Huang Xingnong took leave on the second day after Li Wei took office, saying that he was going to Qinxi to see a doctor. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knew that he was helping Guo Junpeng and others to run a case.
He Xiaoju said: "It seems that Mayor Huang is very unhappy. He heard that the case of Guo Junpeng and his gang had already been pronounced, but someone posted it online and there were changes."
Li Wei didn't seem to care about this and said calmly: "That's right."
He Xiaoju sensed that Li Wei didn't want to talk about this, so she smiled and said, "I came here to inform Secretary Li that the county committee office has informed that tomorrow morning the county committee will study the planning issues of the Golden New City, and you and Mayor Huang will be present."
Li Wei suddenly became interested: "So the construction of the new city is about to begin, which is a good thing."
He Xiaoju said: "The leader will see if there is anything else that needs to be prepared. I will prepare it."
Li Wei thought for a while and said: "There is nothing to prepare."
He Xiaoju reminded: "Generally speaking, when leaders first take office, they have to visit relevant leaders in the county. Do you think you should prepare some local specialties or something? This is also a common practice."
Li Wei smiled. Generally speaking, after a leader takes over a new position, he has to thank the superior who promoted him. This is a common practice in the officialdom. Once he is transferred from the director to the town party committee secretary, it is not considered a promotion. For some people,
Maybe he thought he was being demoted. Secondly, it was Secretary Liu who was in charge of this matter. It would be weird if he didn't get scolded by him if he offered something to thank him.
Li Wei shook his hand and said: "No need, no need."
He Xiaoju glanced at Li Wei and thought to herself: Is this guy a rookie who doesn't even understand the rules of officialdom, or does he have a strong background and doesn't need to visit his superiors at all?
He Xiaoju said: "When are you going to leave? I'll tell the driver Xiao He to prepare the car."
Li Wei said: "I drove a car when I came, so I won't bother the driver Xiao He. When you notify Mayor Huang, ask him if he wants to go with me or bring the car by himself? How do you want to go with me?
Let’s go, let him prepare. We will set off at six o’clock in the afternoon. The road is not good, I’m afraid I will miss something if I leave tomorrow.”
He Xiaoju responded and went out.
After a while, she came over and replied that Mayor Huang said he would take the car with him and meet him at the county committee tomorrow.
Li Wei smiled and said nothing. This Huang Xing family seemed to be a very face-saving person. He might think that taking Li Wei's car was a bit pricey. Originally, Li Wei wanted to communicate with him about the new city planning in the car. It seemed that he
There was no intention of communicating with him at all, so Li Wei would naturally not rush to communicate with him. He would see what the leader wanted tomorrow.
Li Wei set off at six o'clock, and it was already dark when he arrived at the county seat. He hadn't entered the house for eight or nine days, so he didn't notify Fang Xinran and a group of friends. He returned home, had a conversation with his parents, and went to bed early.
The next day, Li Wei came to the county party committee early. Lang Le, director of the county party committee office, was very enthusiastic when he saw Li Wei. He invited Li Wei into his office, offered cigarettes and poured tea, and finally said that he had a friend in
Huang Ling was the office director and asked Li Wei to take care of him. Li Wei thought of the rumor that He Xiaoju was Lang Le's mistress and didn't know if it was true. He nodded and said, "Director He is a good person and quite capable."
Lang Le glanced at Li Wei and said sadly: "You may have heard rumors that He Xiaoju is my mistress. In fact, that is not the case. How should I put it? She is my high school classmate and I sympathize with her very much."
We had a good conversation about each other, but now, we can only be called confidante."
Li Wei glanced at Lang Le and understood that he was telling the truth. Nowadays, it is not easy for men and women to maintain such a pure relationship. These two people are indeed rare.
Li Wei said: "I heard that Director He had a very good relationship with Mayor Jiang's son Jiang Ruochen back then, and almost became Mayor Jiang Jin's daughter-in-law. What happened that caused them to break up?"
Lang Le smiled bitterly and said: "I also find this very strange. At that time, Xiao Ju was the vice principal of the party school and Jiang Ruochen was the captain of the criminal police team. They had a really good relationship. Mayor Jiang was also very satisfied with her, but suddenly
They broke up soon, and He Xiaoju was transferred out of the county and assigned to Huangling. I also asked her out of curiosity, and she said you'd better not know about this, otherwise you'll be in trouble.
"
Li Wei said: "With Director He's personality and ability, how could he stay in the position of director for six years?"
Lang Le said: "People speculate that she was sent to Huangling because she offended Mayor Jiang. If Mayor Jiang's power is at its peak, who would dare to promote her?"
Li Wei smiled and said: "Then you still dare to get so close to Director He, so you are not afraid of affecting your future?"
Lang Le said: "In life, there are things you can and must do. Even if I lose my future because of her, I will accept her as a confidante."
Li Wei didn't expect that Lang Le, who looked very slippery, was actually a love interest, which somewhat impressed him.
The two chatted for a while about interesting official things. Director Lang looked at his watch and said, "It's almost time, let's go there."
