As Zeng Xianqiao said, Yunzi County Party Secretary Ma Xiangguo has been busy looking for relationships these days. The purpose is to settle the possible harm caused by Chen Kangjie and the two reporters.

Since Chen Kangjie and the others escaped, Ma Xiangguo, who had a keen sense of smell, smelled a dangerous smell, especially after leaders from the Provincial Public Security Department and the Provincial Government Office called to put pressure on him, the dangerous smell became stronger and stronger.

In the officialdom, there is a saying that people who can climb up are behind people. This means that when a person reaches a certain level, it requires some connections. On the other hand, some connections can be introduced that some people cannot climb up because they have no support.

Ma Xiangguo can be the county party secretary with the highest value at the level of the department, and he is in charge of the development and lifeline of hundreds of thousands of people. Like most department-level cadres, his main relationship is concentrated at the local and department level, that is, the Tongxiang area. However, this does not mean that he does not know people in the province. After all, he will be in the department level next, and what he needs is to make a decision in the province.

Ma Xiangguo was only one day later than Chen Kangjie when he arrived at the provincial capital. After thinking about it and arranged the work in the county, he only took Secretary Fu to the provincial capital for business. Of course, as for what business, meetings or projects were held? If he didn't say it, no one would ask blindly. The authority of the top leader cannot be desecrated. Only when they leave for a long time or go abroad can they explain it to their superiors.

After arriving in the provincial capital, Ma Xiangguo first found two good classmates when he was studying at the Provincial Party School. The relationship between them was stronger than him. One was in the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department and the other was in the Provincial Finance Department. Both of them had already climbed to the deputy department level. They were truly of high power.

In order to handle the relationship with these two classmates, Ma Xiangguo has put in a lot of time. He has walked frequently since the day he met. Every time he went to the provincial capital for a meeting or a business, even if he didn't invite two people to dinner, he would still give him some so-called "local specialties". The relationship between them became unusual. Smart people would plan in advance in this way, and there would be no future for cramming for a while.

In the past, when I went to the provincial capital, Ma Xiangguo, a classmate from the Provincial Finance Department, paid more attention to Ma Xiangguo. He seemed to be more respectful to the God of Wealth. It was precisely because of the help of this classmate that Yunzi County received funds from the province in a timely and sufficient manner. However, this time, Ma Xiangguo focused on the newly promoted deputy minister of the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department.

Xu Shaosi was the director of the Press and Publication Department of the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department. This time he was promoted to deputy minister, which was related to his appreciation from the new minister who took office six months earlier than Liu Hongjun. Although Xu Shaosi ranked last among the members of the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department, no matter what, this critical step has come. To climb this step, it is still difficult for the provincial party committee to support the Standing Committee without any support.

At this time, Ma Xiangguo focused on Xu Shaosi. On the one hand, the issue to be dealt with is that in terms of media, the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department has a relatively speaking and influence. The Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department not only can be said in terms of cultural propaganda within the province, but out of the need for cooperation, they also have some influence on the central news media. On the other hand, Ma Xiangguo hopes to deepen the relationship with Minister Li Moyan, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.

Ma Xiangguo and Li Moyan had dated and met him during a meeting in the province. Li Moyan also had a deal when he went to Tongxiang area to inspect and guide his work. However, this relationship was relatively shallow and not deep enough, so he hoped that Xu Shaosi could help.

In the study at Xu Shaosi's home, Ma Xiangguo did not avoid the trouble he encountered. Since he asked for help, he should not hide it. This would cause misunderstandings. After listening to Ma Xiangguo's full story, Xu Shaosi did not express his opinion, but fell into deep thought.

"Shaosi, you must help your brother this time, otherwise I will fall into trouble this time." Ma Xiangguo put 100,000 yuan on Xu Shaosi's desk and said with a bitter face.

"What are you doing? Take it back, take it back, are we two still using this?" When we saw that it was money, Xu Shaosi waved his hand and pushed it out.

In the past, Ma Xiangguo had not given Xu Shaosi money. There were often statements for those with 3,500 yuan. However, those have become shopping cards or other alternatives in several shopping malls in the provincial capital. The money was spent by Xu Shaosi's wife and daughter, and only some items were collected by Xu Shaosi himself. This was the first time that Ma Xiangguo put the number of 100,000 yuan in front of Xu Shaosi, and he still couldn't accept it for a while.

Ma Xiangguo hurriedly reached out to block it, "Shaosi, you have to hold it, this is not for you. You think, if you want to accomplish this, you also need to move. I can't ask you to help me and pay out of my own pocket. That's too much for me."

