entertain you this time. I have to go to Hanjiang for research with the Secretary early tomorrow morning."

"That's fine, you can arrange it at any time if you have anything, let's meet again later!"

Hanging up the phone, the stone in Lu Fan's heart finally fell to the ground, and his face was full of comfort.

Early the next morning, Lu Fan squatted at the door of the office of Director Huang Ming of the Education Department.

It wasn't until around 8:30 that Huang Ming swayed to the unit.

Seeing Lu Fan, Huang Ming smiled and said, "You came earlier than me, come in and talk."

After entering the room, seeing the sweat on Huang Ming's face, Lu Fan smiled and said, "Director, good habit, you went to exercise, right!"

"Yes, as long as there is nothing, I like to walk to work. Oh, by the way, Director Xiaohua called me last night and talked about the selection of National Excellent Educational Workers this year. Actually, you don't need to do anything extra. The Education Department has seen Ningyang's educational work in the past two years, especially the good results in this year's college entrance exam. I originally planned to recommend you!"

Lu Fan hurriedly said, "Thank you for your recognition and support, Director. I don't care about myself, but Ningyang's educational development is at the most critical moment, and we need an honor to encourage everyone to move forward!"

"Hmm, don't worry about this. There is no problem with the recommendation of the Provincial Department. As for the Ministry of Education, I will also help you lobby."

"Director, I will state my position. Ningyang and I unconditionally obey your instructions. If there is any human relationship, just tell me!"

"Let's talk about these later. The top priority is to win the honor first. After all, it was specifically explained by Secretary Deming!"

Lu Fan remained calm on the surface, but a huge wave had already surged in his heart. Why would the Provincial Party Secretary help him implement the honor? It should be Brother Wu who fought for it, right? This kindness must be remembered in his heart forever!

Before leaving, Lu Fan insisted on putting down an "envelope." You can't dip your fingers in the water when doing things. The necessary attitude must be there.

After settling his wish, Lu Fan immediately returned to Ningyang, because school was about to start, and there was still a big mess at home.

On the morning of August 26th, Deputy County Chief Lu Fan of Ningyang County went to various primary and secondary schools to check the registration of freshmen.

Every time Lu Fan went to a school, he asked in detail about the registration situation and required all schools to go all out to do a good job in student enrollment and registration, ensuring that the 2015 enrollment work was scientific, standardized, sunny, transparent, and stable and orderly.

He specifically exhorted the County No. 1 Primary School, County No. 2 Primary School, and County Middle School that the problem of children's enrollment is one of the problems that the masses are most concerned about. In the short term, school places in some areas are still in short supply, and the school's enrollment pressure is great. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly follow the principles of openness, fairness, and justice, strictly regulate the enrollment order, and strictly discipline the enrollment.

Returning to the office, Lu Fan habitually opened the website and found a worrying piece of news!

Western News, Le Xueren is the Vice Provincial Governor of Qinchuan Provincial People's Government!

This is another adjustment of the provincial government leadership team following Liu Tuo's adjustment to the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary.

Lu Fan stared at this news, as if time had solidified. He looked at the screen motionless, his eyes full of anxiety and uneasiness, and his heart was shrouded in an invisible heavy pressure, making him unable to concentrate on doing anything at all.

In the past, Le Xueren was still in Hanjiang City, and the threat didn't feel so obvious. Now that Le Xueren has become a Vice Provincial Governor, possessing greater power and influence, he can directly interfere with all cities in the province. This oppressive feeling close at hand made Lu Fan unable to sleep or eat, and he began to worry about his future.

Returning home in the evening, Lu Fan called Du Wenlong down and told him the "bad news" of Le Xueren's promotion.

Du Wenlong was also worried and said, "Brother Fan, our contradiction with him is impossible to reconcile. The Vice Provincial Governor has great energy. From now on, we have to be on guard!"

Lu Fan slowly thought it through and said, "The sky is going to rain, and the mother is going to marry. Forget it, don't care! At worst, soldiers come to block, water comes to cover. Iron needs to be hard itself, and I haven't done anything illegal. He can't take down a Deputy County Chief for no reason, right? There is one thing you should handle, the share issue of Wutong Xiaoqi, carefully warn Su Xiaoyi and Wu Heng, and there must be no accidents!"

Du Wenlong said seriously, "Brother Fan, we are all brothers. I believe no one will betray. I will warn them to prevent others from setting words. Oh, by the way, you are the number one in Baishu Bay and the Education Bureau. Is there any problem with the finance?"

Lu Fan shook his head and said, "I haven't touched money, and the reimbursement is strictly in accordance with the five-signature system. However, you also know that some work must be done, and some unavoidable expenses must be there, so I'm afraid someone will make an article about this."

"Generally speaking, it's fine. After all, everyone knows it. If you have to pursue it, it involves higher-level departments and leaders. But if someone really insists on it, it's also a problem. However, according to the practice of our Discipline Inspection Commission, this kind of thing is at most a warning."

"Besides this, I have no other violations or disciplinary actions!"

"Brother Fan, you greet the Education Bureau, I will check the accounts in the dark first, and make up for the leaks first."

"Okay! Wenlong, thank you!"

"Brother Fan, don't worry too much. Even if he is a Vice Provincial Governor, he cannot directly interfere with the work in the county."

On August 27th, the Ministry of Education sent someone to verify Lu Fan's advanced deeds. After all, Lu Fan has been nominated as a National Excellent Educational Worker for two consecutive years, and the Ministry has to go through the procedures to avoid mistakes.

However, unexpectedly, the person sent by the Ministry was Li Zimeng. Now Lu Fan is relieved. At least they are friends, and there will definitely be no accidents.

Lu Fan warmly welcomed this "old friend," showed meticulous care and care, accompanied Li Zimeng in Ningyang's work throughout the process, and took her to taste all the delicacies in Ningyang.

Having not been alone with a woman for a long time, Li Zimeng behaved elegantly and generously, treated people warmly and generously, and her smile was as bright as sunshine, giving Lu Fan a different feeling.

The next morning, the sun was bright and the autumn was high and the air was crisp. Li Zimeng began a secret visit.

She shuttled through the streets and alleys of the county, walked into various schools, and deeply understood the public's views on Lu Fan's work.

Everywhere she went, she listened carefully to people's opinions and evaluations. However, to her surprise, almost all the people in the county praised this young Deputy County Chief's work.

Whether it was teachers in the school or ordinary citizens, they gave a thumbs up one after another and expressed their appreciation for Lu Fan without hesitation.

"County Chief Lu is really a good leader! He has solved many practical problems for Ningyang education."

"Since Lu Fan took office, look at our Ningyang's college entrance exam results, children's future has more hope!"

"County Chief Lu is worthy of being a Ningyang person, allowing everyone to enjoy high-quality education at their doorstep!"

"Such a person should be an official, should be a big official, should be a County Party Committee Secretary!"

Such praise came one after another, making Li Zimeng feel very surprised. She originally thought that it was difficult to satisfy everyone, and she would hear some dissatisfaction or criticism, but the facts were completely opposite.

The high recognition and love of the people of Ningyang for Lu Fan made Li Zimeng sincerely proud and proud of this friend, and a warm current surged in her heart, and her favor increased by one point.

Ending the work itinerary, Li Zimeng sent a message to Lu Fan, saying that the task of the Ministry was successfully completed, and asked him not to have any worries, and must contact her next time he comes to Jingcheng. ===== CHAPTER 229 =====
