Liu Shisen didn't make a big fuss about it, he just nodded simply and said: "That's the situation." 。"
Everything is subtle, seemingly unintentional, yet it has already revealed important information. " 。Jiang Kui understood this very well. During the banquet, the most important information was always conveyed through seemingly trivial conversations. 。The difference is, will you listen, or won't you? 。High-ranking Jiang Kuang, how could he possibly not listen to this? He immediately raised the small wine cup in his hand and said: “Today, we are very fortunate that Liu, the director, and Fang, the minister, could visit Ninggan. Let us raise a glass of 'Jiangnan Spring' together to express our warm welcome to Director Liu and Minister Fang. We hope that Director Liu and Minister Fang will come to Ninggan more often, take a look around, and give us more guidance!” Liu Shisen smiled and said: “Where! Where! Secretary Jiang is too polite.” 。This cup of "Jiangnan Chun" really smells fragrant. 。"Liu Shisen had a bit of a dandy air about him. When he said this glass of wine smelled good, he actually sniffed it with his nose and let out an expression of bliss." 。Jiang Kuiqiang just laughed: "Then today, let's have a few more drinks!" Saying that, Jiang Kuiqiang clinked glasses with Liu Shisen, Fang Ya, and Gu Shujing, then drank it all in one go. 。
Seeing the secretary drink, others followed suit. 。As for Xiao Zheng not drinking, everyone just stopped paying attention and pretended they didn't see it. 。After sitting down, Jiang Kui turned to Shan Chuanbai, the deputy governor, and asked, "Governor Shan, how is the 1 billion yuan allocated for aiding Ning from Jiangzhong? Can we allocate some to Xihetou City and Baoyuan County? Just now, Director Liu also said that Baoyuan County wants to repair red sites and develop red tourism. These ideas are all very good." 。"If our province could support it, we should definitely support it. What do you think?"
Since the secretary had spoken, Shānchuān Bái had no reason to disagree. However, he had already divided up this piece of cake, so he said with some embarrassment: "Secretary Jiāng, originally it would be possible..." 。"...this sum of money has already been allocated, the focus is still on supporting key industries, key scenic spots, and key projects..."
Jiang Kuanggang didn't listen to him continue explaining, but asked: "Is the funding currently in our provincial finance, or has it been disbursed yet?" Shan Chuanbai replied: "It hasn't been disbursed yet. It will be disbursed after the government standing committee and the Provincial Committee Standing Committee meeting." 。“That’s good, let's discuss it again tomorrow. I’ll participate as well.” 。Today, Comrade Xiao Zheng doesn't need to go back. Let's attend the meeting together tomorrow. Secretary Gu is familiar with the situation in Liupanshan. He can join us tomorrow as well. I wonder if Secretary Gu is free?" Gu Cuiping nodded and said: "No problem, Secretary Jiang..." 。"Well then, let's not discuss work today. It's rare for Liu to visit us, we should have a good drink and enjoy ourselves!" 。The banquet continued, and Shan Chuanbai felt a burning resentment in his heart. Who exactly was this Liu Shisen? Why did his few words have such a profound impact on Jiang Qiang? Especially the 10 billion yuan in aid to Ninggan, which had already been arranged perfectly, now needed to be changed, which was really a headache! Shan Chuanbai truly felt uncomfortable drinking this meal!
