The "Sister Chang" mentioned by Peng Yuanzheng is Zhou Xishun's wife, Chang Meijuan. She used to work at the Provincial Academy of Social Sciences, but is now transferred to Xin'an with her husband to work as a teacher in the History Department of Jiangbei University.
Zhou Xishun was startled and said in surprise: "How do you know she has no class today? You kid, I think you have bad intentions!"
"Mayor Zhou, Sister Chang and I are also acquaintances... Next, we would like to ask Sister Chang to help us invite a group of experts and scholars from universities to help us make an overall plan." Peng Yuanzheng smiled.
He did not tell lies. He had had many contacts with Chang Meijuan before. It was not because Chang Meijuan was the wife of Mayor Zhou that he deliberately dated her; but because of Chang Meijuan’s father, Zhou Xishun.
My father-in-law is a well-known domestic scholar and an economics professor at Beijing University of International Business and Economics. He has made great achievements in the field of urban construction, development and planning and is considered authoritative. There are several overall plans for economically developed cities in the south, among which Professor Chang has contributed.
The essence of reform and opening up is to develop the economy. This process is actually also an urbanization process. Therefore, local economic development and urbanization promotion require a scientific and orderly overall planning and design. This is very important.
For the ambitious Peng Yuanzheng, the neighboring counties are just a blank piece of paper that he can use freely. But after all, he is not an expert in this field. Planning the urbanization pattern of a county based only on his personal preferences and perception lacks the power.
Reasonable. Therefore, he had long thought of inviting top experts like Chang Lao to "tailor-make" the development direction of neighboring counties.
But to be honest, academic elites like Chang Lao, who often go to Dahongmen to make theoretical suggestions for the central leadership’s decision-making, will not take action easily. Let alone a small county, they are a prefecture-level city.
You may not be able to get it.
Even when his son-in-law became the mayor of Xin'an, he only gave Zhou Xishun some advice behind his back and refused to serve as a development consultant to the government of Xin'an City.
Peng Yuanzheng knew it well. However, he did not expect Chang Lao to come forward in person. He just hoped to get the "support" of the people around Chang Lao.
…
Zhou Xishun was stunned when he heard this, and immediately burst into laughter, "You kid, you did a lot of tricks behind my back. I didn't even know that you still have a relationship with my wife... Well, it seems that you have planned this for a long time today."
I'll give you some face."
Peng Yuanzheng was very happy. He said softly: "Leader, I have sent a car to pick up Sister Chang. Let's meet at the foot of Phoenix Mountain.**"
"You kid..." Zhou Xishun smiled slightly and turned to look out the window.
How could he not know about the private relationship between Peng Yuanzheng and his wife, Chang Meijuan, and he was just pretending not to know. Recently, Chang Meijuan had been blowing pillows in his ears at home, and she had been talking to Peng Yuanzheng from the neighboring county.
He was full of praise. He said that this young man is mature, stable and very good at doing things.
The corner of Zhou Xishun's eyes passed by Peng Yuanzheng beside him. Only he knew in his heart that his wife was from a well-off family and was influenced by a strict tutor - an intellectual woman with a noble character and very reserved. He wanted to
Chang Meijuan can't be impressed by flattery and material temptations.
He has always been curious about how Peng Yuanzheng gained Chang Meijuan's appreciation.
In fact, Peng Yuanzheng "connected" with Chang Meijuan through Song Guo. At Jiangbei University, Song Guo and Chang Meijuan had similar personalities and hit it off. Peng Yuanzheng came to visit, but Chang Meijuan didn't "cold" at first.
——Song Guo helped make several dinner appointments, but Chang Meijuan didn't agree.
Chang Meijuan didn't know much about Peng Yuanzheng's background. She just regarded Peng Yuanzheng as one of those middle-level cadres in the city who came to build relationships through self-recommendations. There were too many such people, and Chang Meijuan was very annoyed.
But one time, she really couldn't refute Song Guo's face, so she met Peng Yuanzheng once, and the three of them had a meal together.
Peng Yuanzheng's gentleness, mature demeanor and full of talents left a deep impression on Chang Meijuan. Then, by chance, Chang Meijuan learned from Song Guo that Peng Yuanzheng's Tai Chi skills were very good.
She is well-known in the city and has even taught Tai Chi to a group of retired veteran cadres.
This greatly interested Chang Meijuan. Because her father, Professor Chang, was also a master of Tai Chi. As he got older, he used Tai Chi to maintain health. Not long ago, Professor Chang was invited from the capital to come to Jiangbei University to teach students at the School of Economics and Management.
The students gave a special lecture, and Chang Meijuan privately called Peng Yuanzheng to discuss with Mr. Chang.
Chang Lao admired Peng Yuanzheng's skills so much that he made an exception and agreed to take time to help a neighboring county develop an overall plan in the future. Peng Yuanzheng was so excited that he sent some relevant information about the neighboring county and his own opinions on the development of the neighboring county through Chang Meijuan.
Some opinions and understandings were collected into a book and passed on to Chang Lao.
With a common language, friendship naturally emerged. From the beginning to the end, Peng Yuanzheng did not make a "personal request for advancement in the officialdom" to Chang Meijuan. What he was talking about was still a matter of seeking help from Chang Lao, which was even more important.
