Chapter 256

The next morning, Municipal Development and Reform Commission Director Yang Shaokai and Municipal Bureau of Statistics Director Wang Haoran came to Li Mingzhou's room to report work.

Yang Shaokai said, "Secretary, through private relationships, I saw the ranking table. Those three indicators of ours are indeed in the bottom three of the province. It is mainly because these assessment indicators temporarily changed the algorithm. I feel that it is intentionally targeting our Yingjiang City! For example, the proportion of non-public economy added effectiveness assessment, our city's effectiveness scoring is the last in the province, so it led to this indicator being at the bottom!"

Wang Haoran added, "I docked with the Provincial Bureau of Statistics, they are very confidential, but the accounting division chief is my classmate at the Party School, and the relationship is quite good. He privately revealed that the ranking has already been arranged, and it was arranged by the Provincial Bureau of Statistics Director himself."

Li Mingzhou was furious, "Treating work as a child's play, is this still a cadre of the party? You two continue to dock with superior departments and master the latest dynamics. Lu Fan, prepare a box of tea, come with me to the Provincial Government later, really treat Yingjiang as a soft persimmon? Want to pinch it at will?"

"Okay, Secretary, I'll go prepare immediately."

At ten o'clock in the morning, Li Mingzhou came to Provincial Governor Liu Congfeng's office, put down the tea, and smiled, "Governor, I'm here to report work."

Liu Congfeng stood up and said, "Comrade Mingzhou is here, it just so happens I have some good tea here, let you taste it!"

"Then I have a blessing today!" Li Mingzhou didn't be polite either, walked straight to the sofa and sat down.

Liu Congfeng skillfully fiddled with the tea set. Not long after, a pot of Longjing tea emitting a clear fragrance was brewed, and the tea fragrance overflowed.

The two chatted while tasting tea.

Liu Congfeng smiled and said, "Mingzhou, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. If you have anything, just say it, don't beat around the bush, we don't pay attention to those polite exchanges between us."

Li Mingzhou put down the teacup and said, "It's almost the end of the year, the comrades have worked hard for a year, and all want to be recognized and commended by the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government. I can't be vulgar either, I'm here to ask the Governor for a ranking!"

"Mingzhou, this is the first time you've come to ask me for a ranking since you went to Yingjiang, right? Why, suddenly care about this?"

Li Mingzhou sighed helplessly and said, "Governor, if it's purely because the work is not done well and the ranking is low, then I have nothing to say, I can only blame myself for not doing well. However, I'm afraid someone is calculating against me! Small news, several assessment indicators this year are near the end of the year, and suddenly the assessment method was changed, and we in Yingjiang are very likely to be at the bottom. This changing morning and evening, how can we carry out work?"

Liu Congfeng frowned and said, "How come I don't know about this?"

"Governor, what I just said is just hearsay, not necessarily true. In short, we in Yingjiang are not afraid of fair competition, but we are afraid of someone deliberately targeting us, dark arrows are hard to guard against! If we suffer unfair treatment, it doesn't matter if I suffer some grievances, but I'm afraid that everyone has been busy for a whole year, but because of some people's ulterior motives, they can't get a fair and just evaluation. I'm afraid it will hit the comrades' enthusiasm and initiative for work, then it will be a loss that outweighs the gain!"

"Mingzhou, the assessment must objectively reflect the work effectiveness of all cities in the province. I will focus on the problems you mentioned and will not let everyone suffer grievances!"

On January 12, Liu Congfeng convened a Provincial Government Party Group meeting to specifically study matters related to provincial assessment indicators.

At the meeting, Executive Vice Provincial Governor Duan Pengfei was the first to speak, reporting the preliminary assessment results of 8 assessment indicators in the area of responsibility.

As he was speaking, Provincial Governor Liu Congfeng interrupted his speech and asked suspiciously, "What's going on with the proportion of non-public economy? I remember Yingjiang was second in the half-year assessment, why did it become last at the end of the year? What is the reason for the slide?"

Duan Pengfei explained, "Governor, in order to keep pace with the times and objectively reflect the development situation and effectiveness of the non-public economy in our province, I referred to the assessment methods of the State Council and brother provinces and increased the proportion of effectiveness assessment. Yingjiang City has a small number of newly registered enterprises and individual businesses this year, and the strength of policies benefiting enterprises is small. Comprehensive analysis belongs to the backward in the province, so the ranking slide is relatively large!"

Liu Congfeng frowned and said, "The year-end assessment method was decided to be implemented after discussion by the Provincial Government Executive Meeting and the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee. How can it be changed morning and evening? It doesn't matter if I, the Governor, don't know, does the Provincial Party Committee know? Changing back and forth, how can the comrades below work? Once the standard is set, it must be executed. Assessment indicators cannot be changed at will without the consent of the Provincial Party Committee. If everyone feels there is a problem somewhere, they can propose it in next year's assessment method. All indicators with changes must be changed back immediately! Okay, Comrade Pengfei, continue to report."

The expression on Duan Pengfei's face was extremely rich, and he continued to report with a scalp, observing Liu Congfeng's complexion carefully with his peripheral vision.