As dinner was coming to an end, Provincial Secretary Jiang Qiang said to Minister of Propaganda, Li Deshu: "Minister Li, during Liu Shisen's few days in Ninggan, you must accompany him throughout the entire process." 。Li Deshu immediately said: "Yes, Secretary Jiang, please rest assured." 。Liu Shisen then said: “Minister Li, please don't keep me company. ” 。I prefer things to be more casual. It makes me uncomfortable when my boss accompanies me, it would be better if they just arranged a car for us. 。Besides, there's something else I need to report to Secretary Jiang. Teacher Yunqi is my good friend. He is a professor at Peking University, Tsinghua University, and China University of Geosciences. He likes to travel around the world for research work. This time, he came with me to Ningxia just to conduct some research-oriented investigations there. 。I really hope Secretary Jiang will agree. 。“
Of course!” Jiang Kui immediately stated, “Although Ninggan’s economy is not developed, its geology and topography are very distinctive. It spans the loess plateau and Inner Mongolia Plateau, with mountains like Helan and Liupan reaching for the sky. The Jiuqu Yellow River flows through it, and the red sandstone landscape burns like fire under the sky. It's definitely worth a good look for our geologists.” 。。“We welcome, we welcome” 。。Besides, before you go, I have to show you guys what I'm made of. That's a promise. 。Liu Shisen shook hands with Jiang Quigang: "Thank you, Secretary Jiang," 。"That's settled then!"
With dinner finished, everyone dispersed for the evening. 。Fang Ya, Liu Shisen, Yun Qi and others checked into the Yinzhou Hotel. Xiao Zheng and Jin Quan Sheng and others also stayed at the same hotel. 。Fang Ya originally wanted to invite Xiao Zheng to her room for a sit, but her cousin Liu Shisen said: "Fang Ya, come here to me." 。Fang Ya could only let Xiao Zheng go back first. 。Upon entering the room, Liu Shisen said: "Fang Ya, is there something wrong with Xiao Zheng? With so many leaders present today and everyone drinking, he's the only one who refuses to have a drink. " 。"Is this about clashing with your superiors, or is it about going against your own future?" Fang Ya said nonchalantly, "Don't look at him with ordinary eyes, and don't measure him by the standards of officialdom." 。He, he transcends all of that. 。Fang Ya said this because Xiao Zheng had once helped her cure her insomnia. She had witnessed the miracle on Baomin Mountain together with Xiao Zheng, and no one else knew about it!
Liu Shisen shook his head and said, "I really don't know what you're thinking" 。Don't tell me, you're actually interested in this little county party secretary? 。"Fang Ya corrected, "Cousin, you have two points wrong. First, although Xiao Zheng is only the county Party Secretary now, his future is limitless. You have to know that he went from a bullied small official in the township to the county Party Secretary position in just over four years." 。

Brother, if you don't study hard, he will soon surpass you.

。Second, I'm not interested in Xiao Zheng. I asked you to find an expert and come to Ninggan with me to repay a debt. 。I cured my insomnia in Baokuang Village, I have to do something for that impoverished village. 。“Well, you can say whatever you want,” said Liu Shisen. 。If you hadn't stayed with my mother in Huajing for a few days and made her so happy, I wouldn't have agreed to you coming to Ninggan. 。“Fang Ya smiled and said, “You know that already, cousin. We’re engaging in an equal trade here, neither of us owes the other anything! But to be honest, when Aunt was in Huajing, she did entrust me with something else…” 。"Liu Shisen frowned slightly, "What's the matter?" Fang Ya smiled and said, "Auntie, she still cares about your future, saying that I should find more opportunities to take you all over the country, between mountains, rivers and seas. She doesn't want you to stay in Huajing all day!"
"Oh!" Liu Shisen sighed, "My mother doesn't know what she's thinking. Isn't it good that I'm in Huajing and can accompany her every day?" Fang Ya said, "You'll have to ask Auntie if it's good or not." 。Okay, there's nothing else. I'll go back to my room first. 。Liu Shisen didn't stay with Fang Ya any longer. 。Fang Ya went back to her room and called Xiao Zheng: "Come to my room for a bit." 。Xiao Zheng's heart skipped a beat. If he went to Fang Ya's room, not to mention what might happen between them, his position as the male county magistrate going to the female propaganda minister's room wouldn't look good if anyone saw it. 。Moreover, he is now the county party secretary, responsible for leading Baoyuan County's poverty alleviation and development. His image in the hearts of cadres and the masses becomes particularly important. 。
