After all, Xiao Xu’s father is an old comrade. Although he seemed a little nervous and excited in front of me at the beginning, he has become completely natural now. {Free novel} Of course, this has a lot to do with my low-key and peaceful attitude.
.
In fact, I know very well that what Xiao Xu’s father really respects is not exactly me as a person, but the power attached to me.
Of course I know it very well in my heart, so I feel that I should keep a low profile, and I shouldn't put on any airs in such an environment. That would be meaningless, and there would be no need for me to come here today.
I also want to go to the community or the street, but I don’t think that would be very effective. In such a place, I might not be able to hear other people’s true opinions of me personally. But I will definitely go there in the near future, because I
From such a place, we can hear more real opinions from citizens on our work.[
After Xiao Xu and Xiao Sui left, Xiao Xu's mother also went to the kitchen. At this time, Xiao Xu's father said to me: "Mayor Feng, did you come to my house today to ask me something? But?
, I’m just an ordinary cadre, I can’t compare to those who are leaders, I don’t know much, and I can’t give you any ideas.”
I smiled and said, "There's nothing special. The main thing is that I want to come and see you two. Xiao Xu is my secretary and the person next to me. I should have come to your house a long time ago, but on weekdays I really
I am busy, and I often work overtime on weekends, and I have to take time to go home to see my mother and children. I finally have time to come to your house today, and I also want to have a good chat with you. Mr. Xu, I am not a local.
I either read documents or have meetings in the office. Although I sometimes go downstairs for a walk, there are many real situations that I cannot see or hear, so I think today is a good opportunity. I would like to know something from you.
What views and opinions do the citizens have about our work and about me personally? I hope you can tell me truthfully, and I also hope you can give me some advice. Come on, let me toast you first."
He drank it with me, very generously, and then he said to me: "Mayor Feng, no one has said anything about you. They say that although you are young, you are very capable and have good connections with the province.
Yes, we can bring so many projects to our Shangjiang City, and our Shangjiang City will undergo great changes in a few years."
I was drinking soup at the moment. After hearing what he said, I almost burst into tears. I couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Old man, you are right. I did not introduce these projects in our city alone. We established
China Merchants Bureau, our Shangjiang City’s geographical location, preferential policies and huge business opportunities, these are the fundamental reasons for those projects to enter our Shangjiang City.”
But he shook his head and said: "Mayor Feng, you are too humble. Our Shangjiang City People's Hospital can become the teaching hospital of Jiangnan Medical University, and there is also a sanatorium to be built soon. Isn't this all the result of your introduction to our Shangjiang City?
Yes? There is also our industrial park. It is impossible for other people to make it so good so quickly. At the beginning, some people said that you came here to be the deputy mayor because of your connections, but no one says that now.
In that case, you are a capable person, and you don’t like to mess around like the previous leaders. To be honest, the people respect leaders like you the most. However, there are too few leaders like you now."
Normally, when I hear other people say nice things to me, I would definitely feel happy in my heart, but today is different, because now I want negative things more. I said with a wry smile: "There are some things now.
The thing is very strange. Originally, this was something that those in power should do, but it turned out to be something new. I came from Jiangnan Medical University, so this kind of thing is very convenient for me, since I am from Shangjiang City.
Mayor, of course you have to use your connections to get more projects for our place. Anyone else would have done the same."
He nodded and said: "That's true. There are many situations like this. It is said that a leader in our province changed the design drawings in order to allow the highway to pass through his hometown. The people in his hometown can thank him
, but the construction of this expressway cost more than one billion yuan. Haha! Things like this are normal now."
I immediately felt that he was probably drunk: Can such a thing be compared with what I did? But thinking about it carefully, it seems to be almost the same. After all, I still let the Medical University invest so much in us. Although those things
It is good for us in Shangjiang City, but after all, it will increase the financial burden on the Medical University. Of course, they are also doing it for future development.
