Chapter 124: Praise Without End

  Sometimes inspiration is like a spark, originally just a small flame, suddenly bursting into a raging fire, the whole mind is illuminated.

  Liu Siyuan's thinking was that the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Jian Zhiqiu didn't need to do these things. After getting his support, he gradually gained considerable speaking power in the county committee and at least got the respect due to a county head, so there was no need to take such drastic measures. Su Hua said well, medicine is three parts poison, being too radical is a major taboo in officialdom, let alone that his background and Fan Yugun were the same, if he really forced Old Fan into a desperate situation, Secretary Zhang would not tolerate him either.

  If it wasn't Jian Zhiqiu who set the trap, then who would it be? Just now, Liu Dayuan's words suddenly made him realize the truth, because he suddenly realized where the sword was pointing.

  He got more and more excited, so he immediately called Fang Xinyi, first mentioning Comrade Liu Dayuan's performance, and also talking about a scene from the Standing Committee meeting two days ago, but without revealing his own speculation.

  Fang Xinyu thought for half a day and suddenly said: "Is the true intention of Liu Dayuan to let you go to the municipal party committee to add fuel to the fire?"

  Liu Siyuan laughed and said: "Xin Yi, indeed heroes think alike."

  Fang Xinyu also smiled and first praised him before analyzing: "Actually, it's quite obvious that Liu Dayuan should be very clear about the irreconcilable contradictions between you and Old Fan. You've beaten Fan Shaohuang twice, and there's no possibility of improvement in your relationship with Fan Shuji, at most, it's just a temporary alliance for interests sometimes. So how could you possibly go to the municipal party committee to speak on his behalf? On the contrary, as ordinary people would think, if there's an opportunity to overthrow a county party secretary who doesn't get along with oneself, you wouldn't miss it! At least Liu Dayuan must have understood it this way, so he pretended to let you go and beg for mercy, revealing that someone had reported to the municipal discipline inspection committee."

  Liu Siyuan had also guessed it, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder. This officialdom really has all kinds of people, and everyone is full of weird ideas.

  Fang Xinyu further analyzed: "Maybe the one who informed Zheng Gaofeng last time and set up Fan Shaohuang was also him."

  Liu Siyuan agreed: "It seems that it's really hard to prevent family traitors, and Old Fan's character is indeed problematic. The people under him are all secretly plotting against him, and it's hard for him not to fall. I think he won't pass the test of the municipal discipline inspection committee this time. Those people aren't stupid either, they won't shoot without a target, they must have grasped some evidence."

  Fang Xinyu nodded in agreement, saying: "After all, in the officialdom, as long as you are upright yourself, you won't be afraid of your shadow being crooked, even if it's midnight you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Siyuan, you must pay attention and not be greedy for small gains while losing big ones. Also, if it was really Liu Dayuan who did this, then you should be careful, it means he is a very ambitious person, making such a big commotion, definitely plotting something big."

  Liu Siyuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't listen to his provocation."

  Fang Xinyu nodded and said, "Si Yuan, you performed well at the Standing Committee meeting. I really have a new opinion of you. Listening to your words, the most rational ones in the whole meeting were you, Jian Zhiqiu, and that reserved Zheng Gaofeng. At this time, we must not jump out to do things like kicking someone when they're down, otherwise, at the municipal party committee level, we will be at a disadvantage and people won't like us."

  The two of them went on to discuss Zheng Gaofeng and unanimously agreed that with Zheng's abilities, he couldn't have reached this level, the only explanation being that there was a mastermind behind him.

  Liu Siyuan smiled and said he would definitely follow Xinyi's instructions, which made her laugh for a long time on the phone. Finally, she also said with concern, "Don't prepare gifts when you come to my house for Chinese New Year, I'll take care of it myself. No one knows better than me what my old man likes."

  The next day in town, Ma Feng, who had just taken office as the deputy secretary of the town party committee, was still the same as before, and early in the morning he was the first to report on his work in Liu Siyuan's office.

  He mainly mentioned the personnel issue of the party and government office director, Liu Siyuan thought for a moment: "I think there is no suitable candidate for the time being, it's almost New Year's Day, let's put it off for now, and the daily work can be undertaken by Deputy Director Zhao Guotong."

  Ma Feng immediately smiled fawningly and said, "Secretary Liu is indeed a far-sighted person, your proposal is obviously well-considered, it's really great. Comrade Guo Dong is young but highly educated and capable, he should be given more responsibilities, which is also good for his growth."

  Liu Siyuan smiled and accepted his flattery, anyway, the thickness of his face had grown at a surprisingly rapid rate in recent days.

  Then Ma Feng said, "It's almost New Year's, we should also prepare some local specialties in our town and send them to the county leaders. We can't neglect some important county bureaus either. I've made a list, Secretary Liu, please take a look and suggest that you and Mayor Hu divide up the work and arrange a time to make the rounds."

  Liu Siyuan couldn't help but complain: "I just came back from the county and city, ran a lap to welcome Mayor Hu to the town, my butt hasn't even warmed up yet and I have to run to the county again..."

  Ma Feng smiled and said: "Who made Liu Secretary a member of the county party committee? The height of this station is different, and the level is also different."

  Liu Siyuan casually complained, knowing that these official rules couldn't be abolished. He laughed loudly and said: "It seems that in the future, Secretary Ma will have to take care of the town's affairs more often. Later, I'll meet with Mayor Hu and discuss it together."

  Have to admit, with Ma Feng, he is indeed much more at ease. Then he discussed with Hu Zhi-chao and they both thought that the county party committee leaders still had to have Liu Secretary personally go give gifts, while other leaders of some county bureaus or county party committees would be taken care of by Hu Zhi-chao.

  After finishing the New Year's affairs, Hu Zhichao took out a document and said: "Secretary Liu, I heard that the Central Government is currently conducting an evaluation of the top ten charming towns in the country. I've been thinking, our Beixi Town has good mountains, good water, and rich cultural heritage, and now the people live in peace and prosperity, which fully meets the conditions. I think we can apply to the county and city governments to let us participate in this evaluation."

  Liu Siyuan took the materials and looked at them, connecting to the recent plan to develop tourism, which was not bad. He nodded his head with force: "Hu Town's proposal is very good, it fits reality, so I'll first report to Secretary Fan and Mayor Jian, listen to their opinions."

  It just so happened that he was going to deliver the goods, so he took the opportunity to mention this matter while delivering the goods. Fan Yugun's face looked very ugly and didn't say much, obviously being troubled by worries and having no time to deal with this matter. Perhaps seeing that Liu Siyuan did not kick him when he was down at the last Standing Committee meeting, at least expressing a certain degree of support in his words.

  Jian Zhi Autumn listened to his report and showed great interest, praising him: "Si Yuan, this is a great thing. If Bei Xi Town can be evaluated, the county will also feel proud. Let's do it this way, you and Zhi Chao Town Mayor first get the materials ready, after the New Year, we'll take the materials directly to Zi Wei City to seek support from the city leaders."

  Liu Siyuan immediately nodded in agreement, and Jian Zhiqiu was in a great mood. He patted him on the shoulder and said: "Siyuan is indeed an outstanding young cadre. The Municipal Party Committee Organization Department came to ask me for my evaluation of you a few days ago, and I couldn't praise you enough!"