Increased my liking for him.
Soon, Chang Meijuan learned that Peng Yuanzheng was the nephew of Executive Vice Mayor Meng Qiang - in her heart, her wariness and guard against him were completely eliminated. Over time, a personal relationship was established.
…
The person who drove Chang Meijuan here was Song Guo. Because they were all acquaintances, Chang Meijuan was willing to come out.
The two cars met at the entrance of Fenghuang Mountain Scenic Area. Song Guo and Chang Meijuan got out of the car and walked towards Zhou Xishun and Peng Yuanzheng.
"Sister Chang." Peng Yuanzheng took the initiative to say hello. Chang Meijuan smiled and pointed at him, "Yuanzheng, you went in such a big circle to bring me to Phoenix Mountain, just for a meal.
It's so unnecessary - stop talking, I've already come - but this place is really nice, with mountains and fields full of flowers and fresh air."
"Old Zhou, let me introduce to you. This is Song Guo, a great talent in our school. You should know his father, Song Bingnan, the former director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee." Chang Meijuan introduced Song Guo to her husband.
Zhou Xishun smiled and nodded reservedly, "Mayor Song's son is indeed a talented man. I have heard your sister Chang praise you many times."
Song Guo also smiled reservedly, shook hands with Zhou Xishun, and did not exchange polite greetings. His temperament was indifferent, and he had no interest in officialdom. For him, Zhou Xishun, the mayor, was actually nothing, and there was no need to deliberately flatter him.
"Mayor Zhou, Sister Chang, let's go to a farmhouse in front of us to try game. I've made arrangements. We'll go there at this time. The pheasant is almost ready to be cooked, and the roasted whole lamb should be cooked...
"Peng Yuanzheng smiled and called a few people to go forward.
Zhou Xishun was surprised, "There are still pheasants in Phoenix Mountain?"
He only knew that Fenghuang Mountain was famous for its lambs, but he didn't know that there were pheasants here.
Peng Yuanzheng smiled and said, "Mayor Zhou, there are a lot of colorful pheasants in the mountains, but they are not easy to catch. Hunters in the mountains also use traps to catch a few. They usually don't take them out and eat them at home."
"This Phoenix Mountain is really a treasure trove. Pheasants, rabbits, badgers, pigs, birds and animals, all kinds of mountain treasures, and medicinal materials are all produced. In the past two years, it was said that there were wild wolves, but it was just a rumor from local villagers, and no trace of wolves was found."
Zhou Xishun nodded as he walked and said thoughtfully, "Comrade Xiao Peng, speaking of this, I have an idea. The fact that a rich variety of game can be produced shows that the original ecology here is well maintained, but - if you don't pay attention
With protection and disorderly development, over time, all game in the mountains will become extinct."
"I think that in the past two years, the development of eco-tourism and farmhouse entertainment in Phoenix Mountain has been a little overheated." Zhou Xishun pointed at the various farmhouses that gradually appeared on both sides of the road, one after another, and smiled.
, "There is nothing wrong with relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, but we cannot fatten a generation and leave future generations with no game to eat."
"So, I suggest that your county regulate and control this phenomenon. I heard some comrades say some time ago that when people in the city talk about Fenghuang Mountain, they don't talk about climbing or traveling, but about eating. It seems that Fenghuang Mountain is not a tourist attraction.
, and it has become a base for eating and drinking.”
"If we don't control it and continue to eat it like this, how much game will be provided in the mountains? Therefore, will it pollute and destroy the environment of Phoenix Mountain? I'm not pouring cold water on you, but this phenomenon must attract the attention of your county committee and county government!
"
Peng Yuanzheng blushed and said softly: "Please rest assured, leader, we are already considering the ecological protection of Phoenix Mountain. The Forestry Bureau, the Construction Committee, the Agriculture Committee, the Civil Affairs Bureau and other departments are jointly coming up with a protection and development plan.
"
The popularity of the ecological catering industry in Phoenix Mountain has a lot to do with the promotion after Peng Yuanzheng took office. By the time Peng Yuanzheng realized that going too far was not enough, dozens of farmhouses had sprouted up like bamboo shoots after a rain in and outside Phoenix Mountain.
There is a large-scale resort and catering center invested by companies in the county - and Phoenix Mountain has almost become synonymous with "farmhouse".
This kind of scene reminds Peng Yuanzheng of the over-exploitation of farmhouses all over the mountain villages in later generations. Farmhouses are everywhere, and they are everywhere under the banner of delicacies and game. In fact, wherever there is real game, it is all artificially bred, and everyone understands it tacitly.
.
"That's good. Okay, I just want to make a suggestion, don't ruin everyone's interest in eating, haha." Zhou Xishun strode forward and smiled heartily.
Chang Meijuan frowned and interjected: "Of course it is a way for the people in the mountains to make a fortune through this, but in the long run, we still have to think of other ways."
"Yes, Sister Chang, I have realized this problem."
Peng Yuanzheng stared at Zhou Xishun's back with a little emotion in his heart. In this era when economic development is above all else, it can be said that it is commendable that Zhou Xishun, the mayor, has the rational mentality to protect the ecological environment and control disorderly development.
.
This is a rare sobriety.
From this point alone, Peng Yuanzheng felt that Mayor Zhou Xishun was really different. rq
