Chapter 463: Wang Haiyang's Dejection

Lu Fan's speech gave the leaders of the Culture and Tourism Bureau and various counties and districts great pressure. They didn't feel that the Mayor was scaring people. If they couldn't come up with practical and effective tourism measures, losing points in front of the Mayor was a small matter, but affecting their own future was a big matter!

The attention of leaders is a prerequisite for success. After the meeting, the Municipal Culture and Tourism Bureau and various counties and districts began to brainstorm and actively plan tourism development strategies.

Following that, on September 21st, the Provincial Party Committee inspection team came to Nanyuan, making everyone understand more clearly that this Mayor was not simple, and his instructions must be implemented.

After the Provincial Party Committee five-person group meeting, Provincial Party Committee Organization Department Deputy Minister Wang Xi personally led a team to Nanyuan City to conduct organizational inspections on Wolong District Party Committee Deputy Secretary Liao Hang, Municipal Agriculture Bureau Director Gu Qing, Education Bureau Wan Shengjun, Municipal Discipline Inspection Committee Tian Haosheng, and others, and conducted organizational talks on Nan County Head Shen Youqing, Zhenping County Head Wang Muyi, Neixiang County Head Sun Muyi, and Xichuan County Head Ren Zhao.

After Wang Xi arrived at the Municipal Party Committee, he exchanged opinions with Secretary Wang Haiyang, requiring Nanyuan City to resolutely implement the organizational intention and let the inspection proceed smoothly.

Until now, Wang Haiyang knew that his recommendations were completely denied by the Provincial Party Committee. Even facing Wang Xi, his dejection was beyond words.

Although he was unwilling, the matter was settled, and the inspection had to be carried out. Wang Haiyang strengthened his spirit to deploy this inspection and simply distributed the work to Municipal Party Committee Deputy Secretary Su Xiang Hai.

After the inspection began, leading cadres in the city discussed it, and a saying became the mainstream voice: the Secretary was not favored by the Provincial Party Committee, and the objects of promotion this time were all the Mayor's people!

After arranging the inspection work, Provincial Party Committee Organization Department Deputy Minister Wang Xi went directly to the Municipal Government to "drop by" and find his old classmate Lu Fan to chat, which further confirmed people's guesses.

Arriving at the Mayor's office, Wang Xi pushed the door and entered, saying with a smile: "Class monitor, I'm here to report!"

Lu Fan hurriedly got up and replied with a smile: "Finished talking with Secretary Haiyang? Sit down quickly, I'll get you some good tea!"

Watching Lu Fan busy, Wang Xi said: "Just make some tea to quench your thirst. Class monitor, when I talked to Secretary Haiyang just now, I felt he was very out of state! Our Organization Department is not favored!"

Lu Fan put the tea in front of Wang Xi and said with a smile: "The organization selects talents for Nanyuan, we certainly welcome it. Isn't there still me? Can't I entertain you well?"

Wang Xi laughed: "It has to be the old classmate! Class monitor, you didn't make a small movement this time. I heard that at the five-person group meeting, Provincial Governor Tang Bing's support for Nanyuan was also very strong, and he didn't raise any objections to your candidates."

Lu Fan nodded in understanding, kept this favor in his heart, and would go to the Provincial Government to express his gratitude specifically another day.

The two chatted hotly in the office, and Municipal Party Secretary Wang Haiyang's office was also very lively. Municipal Direct Organ Work Committee Secretary Ma Li rushed to the door angrily, questioning why she was not inspected? Why did her County Party Secretary position disappear?

Wang Haiyang said angrily: "This is the Municipal Party Committee, not a place for you to make trouble! The organization has its own considerations for employing people, which shows that you still need to continue to work hard. Go back quickly, the inspection team is still in the city!"

