Rebirth: 1977

Ye Tianshui sat still and asked Wu Pingtao in a deep voice:

“He is the secretary of Wangjiaping Commune?

Didn't we agree not to inform him? Why are you waiting here?"

Wu Pingtao was also puzzled:

"I didn't inform him, and nothing was leaked out. I just wanted the two of us to quietly look around so you can have some idea of ​​what's going on.

He also told Secretary Bi not to call him, and I don’t know who tipped him off.”

Lin Hao reminded: "When we came out, you asked me, how long does it take to get to Wangjiaping?

Maybe someone heard it and reported it to Wang Guangrong."

Ye Tianshui thought about it and it was true. His voice didn't seem to be very loud, but who knew that there were these people everywhere who were reporting to him.

But that's normal. These commune secretaries were all promoted by Bian Kang himself. They came in and out of the county party committee compound, so who didn't know them?

"Now that we are here, we might as well make the best of it. Let's go down. I just want to get to know him.

If we want to invest here, we have to deal with these local tyrants.

Brother Tao, what do you think of this person? Is he easy to use? Did you not touch any of the people promoted by Bian Kang after he took office? "

Wu Pingtao smiled faintly:

"I seldom interact with several commune secretaries now, as Bi Tianliang is in charge of these matters.

Now my mind is all on how to develop Meihua County. On the basis of the original ones, can we add some other crops to grow?

I don’t have the time and energy to get to know the five commune secretaries in detail about their personalities and abilities.

As long as Bi Tianliang can tolerate them, I don’t want to touch anyone for the time being.

After all, a small move can affect the entire body, so we should wait and see for a while before making any decisions."

"As long as you have a plan in mind, it doesn't matter who you use as long as they can cooperate with your work.

Let’s go down then. We will go to Yi Haiping’s house as planned and deliver his family letter and rice to his parents.

It just so happens that I can also help you get to know this secretary from the side. If he is not decent, you should replace him as soon as possible.

Anyway, it won’t affect your career and my investment.”

Hearing this, Lin Hao opened the car door and jumped out. A gust of cold wind with a bone-chilling chill blew into the car.

He looked at Wang Guangrong and shouted:

"Hello, Secretary Wang."

"Hello, Secretary Lin!" Wang Guangrong greeted politely.

Lin Hao ignored him and opened the door for Ye Tianshui: "Sir, be careful when you get off the car, it's all muddy."

Chen Jun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also got out of the car. Sun Hongliang had already opened the door and got out. Ye Tianshui and Wu Pingtao got out of the car from both sides.

Wang Guangrong must have known how many people had arrived. He only knew Wu Pingtao and Lin Hao. When he saw Lin Hao getting off the car and calling him, he immediately ran up.

But the person who got off the car next was a young man he didn't know. He was stunned. In his opinion, Lin Hao, as the secretary of the county magistrate, the person who helped open the door must be Wu Pingtao.

He looked at the strange young man in front of him. He must be the one who was privately described as the evil spirit by the people of Meihua County.

It was similar to what many people had described, and he really looked like the real him. The faint aura of oppression from him made the cold air seem to become several degrees colder.

"Secretary Lin, hello... hello!

Who is this...leader?"

He had a flattering smile on his face and bent his waist. Although he was sure that he had not made a mistake, he was asking Lin Hao and did not dare to look Ye Tianshui in the eye.

It was really because this young man was too aloof, and there was an invisible sense of oppression on him that was hard to explain.

Lin Hao replied directly: "This is Mr. Ye from Beijing."

'Master Ye', this simple introduction made Wang Guangrong think about it in his mind.

While he was hesitating about how to respond, Wu Pingtao came down from another car door. Seeing Wang Guangrong's embarrassment, he greeted him with a smile:

"Hello, Secretary Wang."

The tone was light.

"Ah, County Magistrate Wu, hello, hello!"

He then ran towards Wu Pingtao and stretched out his hand, but was ignored. Who would dare to take it?

Anyone with eyes saw it just now. That hand was used to wipe a lot of snot.

Wu Pingtao couldn't be rude, so he immediately changed the subject, avoided the hand, and naturally pointed to Ye Tianshui to introduce him:

"This is Mr. Ye from the capital, my friend, who has come here specially to inspect our Meihua County."

"Hello, Mr. Ye!"

Wang Guangrong nodded and greeted him.

He was suspicious of what Wu Pingtao said:

"I came here specially to inspect our Meihua County." "Inspect"? What does that mean? Why doesn't he understand?

Who exactly is this Mr. Ye?