In fact, there are indeed a lot of things like this in the officialdom nowadays, but this can be regarded as something done by conscientious officials. After all, it is still a kind of seeking public benefit for personal gain. Although I have never heard of the incident he just mentioned,
I don’t know which leader it was, but I have heard of another thing before: a leader in the province also asked the design unit to change the design of a highway because it was going to pass through the leader’s ancestral grave.
After the design plan was finalized, the design team later made the expressway go around a large bay to avoid the leader's ancestral grave. You must know that our Jiangnan Province is a mountainous area. Once the design route is changed, bridges or tunnels are likely to be added.
As a result, the cost of this highway has increased by several hundred million.
This incident is similar to what Xiao Xu's father said, but its nature is completely different.
Nowadays, many officials are very superstitious. It can even be said that officials are the most superstitious group after businessmen. In a sense, officials are superstitious. In fact, they just regard all gods, Buddhas and ghosts as a kind of thing that can be directly or
The supernatural power of indirect bribery. As long as you spend a lot of money, the other party will do things for you, so that you can turn bad luck into good luck, be lucky when you are in trouble, and be promoted to three levels in a row. Officials are superstitious, which also means that they believe that they can pass some strange
Technical operations to predict and change destiny. Those masters of divination and feng shui are the masters of this technology. They seek divination and feng shui, which is similar to finding a mechanic to repair their car, but their attitude is a little more respectful.
In other words, superstition in the past itself has a certain moral restraint significance. People who believe in superstition also do bad things, but they will worry about retribution after doing it. They are not only afraid of retribution on themselves, but also afraid of retribution on others.
Children and grandchildren. Therefore, not only do they restrain themselves when doing things, but they also feel fear after doing it, so they seek redress. However, our superstitious officials are not afraid of this. They have no scruples in doing things as long as it is beneficial to themselves. There is nothing in the world.
What cannot be done? The so-called moral bottom line, whether it is out of fear or conscience, does not exist for them.
Now these superstitious officials are actually in such a mental state: the original orthodox beliefs have collapsed. For them, the charm of ideology no longer exists, and therefore the binding force no longer exists. However, the society of traditional society
They have no consciousness, including China’s unique pan-religious beliefs. For them, tradition has only scales and feathers left, and it is manifested in pure technical operations. In the face of the superstitious technical pursuit of officials and rich men, not only Taoism or wild folk
Even Buddhism, which has always distanced itself from superstition, and even famous monasteries have become enthusiastic about this practice, and there are more than one or two monks who read people's fortunes.
This kind of officials actually have a blank mind. If they have faith, they only believe in one thing, and that is interests. They are the craziest materialists in the world. Here we can see their "thorough materialism"
The shadow of "ism" is just that there were ideals in the past, but now they are only "materialistic". This is a very strange phenomenon. People in a very ideal system will suddenly become the least ideal people and believe in nothing.
, only believe in the money in hand and the power that can be exchanged for money. The context is actually not difficult to find.
But I don’t want to discuss such issues with him. It’s not that I think his level is too low, but issues like this should not be discussed by officials of my level and half of the cadres below. Even though many things are reality, but
Officials of my level cannot say this in casual situations. This is also the minimum principle.
I said: "Old man, what I want to know most now is whether the people below have any opinions on our work? Including me personally."
He said: "What I hear most is the problem of laid-off workers. But I can understand this matter. After all, this is an inevitable process of the development of our Shangjiang City. And now the problem of laid-off workers is not limited to our Shangjiang City.
, this is true across the country. However, I still want to make a suggestion to Mayor Feng, hoping that the city government will pay more attention to the lives of our laid-off workers. Their current situation is worse than that of farmers. Farmers still have land and have enough to eat.
But our laid-off workers now have nothing but compensation, so it’s easy for them to sit back and have nothing.”
I nodded, "This is indeed a problem. However, this problem is very complicated. We are considering granting subsistence allowances to the urban poor in accordance with national policies. In the future, we will slowly establish a pension insurance and medical insurance system in accordance with the implementation of national policies. However,
This matter is not something that we in Shangjiang City can handle alone, it is a matter on the entire national level. Now is a period of pain, and I believe everything will be fine."
