When Chen Taizhong heard that Yang Qianqian was silent, he turned to look at her. The street lights passing quickly outside the car window cast bright or dark mottled light and shadow on her face, but it was fleeting. Her expression... was indistinguishable.
"Red light, what are you looking at?" Finally, Yang Qianqian couldn't stand his gaze any longer, and pointed forward, "Please, Taizhong, if you want to drive, drive well. I'm still young, and I don't want to be unlucky with you.
"
"Look at how brave you are," Chen Taizhong braked and turned around to look at Yang Qianqian carefully. The street lights at the intersection shone diagonally, making her long eyelashes appear to be extraordinarily long and densely arranged.
A few lines are shaking slightly.
"I said you're not done yet?" Yang Qianqian waited for a while and saw that the red light had not yet turned green. She finally couldn't stand the unscrupulous scrutiny and turned around to face each other fiercely, "Are you looking at the road or at me?
"
"I found you look pretty today," Chen Taizhong didn't feel dissatisfied at all. He chuckled and pointed at the tight-fitting and lengthened bright yellow sweater she was wearing. "This color suits you very well. Your skin is white. Wearing this will make you look better."
It looks whiter and more elegant.”
He said this, but he was a little disapproving. Jing Ziling dared to ask his friends to drive a Lincoln car and cause a car accident. You actually doubted my skills? I feel so chilled, Qianqian, is this how you treat your old classmates?
However, Yang Qianqian was very pleased with the flattery. She nodded with a smile and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Then I won't wear this when I go out with you next time, so as to prevent the driver from not paying attention to driving."
"The key is that it's tight, so what...forget it. I won't say it anymore," Chen Taizhong was still talking frivolously. When he saw Yang Qianqian, he glared at her, and he panicked and put the gear in gear and kicked the accelerator. "The light has changed. Sit tight.
…”
The Lincoln car passed through the intersection quickly, and Yang Qianqian's face became colorful again. To be precise, it changed in grayscale. After a long time, she sighed, "Taizhong. You are already a deputy. It doesn't matter to us."
, be careful if you joke with outsiders."
"Other than you, who else deserves me to praise her?" Chen Taizhong snorted coldly, focusing on driving, "By the way, Qianqian, let your godfather approve some money, is that okay?"
At this moment, I finally met this guy. Of course, he would not praise someone for no reason. Or even if he did, he would just say it in one or two sentences. It is conceivable that he would deliberately greet someone like this.
Know the land.
Yang Qianqian was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook her head and replied lightly, "Actually, you can just find my godfather directly now. You don't have to go through me... He appreciates you very much."
"I don't care about his appreciation," Chen Taizhong drove the car attentively. "It's best if you can help me ask first."
Hearing this, Yang Qianqian was not angry. On the contrary, she showed a hint of a faint smile. However, she snorted coldly, "Humph, I am unlucky to have a classmate like you.
Alas, I have to be told by my godfather again."
She was happy. Of course, Chen Taizhong had not forgotten the friendship between classmates. Taizhong liked to find Mayor Duan through her. The relationship between the two people would gradually become known to everyone. Of course, it was just a very pure and pure classmate relationship.
She knew in her heart that he did have the power to approach Duan Weihua directly, and Mayor Duan really appreciated him. However, she felt a little disappointed when she thought that her godfather could communicate directly with him and she would eventually become dispensable:
In that case, will my position in Classmate Chen's heart become less important?
As she was thinking about it, she actually felt that her face was getting a little hot. She took out her cell phone and turned to look at Chen Taizhong who was concentrating on driving. "Is it about the decoration of the Science and Technology Commission?"
Chen Taizhong nodded, did not speak, but concentrated on driving. He did not want to get too close to Duan Weihua, so as not to be labeled as "Duan Ji". Others were not worthy of being his boss, and he did not want to get too close to a certain faction.
Being plotted out of nowhere.
Yes, he thinks this is good for now, he can move among various factions with ease, and he can look at all living beings with a cold eye more objectively.
Of course, this is just his wishful thinking. As everyone knows, there are some things that are difficult to get rid of once you get your hands on them, and even if you get rid of them, it may not be something to be thankful for. It corresponds to the poem "You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, look at the scenery"
People are watching you upstairs; the bright moon has decorated your windows, and you have decorated other people's dreams.
When Duan Weihua received Yang Qianqian's call, he pondered for a moment, "The Science and Technology Committee wants money for decoration? Tsk, don't you have the budget? Oh... forget it, tell Xiao Chen and ask him to call me tomorrow."