Starting to pretend to be a big wolf now? A person who is about to retire, Ma Li doesn't eat this set, and retorted: "Let me go? Why didn't you say this when you were happy on me? Wang Haiyang, I have been with you since I was thirty, and I have had four or five abortions. What have I asked from you? Do you have any conscience? You will retire next year. Do you really intend to ignore me? I warn you, if I don't get anything, we will break up, and I will let you go in to step on the sewing machine. No one wants to be good!"

Wang Haiyang scolded: "You shrew! How did your Organ Work Committee Secretary position come from? Human hearts are not enough to swallow an elephant. Do you think County Party Secretary is so easy to be? Don't look at your own ability?"

"What are you pretending to be? You can be the Municipal Party Secretary, why can't I be the County Party Secretary? I think you are about to retire, people leave and tea cools, and your words are like farts! I warn you for the last time, before you retire, you must solve my problem, otherwise I will make you eat and walk around!" After speaking, Ma Li turned and left, completely without the gentleness of the past!

Wang Haiyang sat on the office chair with a decadent face, thinking of a sentence: Drink the golden cup with you, and the white blade will not forgive! When encountering conflicts of interest, everything will reveal its original shape. Is human nature really so ugly and dark? Can you ignore ten years of affection? The ugliness of human nature is interpreted vividly, selfish, greedy, shameless, making people shudder!

It used to be said that distance does not necessarily know the strength of a horse, and time is difficult to see human hearts. Interests are the touchstone. This sentence should be changed to: only night grass can know the strength of a horse, and human hearts are seen in front of interests!

In the evening, Lu Fan hosted a banquet for Wang Xi and the inspection team, and got everyone drunk.

The next day, Lu Fan took Wang Xi to research the party building work in Wolong District, accompanied him to several tourist attractions to "play in the mountains and water," and by the way, understand Nanyuan's tourism resources.

Arriving at Wuhou Temple, also known as Zhuge Hermitage, it is located on Wolong Hill in the southwest of Nanyuan City.

This is a temple built by ancient people to commemorate the famous politician, thinker, and strategist Zhuge Wuhou. It was announced as a national key cultural relic protection unit in 1996 and was rated as an AAAA-level national tourist scenic spot in 2007.

When Wuhou Temple was built, there is no record in the literature, but the Tang Dynasty poet Liu Yuxi's "Loushi Ming" already has the poem "Nanyang Zhuge Lu, Xishu Ziyun Pavilion." Wuhou Temple has a large number of stele inscriptions, about 300 stones, with seal, official, regular, and cursive scripts.

Stepping into the mountain gate of Wuhou Temple, facing it is the Great Hall, and there are large clay sculptures in the hall. On the front side of the Great Hall is the Ming Dynasty stele corridor, inlaid with stone carvings of the front and back "Chu Shi Biao" written by Yue Fei. The buildings behind the temple mainly include Zhuge Thatched Cottage, Yeyun Hermitage, Gupo Pavilion, Banyue Terrace, Ningyuan Building, etc. The thatched cottage is a brick-wood structure with octagonal eaves, surrounded by an octagonal corridor, and the roof is covered with thatch. On the front door of the thatched cottage hangs a plaque of "Zhuge Thatched Cottage" written by Guo Moruo.

Touring Wuhou Temple, Lu Fan's mind immediately emerged with that classic famous saying: Bow down and die, and then stop! This is the ultimate embodiment of the spirit of dedication, willing to be conscientious for the cause, willing to be in public day and night for ideals, and willing to devote a lifetime to beliefs.

The era is the questioner, leading cadres are the answerers, and the people are the graders. Only by closely connecting one piece of work, one position, and one scattered individual with society. For a country, only when every individual plays a good role and exerts a good effect on their respective social coordinates can they gather the magnificent power of national dream realization and accumulate the powerful driving force of national progress. This is the important significance of the Wuhou spirit!

Wang Xi said: "Regarding the dispute over the 'plowing land,' it is now becoming more and more intense, and the internet is arguing endlessly."