He nodded, "That's great. Mayor Feng, there is a situation in the city recently. I wonder if you have heard of it? There is a company that is raising funds, and the interest rate is very high. Now many laid-off workers are investing their money
I went to that company. I think this matter is a bit risky. With such a high interest return, can this company make back the money it raises?"[
After hearing this, I was immediately surprised, "Is this really happening? What kind of company is this?"
He said: "It is a company co-founded by Xiao Qianhua from the former Education Committee and several people. The company was established not long ago. It seems to be a financial investment company. Moreover, this company was registered in the provincial capital. It is said that there are formal procedures.
It is precisely because of this that everyone can safely deposit their money in that company."
I immediately understood: Secretary Chen probably handled this matter for Xiao Qianhua. I thought to myself, since they have a formal business license, there is no need for us to interfere in their affairs, and after Xiao Qianhua went through something like that
, her situation became very embarrassing, and it is understandable that she would do such a thing now. After all, seeking an official position would not lead to entry into business, which is also the path that many people take. I said: "That is normal business behavior.
, the government will have no power to interfere. For ordinary people, the returns and risks of investment exist at the same time, and they should understand it themselves.
He nodded and said: "That's right. Mayor Feng, everyone knows that my son is your secretary, so many people will not say more things in front of me, let alone speak ill of the leader in front of me. They are all on guard.
I'm here. So I'm sorry, I really can't provide you with any more information."
After hearing what he said, I felt that it was true. People nowadays are afraid of trouble and don't want to cause trouble for themselves, so this is a very natural thing.
I didn’t realize the danger of this incident until later, but when everything had happened, it was already too late, and everything had become irreversible. However, although I was responsible for this incident, I still feel that I am not responsible for it.
When Father Xu told me about this matter, not only me, but similar things were going on in many other places across the country at the same time, and no local government officials intervened, or in other words, no officials were aware of it at the time.
It was a huge risk, and many officials’ money was also caught up in it.
At that time, like officials in other places, I regarded this economic form as a new thing and a normal company operating model.
However, the day after I went to Xiao Xu's house, I still went to Mayor Wu to ask about this matter. He said that he knew about it, but it was obvious that Xiao Qianhua was from Lao Chen, and there must be something involved in this matter.
Lao Chen is at work. What's more, this is a normal business practice, and we'd better not interfere.
His idea was similar to mine. I nodded and said, "That's true. Mayor Wu, have you gone to raise funds?"
He smiled and shook his head, "I'm a timid person and don't like to engage in that kind of investment. I made a lot of money when I was speculating in the stock market, but fortunately I quit a long time ago. Now the stock market is changing every day, and I will never do it again.
I dare to go in. I still feel that buying a house is more practical, at least the house is something that can be seen and touched. Also, I have no money on hand because I listened to you and invested in a house near the provincial capital.
I want to buy a villa. At present, I have some money left on hand to repay the loan."
I smiled and said, "You are very realistic. By the way, do any of the leaders in our city raise funds?"
He shook his head and said: "How can I ask about such a thing? Even if someone raises funds, it is still a personal investment behavior, don't you think so?"
I nodded, "That's true. But how does this company make money? With such high interest returns, aren't they worried about the capital chain being broken?"
He said: "It is said that the money is used to invest in real estate and overseas futures. I heard that the rate of return is very high. I don't know the specifics."
I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I didn't expect that this Xiao Qianhua actually has this talent. Why didn't I notice it when she was in the industrial park before?"
He smiled and said: "She definitely doesn't have the talent in this area. I heard that the people she works with are businessmen with investment certificates in the provincial capital. Maybe she just holds shares there. Obviously, Lao Chen is involved in this matter
It works. Maybe Lao Chen asked someone to help with their company's procedures and business licenses. Mayor Feng, after all, Lao Chen was Governor Wang's former secretary. Now that he has fallen into that situation, we
It's better to stay less involved in other people's affairs. After all, Governor Wang is behind him, so we don't need to offend him too much. What's more, Xiao Qianhua's company's business does not only involve us in Shangjiang.