"He's right next to me," Yang Qianqian chuckled, "Godfather, is Brother Yuxuan here? I'll invite him to sing together."
"He went out to play." Duan Weihua just wanted Chen Taizhong to answer the phone, but then he shook off the idea, "Haha, you two are having fun, that's it, hang up first..."
After putting down the phone, Mayor Duan thought about it, well, this Chen Taizhong didn't call me when he had something to do, but asked Qianqian to report it. This is not in line with the procedures.
It doesn't comply with the procedures. What does this mean? Does Ya not want to offend Zhang Yaodong and wants to have both sides, or does she mean to keep a distance from me? Duan Weihua started to think about it...
The next day, Chen Taizhong came to the Science and Technology Committee early in the morning and blocked Li Jian. "Director Li, I heard that you have application materials for our office renovation? Give me one."
"That is the renovation of the entire Science and Technology Commission office building," Li Jian looked at him in astonishment, "not just a part of it, the amount is quite large... more than 600,000."
"Six hundred thousand, let's just say six hundred thousand, oh," Chen Taizhong sighed, thinking that I was in the investment promotion office to get 300,000 event funds, and it was just lip service. Why did it end up like this here?
Got it? "Give me a copy and I'll talk to Director Wen."
Huh? You can get it for 600,000 yuan? Li Jian was a little stunned when he saw his expression. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Actually..."
"Actually what? Say it!" Chen Taizhong was a little annoyed by his hesitation.
"Actually..." Li Jian glanced at him and cleared his throat, "Ahem...Actually, we still have a budget to rebuild the Science and Technology Commission building. It has not been approved, and it is only more than six million."
"Go, go," Chen Taizhong almost lost his temper at these words. He waved his hand and looked at Li Jian dumbfounded, "You may not be able to approve much of these 600,000 yuan. It's better for you to think that the Finance Bureau is my home."
Is it open?"
Of course, that's what Li Jian said. After hearing Chen Taizhong's words, he began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find information. At this moment, Chen Taizhong noticed that the short and fat man in the office stood up and walked out.
Do you want to go out to send a message? He doesn't know who she is... He feels a bit like a Japs entering the village. Anyway, he can't distinguish all aspects of the people.
After finally finding the information, Chen Taizhong took a look and realized that it was from 1997. "Why is it from last year, not the year before last?"
"I type the report every year, but I can't approve it every year," Li Jian shook his head with deep feeling. Then he raised his head and smiled at him. "Director Chen, take a look at it. If there is no problem, let's go to the printing room and let Xiao Zhang come out.
, just change the time, she has the manuscript in her computer."
There are only two computers in such a large Science and Technology Commission headquarters. If you don't count the broken 286, the computer used by Director Wen is not as good as the computer in the printing room.
At about ten o'clock, Chen Taizhong arrived at the city hall. Duan Weihua just came back from a meeting. He picked up the pages and flipped through them, "Six hundred and thirty thousand? Extra budget... If you go through special approval, it's
Isn’t it a bit much?”
"I think two hundred thousand is enough," Chen Taizhong said as he thought. "It's just four directors and five rooms in the office to decorate, then buy some office supplies, work on high-tech projects, and create a facade. That's all I want."
Is it over?"
"Two hundred thousand is not too much," Duan Weihua nodded, hesitated, and moved his hand to Liu Min, "Xiao Liu, take him to Vice Mayor Guo and see if Guo Yu can approve it."
Guo Yu was the new executive deputy mayor and was in charge of the economy. When he saw Liu Min coming in with someone, he nodded with a smile and said, "Secretary Liu, what's going on?"
"Oh, this is Deputy Director Chen of the Science and Technology Commission," Liu Min said in a serious tone. She knew that Duan Weihua wanted to bring Chen Taizhong here by himself, that is, to help, otherwise Chen could just come by himself. "I happened to meet him.
Yes, he doesn’t know the room, so I’ll bring him here.”
He doesn’t know the room, and he doesn’t have a mouth under his nose? Guo Yu has also been the deputy mayor for six years, what has he never seen? Of course he knows that Liu Min is here to support people, and the force of the support is quite strong, so
He nodded to Chen Taizhong, "Deputy Director Chen, you are very young, haha."
Chapter 638: The new executive deputy mayor Liu Min smiled and said hello and turned away. Guo Yu also smiled at her. However, as soon as she left, deputy mayor Guo's face sank and he looked up and down.
Looking at Chen Taizhong, he asked seriously, "Deputy Director Chen...what's the matter?"
Damn it, you can't see the paper in my hand? Chen Taizhong said angrily in his heart, but who asked him to ask for help? He could only smile and said, "Well, the house of the Science and Technology Commission is too old. I want to
Give it a refurb…here’s the report.”