After hearing what Ma Xiangguo said, Xu Shaosi stopped persevering and took back his hand.

If you say it was not given to you, that was the excuse of Ma Xiangguo. If the money was placed on your table, it would be given to you or others? This doesn’t make sense. But if Ma Xiangguo said this, it would be much easier for Xu Shaosi to accept it, and a lot of psychological pressure was removed.

"Prime Minister, tell you the truth. This matter is really a bit difficult to deal with. If it is really just two ordinary reporters, it would be easy. I also know a few people on the national TV station. I will find them to be comfortable with them. Maybe there will be some turning point. But you think, can it be simple for people to let Director Gao and Deputy Secretary-General call and release people? At least it means that there are people in the province and have a deep relationship." After knocking on his head, he glanced at the pile of red banknotes held in the newspaper, Xu Shaosi said in a little embarrassed manner.

"I thought of this too. I'll tell you, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have rushed to the provincial capital in a hurry." Ma Xiangguo said dejectedly, "Shaosi, you have a good relationship with Minister Li... Look... can I ask him for help?"

What Ma Xiangguo said was asking him if he could ask Li Moyan for help, but in fact he expressed something else. If he could speak from Li Moyan, would he still ask Xu Shaosi? And he admitted before that Xu Shaosi had a good relationship with Li Moyan. Isn’t it obvious that Xu Shaosi wanted to make a match? It’s just that he couldn’t speak too straightforwardly, so he just tactfully. It can be said that his 100,000 yuan was an introduction fee for Xu Shaosi.

In Ma Xiangguo's opinion, Li Moyan is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee at the vice-ministerial level. Even if the two reporters knew some people in the province, at most, they were at the vice-provincial level, and even whether they could join the Standing Committee. After all, the two people who called him were only at the deputy department level, which was not much higher than him. If Li Moyan, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, was also the Minister of Propaganda, was willing to help match it, then they should be able to compete with each other. The other party would give some face no matter what. It is not a life-and-death struggle in the officialdom, and few people would fight with their lives.

In order to understand Li Moyan's relationship, Ma Xiangguo was also ready for heavy bleeding, otherwise he would not have given Xu Shaosi 100,000 yuan at the beginning.

If you can truly enter Li Moyan's eye this time, it will be a bad thing that will turn a good thing into a good thing. Not only will the threat of reporters be eliminated, but it will also lay the foundation for his further promotion in the future. Ma Xiangguo believes that as long as Li Moyan is willing to help, with his connections that were originally the director of the News Bureau of the Propaganda Department, it is easy to settle two reporters, which is much easier than Xu Shaosi.

"Brother Prime Minister, since you have found me, I have to help you with this, but... I dare not say whether you can get Minister Li's approval. In the end, it depends on you." Xu Shaosi said the ugly words first.

Since he is not ready to give up this tempting 100,000 yuan, Xu Shaosi must do the work of making a matchmaking. But that's all he can do. He will not do it if he helps to take Minister Li. Don't let good things be done by then, and instead make a fuss, it will be unpaid. Xu Shaosi doesn't want to destroy his impression of Minister Li, after all, there is still a long way to go in the future.

"Shaosi, I understand, I understand. Brother is already grateful for what you can do this. Success or not, that is my fate. How can you take risks? Do you think so?" Ma Xiangguo said hurriedly with a smile on his chubby face.

In fact, Ma Xiangguo is not much older than Xu Shaosi, but in order to show closeness, he often regards himself as his brother. Xu Shaosi also lets his performance go with it, and does not show displeasure because he is now higher than him. Anyway, Ma Xiangguo is just like that verbally, and he still respects and humbles him in terms of his true attitude.

Xu Shaosi was very efficient in his work, so he arranged a dinner the next day. At this private dinner, Ma Xiangguo really caught Li Moyan's eyes.

In order to win Li Moyan, Ma Xiangguo really spent a lot of money. This time, he came to the provincial capital, Ma Xiangguo brought a total of 1.5 million, and 100,000 to Xu Shaosi. The remaining 1.4 million were all prepared for Li Moyan. Ma Xiangguo was determined to not be able to bear the wolves if he could save his position, he could still make money back after paying.

Although Xu Shaosi said verbally that he did not guarantee anything, he still did some work for the Ma Xiangguo beforehand, at least he had to make a foundation in advance and make a little noise. Otherwise, Li Moyan would think that the Ma Xiangguo was too abrupt, which would in turn affect him.

Ma Xiangguo took the time to go to the bathroom for a long time and stuffed the bank card worth more than one million to Li Moyan. Li Moyan was different from Xu Shaosi. He did not refuse, but pretended to be dizzy after drinking.