City. You think so?"
I nodded and said, "Yeah. Originally, I wanted to ask the TV station to do a program specifically talking about investment risks. Now that I heard what you said, I think it's better to forget it. Investment is a personal behavior, and the benefits and risks are only
It can be enjoyed and borne by investors themselves.”
He said: "Yes."
I suddenly remembered something, "Old Wu, documents on the compensation standards for demolition have been released. Have the citizens reacted to this?"
He shook his head, "There seems to be no response. We are currently drafting a demolition compensation contract, and then let the relevant departments below sign it with the citizens who need to be demolished."
After hearing what he said, I didn't feel very happy. I looked at him and asked him: "Old Wu, don't you think this is a bit strange?"
He suddenly looked at me in astonishment, "Why is it strange?" [
I shook my head and said, "Maybe I'm too sensitive. I think it's normal for there to be some objections to this matter no matter what. But it's so peaceful now, so I feel like it's not normal to be so peaceful."
He immediately laughed, "Isn't peace a good thing? Our compensation standard is high and it is impossible to raise such a standard. The citizens understand it in their hearts, so they have no objections. This is normal and also
Good thing. Do you think so?"
Listening to what he said, I also felt that I might be worrying too much, maybe I was affected by Secretary Rong's mood that day. I said: "In that case, you arrange for people from the following departments to go and talk to the heads of households who need to be demolished as soon as possible.
Sign the contract, and then arrange the compensation funds as soon as possible. The money must be transferred to the accounts of the demolition households within the time specified in the contract. Regardless of whether I am overly worried, I feel that only in this way can I completely relax.
.We must seize the time to complete this matter before the Spring Festival.”
He nodded, "Okay. I'll make arrangements right away."
Now I am slightly relieved. In fact, we have already raised the compensation funds for the demolition. Of course, a large part of them are bank loans. In addition, we also borrowed part from the industrial park. However, the industrial park requested that it be in accordance with the requirements of the bank.
I think this is a reasonable requirement for the standard interest payment for loans. After all, funds in industrial parks also have costs. In addition, the demolition compensation part will be included in the cost of the land in the future. Once the land is listed through bidding, auction,
After selling in this way, the funds can be withdrawn quickly and huge profits will be generated. This is the essence of land finance.
In addition, with the rise of our real estate industry in Shangjiang City and the rapid development and prosperity of commerce, our tax revenue will also be greatly increased. In other words, in the next two to three years, our Shangjiang City’s financial
The income situation will improve significantly.
As long as the government has money in its hands, any problems related to education, health, and people's livelihood can be easily solved in the future.
But now we are facing a huge pressure, or risk, that is, we must get through the pain in the process of our financial improvement as scheduled. This pain is not only due to our financial planning and arrangement
There are also difficulties in people's livelihood. If any problems arise during this period, then the pressure our team will face will be extraordinary.
At this time, I seemed to understand somewhat what Secretary Rong was really worried about. Maybe it was the pain we had to face.
Thinking of this, I immediately called the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the deputy mayor in charge of civil affairs, and the deputy secretary-general of the general office who contacted the deputy mayor.
Although in my heart I am very dissatisfied with my unplanned way of working, I still want to believe in a saying: it is not too late to fix the problem before it is too late.
And as the mayor, it is impossible for me to think about all issues in such a comprehensive and detailed manner. Besides, there are still many things that happen suddenly. As long as the big work plan and direction are correct, it will be fine. As for the details,
Problems, as well as shortcomings in work that suddenly come to mind, as long as you can think of them and remedy them in time.
When these people arrived at my office, I immediately talked about my thoughts, "I called you here today for one thing. It's the New Year's Eve soon, and there are so many laid-off workers in our city, and there are other reasons due to various reasons.
