Li Dakang took a deep breath and said slowly, "I was young once too, and I had my rebellious years. If I were still the me from ten years ago, I might not think about anything and move forward without hesitation.
But I can't do that now. From the moment I became a Party member, I have dedicated myself selflessly and will not let down the people!
Opening my eyes, closing them, four million common people from Jinshan County are looking at me with expectant eyes. I cannot drag my feet, nor can I have the slightest hesitation."
"But this... sigh, no matter how deep the feelings, they will be covered by long arguments, in the end..." He Zhou sighed softly.
It can be said that the issue between Li Dakang and Ouyang Jing is not simply a matter of love or not, but rather a serious divergence in their Faith and values over the course of their long marriage, which has led to the problem of their separation. Moreover, faced with a broken marriage, Li Dakang did not choose to compromise like Gao Yuliang and Wu Huifen, Qi Tongwei and Liang Lu. Faced with Ouyang Jing's final offer that violated his principles, he also chose not to compromise, but instead refused to negotiate with her at all.
"I am mentally prepared, but I have no regrets." As if to affirm his own feelings, Li Dakang nodded heavily. Even he couldn't figure it out. Clearly, he only had superficial conversations with Qi Tongwei, but why did he always feel a sense of familiarity.
He Zhou also nodded in agreement with Li Dakang's words.
It can be said that, in the political arena, only Li Dakang truly adhered to his original aspirations. Even if he ended up becoming 'living alone and lonely' because of this ambition, he never regretted it.
From the perspective of family and friends, Li Dakang may indeed seem cold and unfeeling. But from his own perspective, a person dedicated to the public interest is destined to be a solitary and proud figure. This is a rational and helpless choice.
But from beginning to end, he never regretted it.
"Never mind, why talk about these things? We can totally have other more worthwhile topics to discuss." Li Dakang realized, changed the subject, and didn't want to continue making a joke about Ouyang Jing's emotional issues in front of others.
He is a person who is not good with words, but excels in action. He never makes promises lightly, but once he does, he will do whatever it takes to fulfill them!
"By the way, I heard that Captain Qi is about to be promoted to the deputy director of the Economic and Technological Development Zones in the city?" Li Dakang flashed a hint of curiosity in his eyes, but there was no surprise at all, obviously having already confirmed the truth of this news from various sources.
"We're still going through the process," He Zhou didn't hide anything. The news had been circulating within the organization for a while now. A 23-year-old deputy director was quite eye-catching no matter where he was placed.
"Secretary Dakang, how is the current situation in Jinshan County?" He Zhou asked.
If Linzhou and Luzhou are considered important border towns, then Jinshan County is the most important among them.
As is well known, in areas where people of all ages are living in poverty on the border, economic development often suffers from insufficient investment due to international situations, international relations, and other factors. This leads to long investment payback periods, low output rates, and inadequate innate conditions, resulting in severe poverty.
Li Dakang has the ability to develop Jinshan County into a major border town, making it one of the top counties for several consecutive years, demonstrating his outstanding ability and strong political achievements.
If Gao Yuliang in "In the Name of the People" is the epitome of the highest realm of being a person, then Li Dakang is also the highest model of being an official, always a loyal minister.
As a crazy person for GDP, Li Dakang never hides his pursuit of GDP, but he also has his own constraints and principle, and he chooses to strive for genuine and transparent GDP through his own diligent efforts.
"Still very poor, especially since that incident happened, the pressure on my shoulders just got bigger, I can't sleep a wink all night, working day and night." Li Dakang sighed.
Even though he didn't explicitly say it, I believe the other party also knows what's going on. The big mess that happened a few years ago caused a sensation and left a deep impression on many people.
He Zhou moved his mouth and said, "What about Yi Secretary and Deputy County Mayor Wang?"
" Yi Xuexi has been transferred to Daokou County as a deputy, and Wang Dalu is said to have directly bid farewell to Officialdom and chosen to go into business." Li Dakang interlocked his hands, with his elbows resting on the table, looking somewhat complicated.
He Zhou nodded, so in fact, it's equivalent to Yi Xuexi being demoted by one level, while Wang Dalu felt disheartened and chose to say goodbye.
On the surface, the consequences don't seem too serious, but in reality, in an environment where one can only move up and not down, being demoted by one level is actually a very serious punishment, representing a profound issue.
The demotion is just superficial. A deeper perspective reveals that it's actually a way of saying "this is the end."
This major stain is the reason why Yi Xuexi has been on the sidelines for over 20 years. Even with outstanding performance, there is no possibility of further promotion.
It can be said that, Yi Xuexi, not moving for 20 years is actually also consistent with the organization's rules of using people, although it didn't fall into a written record, yet it can't be said to target him personally.
However, in terms of their relationship, Li Dakang's behavior makes one wrinkle their brows.
When an official died while raising funds for road construction, Li Dakang was more capable of changing the appearance of Jinshan and leading everyone, including Yi Xuexi and Wang Dalu, without any complaints or regrets, they took the blame for him.
Their actions resulted in the continuation of Li Dakang's political life and his subsequent rise to prominence.
If this kind of thing happened to Qi Tongwei, then I guess Yi Xuexi and Wang Dalu would have soared to great heights because of this deep friendship. Those who have truly helped Qi Tongwei will definitely receive rewards far beyond expectation.
Of course, it is also possible that Qi Tongwei will use his power to seek personal gain, which to a certain extent violates party discipline and national laws, ultimately causing harm to everyone involved.
This possibility also exists, and it is quite significant.
However, what about Li Dakang? His attitude towards these two close friends is so cold that it feels chilling!
Yi Xuexi After more than 20 years of moving around and changing many positions, he has always been at the county level.
He has indeed tried to find Li Dakang, but the reality is that Li Dakang always treats him well, but never gets things done. Not only does he not get things done, he is unwilling to speak a good word for him or a fair word.
In the end, Yi Xuexi and Li Dakang hardly had any contact with each other.
Although Yi Xuexi claimed not to blame Li Dakang, it was hard to believe that there was no resentment or grudge in their heart, not even to themselves.
And as for Wang Dalu, Li Dakang holds great power, but has never opened a door of convenience for him.
Due to Ding Yizhen's behind-the-scenes manipulation in the Guangming Peak Project, Wang Dalu only wanted to report to Li Dakang and fight for a fair opportunity. However, Li Dakang sternly warned him to take the main road and not think about taking shortcuts.
Even when divorcing Ouyang Jing, Li Dakang firmly rejected Ouyang Jing's final request to hand over the Guangming Peak Project to Wang Dalu, asserting, "Jingzhou's person in charge will never engage in any business dealings with any businessman!"
Li Dakang trusts no one but himself and would rather live alone and lonely than engage in corrupt practices for personal gain.