The last time they showed up, weren’t they accompanied by armed military police?

Now, in the blink of an eye, I have become familiar with the new county magistrate and have a good relationship with him. After all, they are all from Beijing, so it is normal for them to know each other.

How come you're here for 'inspection' all of a sudden?

Although Wang Guangrong was only a commune secretary, he understood one thing: those who were qualified to go out for "inspection" were all big leaders!

When he received a secret call from an acquaintance in the county party committee, he immediately felt that this was a good opportunity to get close to the new county magistrate. Moreover, Wang Guangrong was both frightened and curious about the young man who had completely eliminated his immediate superior during his last visit to Meihua County.

So, after receiving the letter, I immediately waited at this necessary road.

Sure enough, God helps those who work hard, and he finally got what he waited for.

In such an occasion, Ye Tianshui still had to give him face, and then he smiled faintly and replied:

"Hello, Secretary Wang."

"Hello, hello! Hello! Welcome to County Magistrate Wu and all the leaders to come to our Wangjiaping to inspect our work."

Wu Pingtao looked at Wang Guangrong with a scrutinizing look, his tone becoming increasingly cold:

"Secretary Wang, it's not easy for Master Ye to come to our Meihua County, and time is very tight. He brought a letter from home to Yi Haiping, an active-duty soldier in Wangjiaping Village, and we will deliver it immediately.

So, we didn't mean to alarm you, but who knew... Secretary Wang was so thoughtful that he actually waited here in the severe cold.

Then you can come with us, visiting military families is part of our job description."

Wang Guangrong was stunned and asked in surprise:

"Yi Haiping? The one from Wangjiaping Village who went out to serve in the army?

He... doesn't know what the relationship between him and Mr. Ye is?"

Ye Tianshui looked at him and asked:

"Secretary Wang, there are several soldiers from your own commune. You should know them and their families, right?

Soldiers are defending the country, and local officials should pay more attention to their families and parents.

If they have any difficulties, try our best to help them solve them in time.

Yi Haiping is a soldier I like very much. He performed very well in the army.

I came to Meihua County to bring him a letter from home, and it was just the right time for me to visit his parents and family on his behalf."

What Ye Tianshui said was true, but saying it now was obviously to support Yi Haiping.

He knew that many soldiers who came from poor areas came from poor families.

As the county magistrate, Wu Pingtao did not have enough time to take care of these matters. The most important thing was to gain the attention of the commune cadres and the brigade cadres.

Ye Tianshui was also indirectly reminding Wang Guangrong to pay more attention to the families of soldiers.

After Wang Guangrong understood Ye Tianshui's words, his expression suddenly changed and his eyes flickered.

"Mr. Ye, you are right. You are right. It is our responsibility to care about the families of martyrs.

Are we going now? County Magistrate Wu, Mr. Ye, you see, it will be lunch time in just over an hour.

Otherwise, you can go to our commune for a visit and some guidance first. I have asked someone to arrange meals.

After we have eaten, I will personally send someone to deliver the letter to Yi's house, and it will be delivered safely.

There is some melting snow today, and the road is not easy to walk on. Master Ye, you... I thank you on behalf of the Yi Haiping family!"

He wiped his nose and looked away.

Ye Tianshui clearly saw his hands shaking.

My heart tightened, something was wrong!

Wang Guangrong openly invited the leaders to give him guidance and have dinner, but it seemed like he was blocking them from going to Yi Haiping's house!

He immediately said to Wu Pingtao:

"Brother Tao, we have wasted too long, let's go to Wangjiaping Village.

Ah Hao, you take Ah Jun and go ahead, we will be there soon."

Lin Hao was exposed to Ye Tianshui's serious eyes, and he also noticed Wang Guangrong's unnatural expression and tone. Alarm bells suddenly rang in his heart, and he immediately responded:

"Ajun, let's go. County Magistrate Wu, let's go first!"

Chen Jun and Lin Hao spent the longest time with Ye Tianshui, and just a glance from him was enough for them to understand what he meant.

The two men left quickly on the snow and mud.

Wang Guangrong wanted to stop him but didn't dare to reach out, so he immediately said in a low voice apologetically:

“I’m sorry, County Magistrate Wu, I have some urgent matters to deal with in my commune, so I can’t accompany you.

I will treat you well next time."

He also wanted to leave in a hurry, but was stopped by Ye Tianshui:

"Secretary Wang, what big deal can you have? Is there anything more important than accompanying County Magistrate Wu?

Since you are here today, please lead the way."