For poor families caused by various reasons, we cannot ignore the problems of these people and must attach great importance to them. If we do not care about these people and do not help them, it will be our dereliction of duty. What I want to know now is, your civil affairs
How much does the department know about this group of people? Has it registered every poor family in our city? Have we implemented subsidies for them now?"
The director of civil affairs replied: "Mayor Feng, the biggest problem we face now is the lack of funds. Our civil affairs department has many problems to solve. In addition to poor families, there are also pensions for military martyrs, resettlement of veterans, and support for the lonely elderly.
Assistance, repatriation of homeless people, etc., each task requires a large amount of funds. At present, we are still able to do it."
I was immediately dissatisfied. This man was actually an old cunning guy. His answer was simply to avoid the questions I just asked. In other words, he couldn't answer my questions at all, or even less so.
I have never done any work in that area, at least it was too superficial.
However, I suppressed my inner dissatisfaction and immediately asked the deputy mayor in charge, "Do you know the situation in this regard?"
The deputy mayor replied: "What he just said is true. The current work of our civil affairs department is indeed very difficult. In the final analysis, it is a matter of money."
This time it became even more difficult for me to get angry, because the deputy mayor, like the civil affairs director, also ignored this issue and never paid serious attention to this area of work. Although I also ignored this aspect,
After all, I am not the leader in charge of this area of work. As the deputy mayor in charge, he should understand these situations. In the final analysis, this is still the bureaucracy in his heart that is at work.
I said: "Since I have raised these issues today, it shows that these issues are very important. Think about it, if some of your relatives belong to poor families, but they do not receive funding from the government and society, and they
What will happen if they themselves lack the ability to make a living? Also, since you know that there are such a group of poor families in our city, and they do need help, then you, the Civil Affairs Bureau Chief, should report to the person in charge for this
Has the deputy mayor made a report? No, right? So, this is not a question of money, it is a question of your lack of solid work and weak sense of responsibility. Maybe you think I am making a fuss out of a molehill, but I don’t think so. Not long ago
Secretary Rong called me in for a talk. She said that she had been feeling worried recently, worried about what might happen to us. Later I understood what her worries were. In the final analysis, they were about social stability. Now we are worried about
Enterprises across the city have undergone restructuring, and as a result of this restructuring, our enterprises have regained their vitality, but at the same time, some of our workers have been laid off, causing them to encounter great difficulties in their current lives. As the saying goes,
Hunger and cold arouse hunger, and poverty is one of the fundamental causes of social instability. This problem is not a trivial matter. You didn’t pay attention to this problem before, and I don’t want to criticize you now, but you must pay attention to it now. First, deal with it as soon as possible.
Conduct a thorough survey of the situation of poor families in the city and register them. Secondly, formulate a subsidy plan as soon as possible. Thirdly, you must be realistic and realistic when doing this work, and you must never take the opportunity to seek personal gain for your relatives.
I hope you will strengthen the ideological education of the staff below, and deal with it seriously if such a situation occurs. This is not because I don’t believe the comrades below, because this kind of situation has occurred in other places, and some places are not only in the subsistence allowance.
There have been falsifications on the issue, and some people have even made up fake employee registration forms to claim wages. This situation has been disclosed recently on the Internet and in newspapers, so I will say hello now."
The deputy mayor in charge said: "Mayor Feng, you are right. I should also reflect on this matter. In the final analysis, it is because I did not do my job well. However, the problems I mentioned before do exist. The source of funds
If it cannot be resolved, this matter will not be implemented at all."
I thought to myself: According to you, as long as you don’t have money, then don’t think about anything, let alone do it? But I didn’t question him like this. I am the mayor and I must protect myself.
Unity of the team. I said: "First, you must first find out the situation as soon as possible, and then formulate subsidy standards. Only on this basis can the amount of funds required be calculated. Second, regarding funds
Regarding the source issue, I think that on the one hand, the Civil Affairs Bureau will find a way to solve part of it on its own, and the municipal finance will try its best to allocate a sum of money to solve another part, and then report to the Provincial Department of Civil Affairs and ask them to help us with part of it. I think that we need to solve this problem.