Looking at the report handed over by Chen Taizhong, Guo Yu hesitated for a moment, as if he was debating whether to accept it or not, but finally reached out to accept it. The next moment he tilted his head and asked, "Why isn't your director named Wen here?
Is it you who is here?"
"I told Director Wen and he agreed, so I came." Chen Taizhong was a little tired. Damn it, you can't even ask to sit down? "I happen to be in charge of the business of the investment office. This is my duty.
matter."
"You are..." Guo Yu finally realized and looked at him in surprise, "Are you the deputy director of the Science and Technology Commission? Not the deputy director of the Science and Technology Commission Office?"
"Yes," Chen Taizhong nodded, "He is also the deputy director of the Investment Promotion Office."
"Oh, Guo Yu nodded thoughtfully, made a long sound in his mouth, and pointed to the sofa in front of him, "Oh, sit down... How old are you, Deputy Director Chen? Why do I look so young?"
"Just in his twenties," Chen Taizhong generously walked to the sofa and sat down. He didn't want to talk about his age, because he saw that Guo Yu was a little unhappy. It was okay if he didn't know just now. He knew that his brother had many roles.
Two deputy directors, and they are so young, can't you be more polite?
His answer made Guo Yu very dissatisfied. Twenty-one is also in his twenties, and twenty-nine is also in his twenties. Is this how you talk to the executive deputy mayor?
However, he did not show his dissatisfaction. Instead, he turned over the report brought by Chen Taizhong and took a brief look at it. "More than six hundred thousand... is a bit much. It's just spring. We need to save money financially."
Flowers."
"I can't decide on this matter." He shook his head. He put the report aside and looked directly at Chen Taizhong, but his eyes were relatively blank. "The number is too big. A smaller number can be considered. Otherwise, we can wait until the time is right."
Let’s discuss it at the next meeting.”
In fact, he didn't even want to raise his head, but thinking that this person was brought by Liu Min, he probably represented Duan Weihua's intention. Moreover, this guy was a bit too young. It's hard to tell what happened, so he was so lazy.
The ground raised its head.
"Can't we allocate part of it first? We are anxiously waiting to use it," Chen Taizhong sighed, without avoiding his gaze, "This year's investment recruitment task is heavy, and there are high-tech projects... The Science and Technology Commission is really ugly."
"Part of it?" Guo Yu sneered in his heart. Don't show off this kind of trick in front of me. As long as you get started, you can get the rest of the money. "How much do you plan to ask for?"
"The top priority is the rooms and offices of the four leaders..." Chen Taizhong did not say that he would not want them in the future. Anyway, the more money he needs, the greater his face will be, right? "I estimate that two hundred thousand is enough."
Guo Yu pondered again, are you going to attend the meeting? Forget it, since you are new to a new position, it is better to be more cautious. It is necessary for a new official to establish his authority when he takes office, but someone whom Duan Weihua supports is not suitable for surgery.
He looked up at Chen Taizhong and shook the report in his hand, "I mean, I can only give you 300,000 yuan. Even if this report is like this, there will be no such funding project in the future. What do you think?"
"Hmm... Okay," Chen Taizhong heard that it was still an extra 100,000 yuan. He pretended to ponder for a moment, nodded with a smile, "Let's save some money."
Save some money? Guo Yu snorted in his heart. If Liu Min hadn't brought you here, your Science and Technology Committee wouldn't have gotten a penny. However, even so, he wouldn't let Chen Taizhong off easily.
.
"How about this, Xiao Chen," the next moment, his face became a little kinder and his tone became more relaxed, "You'd better report it to Mayor Wei Hua, otherwise, I'm afraid I'll still have to go to a meeting."
Chen Taizhong was really unfamiliar with asking for money. In the past, when he was in the investment promotion office, he could just ask Qin Liancheng if he needed money. Therefore, he really couldn't tell what Guo Yu meant, whether he wanted to give it or not.
Of course he refused to go to the meeting. Once the meeting was held, who knew it would be the Year of the Ox and the Horse? He was eager to get it now, so he could only nod his head, "Okay, I'll go find Duan Shi again."
long."
As soon as Duan Weihua heard what Chen Taizhong said, he understood that Guo Yu didn't want to take the lead, and he was not sure about the relationship between the two. Otherwise, how could he not be able to make the decision with only 200,000 yuan?
"Since he is willing to give you three hundred thousand, that's good," Duan Weihua laughed, took a pen and signed the report directly, "I agree to reduce the allocation by half, please forward it to Comrade Guo Yu for review."