Lu Fan replied: "This is completely understandable. After all, it involves historical sense of honor, sense of belonging, and the support of superior policies. We must look at this issue rationally. For example, Dukang wine has a long history and is famous at home and abroad. Aren't the two provinces also fighting? But it doesn't affect both places benefiting from it."

"If you don't get angry and look at it objectively, Nanyang and Xiangyang are two historical cities belonging to the Nanxiang Basin. The distance is relatively close, and the customs and dialects are basically the same. There are frequent exchanges between the people in the two places, and famous figures cannot avoid flowing between the two places. As far as Wuhou is concerned, you cannot deny that he lived in Nanyang just because he lived in Xiangyang. On the contrary, it still holds! History is not made of mud. There is only one real plowing land, but for me, this is not the point. The more you fight, the higher the heat. How to transform the heat into economic benefits and how to carry forward the Wuhou spirit is the most important thing!"

On September 27th, the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department issued a personnel adjustment document. Four County Party Secretaries and five County District Heads in Nanyuan City arrived at their posts to perform their duties immediately, adding a lot of confidence to Lu Fan in his work.

Also on this day, Wang Haiyang received a shocking news: the Provincial Discipline Inspection Committee was "paying attention" to him! This news was like a bolt from the blue, making Wang Haiyang feel a chill rising from his spine.

The news was revealed by a division director who had been secretly friendly for many years. The credibility was quite high, making Wang Haiyang full of fear and anxiety. He began to recall the bits and pieces of the past, guessing which aspect went wrong? Is it really going to be exposed and lose his integrity?

This matter is no small matter. If handled improperly, the consequences will be unimaginable. As a "veteran" who has been on the battlefield for a long time, Wang Haiyang was not controlled by panic. He quickly calmed down and thought about countermeasures. Sitting and waiting for death is definitely not possible, and he must take action. After careful consideration, he went to the provincial capital, went to the main leader to explore the reality, and wanted to find a way to avoid this disaster.

Wang Haiyang went to the provincial capital just after he left, and Lu Fan also went to the provincial capital to dock with Standing Committee member and Vice Provincial Governor Huang Chongzhou on matters related to Nanyuan City's ten major transportation projects. The Municipal People's Congress was about to be elected, so he had to do a few big things to "show off."

When entering the Provincial Party Committee compound, Lu Fan met the worried Wang Haiyang, but chased a few steps and didn't catch up.

Arriving at Vice Provincial Governor Huang Chongzhou's office, Lu Fan put the tea he brought on the tea cabinet and said with a smile: "Provincial Governor, the packaging is not good, but it tastes good. It was purchased from a tea farmer. Don't dislike it!"

Huang Chongzhou laughed: "I once went to the depths of Wuyi to visit old tea farmers, just for a cup of good tea. They have been in the mountains for a lifetime, picking and making tea conscientiously year after year, following natural laws, following ancient craftsmanship. That is called 'craftsmanship and soul.' In their eyes, tea is a 'living creature' that is lively and fragrant! Lu Fan, thank you! You don't go to the Three Treasures Hall without anything. Is it because of your ten major transportation projects?"

Lu Fan said generously: "It's almost time for the election, so I have to do something brilliant. I also ask the Provincial Governor to lend a helping hand and increase some weight for me!" Sometimes, when doing things, you have to say official business as private business, so that you owe the other party a favor, leaving a backhand for future exchanges. This is the way of the world.

Huang Chongzhou replied with a smile: "Don't worry, the executive meeting and the Standing Committee meeting have all passed. The projects and funds will be issued to Nanyuan City soon. I will definitely go all out to support your affairs!"

"Thank you for the support of the Provincial Governor. I will arrange for the Transportation Bureau Director to dock with the specific matters!" The human feelings that should be there must be there, otherwise how to strive for projects in the future? But Lu Fan will not easily come forward for this kind of thing. ===== CHAPTER 464 =====