Liu Congfeng didn't change his face, secretly muttering in his heart: This person, he belongs to the walnut, must be knocked often, otherwise he will go to heaven!

On January 15, the Provincial High Court tried the case of Le Xuezhi in Yingjiang City.

The second instance held that the first-instance judgment identified facts clearly, the evidence was solid and sufficient, the application of law and conviction were accurate, the sentencing was appropriate, and the trial procedure was legal, so it made an appeal ruling according to law.

This meant that Le Xuezhi's case was officially concluded, and the judgment regarding him took effect and was executed immediately!

After hearing this good news, Lu Fan was so excited that he couldn't control himself. The culprit who killed his father was finally brought to justice!

After work in the afternoon, Lu Fan returned to Langcha Village alone and silently, knelt in front of his parents' grave, and muttered to himself, "Mom and Dad, do you see it? That bastard has already been punished! I said I must make them pay the price, now finally one has been sanctioned, this is just the beginning!"

"My sister is very promising, she will graduate from university soon, we will all be fine! Your son also has a girlfriend, very beautiful, you can rest assured..."

Lu Fan sat quietly like this, talking a lot of intimate words with his parents, until night fell before he slowly stood up and left.

Since he finally came back, Lu Fan planned to go to his second uncle's house to see.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he parked the car, he was spotted by that old immortal Le Jialin, who leaned on a crutch and came to the door!

"Lu Fan, you dog thing, get out for me!" Le Jialin knocked on the car window with his crutch.

Hearing the movement, Lu Fan hurriedly went out, and his second uncle and second aunt also followed.

Seeing this, the second uncle retorted angrily, "You old thing, if you break the car, pay me!"

"Lu Fan, you insidious thing, why do you want to harm my son?"

Lu Fan took a photo of Le Jialin's action with his mobile phone and said lightly, "The glass is more than five hundred!"

"Go to your mother's, I can afford this little money!"

Lu Fan controlled his anger and said, "Disrespectful to the old! I don't want to scold people, don't be shameless! Also, your son violated the criminal law, it is the judgment of the provincial and municipal courts, it is the punishment he deserves, it has nothing to do with me, and I don't have such great ability!"

"Stop telling me these useless things, I tell you, this matter is not over!"

"Le Jialin, good and evil will be rewarded, everyone must be responsible for what they have done! I think it's not me who should be worried, but some old immortal who is about to have no descendants!"

"Dog thing, how come I didn't see you were such a thing?"

Lu Fan ignored him and said to his second uncle and second aunt, "I have to go back to work overtime, call me at any time if you have anything. If any dog bites people and harasses your life, you can report to the police directly, the law will wipe out the whole nest of dogs!"

Le Jialin still wanted to scold people, but was pulled away by the second uncle, watching Lu Fan go away, so angry that he almost didn't catch his breath!

Back at the unit, Lu Fan saw that the light in Secretary Li Mingzhou's office was still on, so he pushed the door in with gratitude.

"Secretary, it's getting late, you must pay attention to rest!"

Li Mingzhou raised his head, glanced, and said, "Eyes are red, crying?"

"Went back to the village, burned some paper money for the two elders. Secretary, your great kindness, I can't repay it no matter what!"

"Talking nonsense again! A man should be open-minded and free, and should roam the world, be happy with gratitude and revenge, and have great passion! If you have revenge but don't report it, are timid, and do nothing, how is it different from rotten wood and rotten grass? I told you before, do what you want to do, do it with open hands! For example, investigating Le Xueli, if you want to investigate, investigate, as long as the evidence is sufficient, if you want to handle it, handle it, no need to consider others! In Yingjiang, others' hands can't reach in!"

"Secretary, you know everything?" Lu Fan was not too surprised, just as the Secretary said, this is Yingjiang!

Li Mingzhou smiled, "I'm just watching how you do it, and I won't interfere. Where there is an obvious mistake, I'll help you correct it!"

Lu Fan really wanted to know why the Secretary helped himself and cultivated himself so unsparingly. This could not be explained by a simple appreciation, but he would not be stupid enough to question it.

"Lu Fan, what do you plan to do next?"

"Treat every task seriously, strive to improve my ability and vision in all aspects, and be ready to go!"

"Don't plan to take action against Le Xueyi?"

"Secretary, he is a County Party Committee Secretary, a provincial-managed cadre!"

Li Mingzhou smiled, "Why stick to common sense? You can collect some solid materials first, so that you can hit the mark when the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission investigates! Le Xuezhi is just a small minion, insignificant, and can be abandoned; taking down Le Xueli, he will be angry; if Le Xueyi is taken down, he may lose his mind! Angry people will do anything, which means they will make mistakes, so there is a chance to 'correct' his mistakes!"

"Secretary, won't it cause you trouble?"

Li Mingzhou smiled contemptuously, his eyes full of disdain: "Go ahead and do it, he is not qualified enough!"

He knew clearly that although Lu Fan had potential, he lacked practical experience, and hoped that this "whetstone" of the Le family could make Lu Fan grow up quickly. How can you control a county without some means?

After talking for more than an hour, Lu Fan felt that he had benefited a lot, and even his thinking had been greatly impacted!

This is the benefit of teaching by hand, which can let Lu Fan take fewer detours!