When Guo Yu saw it, he had nothing to say, so he could only sign and ask him to go to the director of the Finance Bureau. The director followed suit and signed. Following this line, Chen Taizhong found Section Chief Gong of the Finance Department.
During the Chinese New Year, Gong Hua met Chen Taizhong at Duan Weihua's house. However, there were many people in Mayor Duan's house at that time, and Chen Taizhong was dragged into another room by Duan Weimin to talk, so he really had no impression of Chen Taizhong.
Already.
When he looked up and saw that the application for appropriation from the special financial account was from the Science and Technology Commission, he immediately frowned. He nodded impatiently and waved his hand twice, "Are the... procedures from the Science and Technology Commission complete? Okay, I understand.
Leave it here for now, and when I have the money, I will transfer it to you."
Ordinarily, if the procedures are complete, it will be a matter of time before we get the money. If we are a little impatient, we can just put this note and report here, and we can organize the construction when we get back. As for the construction funds... we have to wait until the funds are allocated.
But Chen Taizhong had an idea. The sooner he got the money, the sooner he got it, the more capable he would be, wouldn't it? Besides, he planned to do this construction himself, not because of the benefits in the picture, but... he
I was frightened by the bunch of poor people in the Science and Technology Committee.
Since he plans to personally handle the construction, he certainly doesn't want to be forced to collect debts. Does Luo Tianxian still need his dignity? There are a lot of triangular debts these days, but I don't do this, buddy.
"I said Section Chief Gong, I remember we talked about it during the Chinese New Year, right?" He was a little dissatisfied, "How do I know when you will have money? How can the Finance Bureau not have money now?"
"Huh? Have I seen you during the Chinese New Year?" Section Chief Gong immediately raised his head and looked at him with a little suspicion. His tone became much more polite, "Where have I seen you?"
"At Mayor Wei Hua's house, have you forgotten?" Seeing his alert look, Chen Taizhong found it a bit funny and wanted to tease him. However, considering that he was in a hurry for money, he had no idea and bared his teeth at him.
Xiaoxiao, "You were sitting on the sofa on the east side."
"Look at my memory." Section Chief Gong was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead, and his smile burst out like a tide, "Ha, I remembered, you went to talk to the Minister for the People, right?"
"That's right," Chen Taizhong nodded, and was quite surprised by this man's memory. He chuckled, "Chief Gong, our Science and Technology Committee is waiting for the rice to be cooked. Please, hurry up and allocate the money."
"Well..." Section Chief Gong's eyes rolled, he lowered his head and started to read the grant application, then flipped through the documents for applying for special approval, and looked up at Chen Taizhong, looking like he was hesitant to speak."
Just do whatever you want to do, it's my first time here." Chen Taizhong just thought that this guy wanted to ask for benefits, so he had to enter the country and hinted in a casual manner, "Anyway, I just want to be quick, and the sooner I can get the money, the better, but this is the rule
…I don’t quite understand, just tell me.”
"Haha, that's not what I meant," Gong Huaxin said. Those are all things for later. I'm worried about other things now. He hesitated for a moment and then spoke, "Well... what's your relationship with Mayor Wei Hua?"
?”
This was the first time that Chen Taizhong encountered someone asking him so nakedly about the relationship. This kind of question was too abrupt. However, Section Chief Gong's expression was quite sincere and he had a little smile on his face.
Seeing him like that, coupled with the previous change in attitude, Chen Taizhong couldn't feel any disgust at the moment. He just felt a little pitiful, so he couldn't help but laugh lightly, "Haha, it doesn't matter, it was just that day, at noon.
I had dinner at Mayor Weihua’s house.”
Gong Hua was stunned when he heard this. He knew very well that that day was Duan Weihua's family banquet, and it was also an open day for everyone to visit. Therefore, the Duan family was very lively that day. As long as you came to the door, the Duan family would welcome you.
Of course, the premise is that you can't bring too expensive gifts, otherwise you won't be getting close to Mayor Duan, but you will be giving eye drops. Even if Mayor Duan can let you go, the other guests present can't.
Do you think we are dead people? Can we come again in the future?
But having said that, Duan's house was open to receive people that day, but at noon, it was the family dinner of the three brothers and sisters of the Duan family, and even Mayor Duan's secretary Liu Min couldn't get to the table.
Of course, this is just a metaphor. Liu Min is the spokesperson of Mayor Duan. However, she also has a family and a family. Why did she go to Duan Weihua's house on the third day of the Lunar New Year? Even if she is visiting the leader, she should be back at noon.