When the two entered the conference room, Mayor Huang Xing's family had already arrived. Li Wei walked over and sat down on the seat next to him. The two nodded at the same time as a greeting.
At this time, several members of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee came in one after another, and several people who were familiar with Li Wei asked: "Li Wei is here." or "Secretary Li is here."
Li Weidu stood up politely and agreed without further conversation. The meeting room of the County Party Committee Standing Committee is a very serious place and is not suitable for chatting.
Only Deputy Secretary Wang Yongmin came in and said, "Secretary Li and Mayor Huang are here?" This was regarded as a greeting to the Huang Xing family.
This comparison made Huang Xing's family a little disappointed.
At nine o'clock sharp, Secretary Liu and County Magistrate Chi came in at the same time while talking, without saying hello to anyone. Secretary Liu announced the meeting and said that today's topic was about the planning of the Golden New City, so the party and government leaders of Huangling Town were asked to
Also attended the meeting.
This standing committee meeting was convened at the initiative of Luo Yufei, leader of the leading group for the preparation of the new city, the executive deputy county magistrate, so he spoke first.
He first reported to the Standing Committee the progress of the preparations for the construction of the new city. At present, Liancheng Group's first-phase funding of one billion yuan has been in place, and the mining machinery factory and gold smelting plant have broken ground. Its promised infrastructure construction funds of 400 million yuan have already been spent twice.
After the county magistrate Luo went to Beijing to fight for the 600 million yuan that the government needed to match, it was basically secured. The urgent task now is the planning of the new city.
Luo Yufei said that since he is building a brand new city, he must build it into a modern town with complete functions and complete supporting facilities that will not lag behind for at least fifty years. Therefore, he plans to hire nationally renowned urban planning experts.
Xia Ruoyu's team came to complete the design work and had already had preliminary contact with them. The design fee proposed by the other party was 15 million yuan. Such a large amount of money had to be funded from the government's matching funds, so it was proposed.
Standing Committee discussion.
As soon as Luo Yufei finished speaking, Jiang Gang, the Minister of Human Resources and Armed Forces, said disapprovingly: "Just draw a few drawings and make a model, and it's only 15 million, is it too outrageous?"
The new Propaganda Minister Jiao Peng came from the Hecheng Municipal Youth League Committee. He is relatively young and has a relatively liberated mind. He said with a smile: "In fact, urban planning is a very profound science. It not only needs to consider the current practical needs, but also
Predicting the scale of future development and leaving enough room for future development is not as simple as drawing a few pictures."
Wang Yongmin said: "How big is Huangling and how many people are there? To put it bluntly, this new city is a small town. How many small towns have we built in South China and where are we looking for people to plan it? I don't think there is any need to invite experts to plan it. Let's all work together.
Go and have a look on the ground. Just build a street there, build a shopping mall there, build a park there. Our design may not be much worse than the experts. I think it is better to save more than 10 million and give it to our county government to improve it.
Welfare."
The county party committee and government actually excluded him as deputy secretary from the construction of a new city, which was such a big piece of cake. His words obviously meant to cause trouble, but they captured people's greedy nature. Many people even agreed with County Magistrate Chi.
I prefer his statement.
Both groups hold their own opinions, and no one can convince the other.
Secretary Liu interrupted them with a smile and said: "Let's stop first and listen to what the two parents of Huangling have to say. Li Wei, you talk first."
Li Wei stood up and said: "People often say that lines are separated by mountains. Urban planning is a rigorous science. As Minister Jiao said, its core is the prediction of the future development of the city. We are all laymen when it comes to urban planning.
Based on our imagination alone, there will definitely be problems in the new city built. As for whether 15 million is more? I don’t think it is much. How much is the design fee for building a building now? It is 5% of the project cost.
Our investment in building a new city will definitely exceed one billion. Calculated at 5%, it will require at least fifty million, so I agree with County Magistrate Luo’s opinion."
Secretary Liu nodded, asked Li Wei to sit down, and said to Huang Xing's family: "Mayor Huang, please tell me too."
Huang Xingjia said: "Many of us build houses without asking experts to design them. Isn't it built? It is practical and beautiful. Now we need to build a small town, and we need money everywhere. The government's money is not abundant. I think we should be economical.
The principle is to save as much as you can, so I agree with Deputy Secretary Wang’s opinion.”
Another one to one.
Secretary Liu said: "On the issue of small town planning, everyone is arguing very fiercely. This is a good thing. It shows that everyone is thinking seriously about this matter. But should we plan? Should we plan it ourselves or hire experts to plan it? Spend a thousand dollars
Is it worth spending five million to hire experts for planning?
In the final analysis, this matter is still a matter of concept. The party and the country have proposed the concept of the Scientific Outlook on Development. How can it be scientific? This is also a question that needs to be explored. It is also a question of concept. If the concept problem cannot be solved,
There is no conclusion to the argument.
So, I suggest that we go and visit a place together for now, and after the visit, let’s discuss it again, okay?”
Everyone agreed, but they didn't know what Secretary Liu wanted to show them.
