Fang Weijun originally wanted to call Liu Hongyi's office directly, but Liu Hongyi rarely stayed in the county party secretary's office. He didn't have that much time. Even many documents were carried by his secretaries. Secretary Liu would take the time to sign and approve during the ten-minute break between lectures.

The province's key officials are undergoing rotational training, a massive workload that hasn't been completed in a few months. Liu Hongyi estimates he'll likely have to teach for the entire year.

One day, Liu Hongyi was teaching his comrades when a young cadre from the county party committee's duty room rushed over, breathlessly, and said to Liu Hongyi, "Liu, Secretary Liu, it's a phone call... It's from the Provincial Party Committee General Office. Please answer it immediately..."

Liu Hongyi was slightly stunned, nodded, apologized to those "old students", and immediately rushed back to his office.

"Hongyi..."

Fang Weijun's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

The voice on the phone at this time was actually a little distorted, but Fang Weijun's anxiety was still clearly audible.

"Brother Fang, what's wrong?"

"Well, it's like this. Secretary Tai wants you to get ready and rush to Ningzhou immediately. Tomorrow morning, go to Beidu with him..."

Having said this, Fang Weijun paused and lowered his voice.

"Our report on the electrolytic aluminum project has caused great controversy in Beijing... I heard that Comrade Chen Keping got very angry and asked us what we really want to do in Zhennan... Why should we hand over such important mineral resources to foreigners for development?"

"A staff member from Comrade Chen Keping's office called Secretary Tai and asked him to go to Beidu immediately and explain the situation to Comrade Chen Keping in person. They even mentioned your name and asked you to come along."

"Also, Dean Qi Sen also called Secretary Tai and said that your Hope Project has also angered many veteran comrades. They say it's smearing the country, deliberately vilifying our grassroots education, and begging for food from foreigners..."

"President Qi Sen is very worried about you. Secretary Tai, please advise you not to take steps too quickly or too big... Many old leaders haven't fully changed their mindsets yet."

"Hongyi, you need to be mentally prepared for your trip to Beidu this time..."

Fang Weijun was really worried about Liu Hongyi.

As Tai Zhengyang's secretary, he and Liu Hongyi basically shared the same fate. Tai Zhengyang also told him frankly that after he left Zhennan, he wanted him to get closer to Liu Hongyi.

What he meant was that he had entrusted his future to Liu Hongyi.

Even though Liu Hongyi's current rank is the same as his, both are at the county level, Tai Zhengyang will definitely promote him to a deputy provincial or prefectural level cadre before he leaves office.

But in the long run, Liu Hongyi's development potential is far beyond Fang Weijun's reach. Even in the whole country, there are few people of the same age who can keep up with Liu Hongyi's development potential.

Behind Liu Hongyi stood countless provincial and ministerial leaders, and even higher-level super-bigwigs.

If Liu Hongyi fails in the electrolytic aluminum and Hope Project, it will inevitably affect his future development.

Liu Hongyi smiled and said, "Brother Fang, don't worry. It's not a big deal if the old leaders don't understand for the time being. There will always be other old leaders who will support us."

"We have no selfish motives, everything we do is to do our job better!"

Fang Weijun said, "That being said, I'm afraid they won't follow this path."

People didn't say you were selfish, they said you had a problem with your direction.

"It doesn't matter. No one can reverse the trend of history."

Having said that, Liu Hongyi was actually not at all nervous.

Yes, he was familiar with the general trend of history, but the problem was that there were ups and downs along the way, and many people suffered great harm in this process because of the prejudices of certain powerful figures.
