Cao Zhiyong and his team were waiting for the fork in the road. After waiting for more than an hour, they finally waited for County Mayor Dai and his team. However, different from what they expected, County Mayor Dai and his team came with a car, and there were only drivers, secretary and county government office director Hu Ainong. It can be said that it was a light car. If Hu Ainong had not rolled down the window glass and poked his head out to greet Cao Zhiyong and the others, Cao Zhiyong and the others would have not realized that County Mayor Dai had arrived.

No wonder Cao Zhiyong and the others were so slow. You should know that in the past, county leaders had to come to investigate, at least three or four cars. In addition to county government staff, some leaders of the bureau would come down with them. Without any momentum of being in a row, how could they show the status of the leader?

County Mayor Dai’s full name is Dai Yuli. He was originally a teacher. Because he was well-written, he was appreciated by a city leader by chance and became the leader secretary. From then on, he entered the career of the officialdom. However, his career was not so smooth. After being secretary for the city leader for several years, the city leader was transferred away, but he did not take Dai Yuli away. Obviously, Dai Yuli, who is too square, is not so pleasing to the city leader. However, after Dai Yuli has been with him for a few years, he is somewhat in love. Before leaving, the city leader let Dai Yuli go out to a poor town below to be the township head.

If Dai Yuli could be transferred with that city leader, then as long as he survived for a few more years, he would at least go to a deputy county-level position. The starting point was much higher, and the development would naturally be much better. Now everyone knows that Dai Yuli was actually abandoned by the city leader. In the past, those who wanted to use Dai Yuli to get along with the city leader and spared no effort to please him and make friends with him began to alienate him. They all believed that with Dai Yuli's character of being a scholarly spirit, without the city leader as a backer, he would definitely not go far in his career.

However, Dai Yuli was not discouraged by the alienation of the people. Instead, he seized this rare opportunity to stand alone, took root at the grassroots level, and worked selflessly, and soon opened up the situation. After three years as a township chief, he made the township he worked in removed the title of poor township. The GDP jumped from the last in the county to the third in the county, and the per capita income jumped to the first in the county. Dai Yuli became the "capable township chief" in everyone's eyes.

Just when Dai Yuli's career showed a good upward momentum and had great hope of going further, his upright and bold personality made trouble again. Because he was transferred to the then county party secretary to the county archives bureau to be the idle deputy director, it was equivalent to sitting on the cold board. He sat on the bench for five years. Just when everyone thought that Dai Yuli's career had no hope of falling silent, he did something that surprised everyone! He published a signed article in the provincial internal journal "Urbanization must be adapted to local conditions, otherwise it will be a disaster"!

In recent years, the country has been vigorously promoting urbanization construction. In particular, Jiangnan Province has been named a benchmark for urbanization construction in the country because Duan Zetao, who was once the mayor of Xingzhou, promoted the first pilot project of urbanization construction in the country (see the first part of my trilogy "From the Start"). All cities and cities regard urbanization construction as the supreme recipe for promoting economic development, blossoming everywhere, and carrying out urbanization construction in full swing. At this time, someone came out to openly sing the opposite tune, which undoubtedly became the target of public criticism.

So Dai Yuli's article caused a stir as soon as it was published. When everyone found that the author of the article was just a grassroots cadre sitting on the bench, the opponents were less concerned. They pointed out that the purpose of Dai Yuli's article was to deliberately be innovative and attract attention, saying that he was a stumbling block on the road to reform. Almost everyone wanted to step on Dai Yuli a few times so that he would never turn over. Some important leaders even immediately expressed their intention to punish him.

Just when everyone thought Dai Yuli was in trouble, he suddenly came to work. Among the senior cadres of Jiangnan Province, there were still many visionary people. They had realized some of the disadvantages of promoting urbanization construction and began to consciously slow down the pace of promoting urbanization construction. The article published by Dai Yuli also made him into the eyes of a senior executive in the province. Not long after, Dai Yuli was transferred to the province and became the deputy chief clerk of the Provincial Party Committee Policy Research Office.

Although Dai Yuli was not promoted in the administrative level this time, he was still only at the level of a section and could not be considered a high promotion, with a large platform like the Provincial Party Committee Policy Research Office, his ability has more room to be developed. His experience as a village head gave him a lot of knowledge about grassroots work. His five years on the bench allowed him to accumulate profound theoretical knowledge and soon emerged. He published important articles in the provincial internal journals many times, and the introduction of several major reform measures in the province was related to him.

There is another greater benefit of working in the Provincial Party Committee Policy Research Office, which is that it gives Dai Yuli the opportunity to contact senior provincial leaders. Don’t underestimate this opportunity. How many cadres are looking for? If the provincial leaders don’t know that there is someone like you, where will you get the promotion opportunity? On the contrary, as long as you get a chance to get a promotion from the provincial leaders, isn’t it a matter of time sooner or later?

The opportunity came soon, and Gucheng County was short of the county magistrate. Although Gucheng County is a poor county, it is not small, but it is famous because Gucheng County has rich tourism resources. Not only Jiangnan Province, but many people know that there is such a place, but apart from the tourism industry, Gucheng County is not good at other industries, so it has never been able to get rid of the label of a poor county and has played a good handful of cards. This makes the province and city very dissatisfied with the current leadership team of Gucheng County. This time, Gucheng County was short of the county magistrate. If there was a provincial leader, Dai Yuli thought of Dai Yuli. Dai Yuli had a solid economic theoretical foundation and broad thinking. It was just right to use Gucheng County's touchstone to test whether he had the ability to take charge of the place.

So Dai Yuli finally turned over and became the new county magistrate of Gucheng County. Dai Yuli also knew that the appointment of Gucheng County County was an important test for him by the provincial leaders, so he naturally tried his best to make some achievements for the provincial leaders. He proposed a number of reform measures at the beginning of his tenure, requiring all county government cadres to change their work style, not engage in formalism, and fight the battle against poverty.

So today Dai Yuli saw Cao Zhiyong and others mobilizing troops to welcome him at the fork in the road, and his expression was very bad. He repeatedly refused to engage in formalism, but the leadership team of Dazhang Town was still working on the way to welcome him and see him. Isn’t this a way to treat his words as a breeze? You can imagine that he came to Dazhang Town for investigation today. What he could see was the "flowers" that Cao Zhiyong and others deliberately let him see after whitewashing the peace. It is difficult to understand the real situation.