The problem is not difficult. In fact, the most critical part of this problem is that everyone must think about it. This is the fundamental problem. This is a critical period for our reform and urban construction in Shangjiang City, and social stability is overriding.
It’s a big matter, and I hope everyone will pay great attention to issues like this. This is not a slogan during meetings, it is an issue that each of our leaders must face seriously, and we must not make the slightest mistake.”
At this point, I said to the deputy secretary-general who was in charge of this work: "The contents of our meeting today must be formed into work minutes, and then sent to every leader of the municipal party committee and municipal government in the form of a briefing. At the same time, we must
Distribute it to various departments, as well as sub-district offices, factories and mining enterprises. In this way, the next statistical work of the Civil Affairs Bureau will be much simpler."
In fact, I have two real ideas for this arrangement: first, to supervise the work in this way. Second, if the people below cause an emergency due to lack of attention or procrastination at work, their responsibilities will be
It is closed to me because I personally arranged this work.
This is not a trick on my part to shirk responsibility, but a working method that I must adhere to as mayor.
After the matter was discussed, I kept the deputy mayor in charge and continued to discuss some specific issues in this work with him. In fact, the subsequent discussion between me and him was no longer important. My real purpose was to appease him.
His emotions. This is not only a necessary working method, but also from the perspective of unity.
I find that my recent work is almost like this. I am busy working on such things and consume countless time and energy.
In a team, not all deputy positions can do their jobs completely. Of course, there are various reasons for this, maybe it is a problem in thinking, or maybe they are in charge of too many things.
What's more important is that they have different perspectives on problems. After all, as deputies, their level of thinking about problems is not so high, nor is it so comprehensive. I feel this deeply because I was once a deputy, so
The issues I considered back then were obviously different from what I think about now.
On this day, after I finished the meeting and the deputy mayor in charge had just left, Secretary Rong called me. She smiled and said to me: "Mayor Feng, I will treat you to a meal tonight."
Well, you have been working too hard recently, let me give you some condolences."
I hurriedly said politely: "Secretary Rong, where did I work hard? You worked harder than me." At this point, I suddenly realized that the purpose of her calling me was not just to treat me to dinner.
thing, and then asked her: "Secretary Rong, do you want to discuss something with me?"
She smiled and said: "No. Just have a meal together. That's it. Leave all other things alone. I know you can't have anything special to do today. There are no leaders from the province, and there is nothing else important.
A guest, right?"
She was the secretary of the municipal party committee, so of course she was well aware of this situation. I immediately said: "Okay. You have given such an order. Of course I, the subordinate, must obey it. Not to mention, I was just about to ask
Please report on your work."
She laughed and said, "Okay, let's talk slowly at the dinner table tonight."
Then she told me where to eat in the evening. It was the best hotel in Shangjiang City. I knew her. She was usually very careful about eating. She rarely went there except for necessary receptions.
Such a place. So I couldn't help but feel a little strange: shouldn't it just be a simple meal tonight?
But judging from the tone and mood she spoke to me just now, she seems to be in a very good mood today.
Originally, I planned to go to several street offices in the afternoon, but I realized that that way would not allow me to learn more useful things, and now I feel like I have really found it.
Secretary Rong was worried about something in his heart, so I decided to temporarily give up this relatively frequent method of going deep into the grassroots level, and then went to hold two more important meetings in the afternoon.
In one of the meetings, I listened to a report on the construction plan of Binjiang Road. The main content was the preparations for the current construction, including the financing situation, the specific plans for bidding, etc.
They have done a very good job, and the power of horsepower has been initially revealed. This makes me deeply gratified, and at the same time I have more confidence in my own vision of people.
In fact, when it comes to employment issues, it does not have to be completely fair and just. The greatest fairness and justice should actually be based on ability. In ancient times, there was a saying that hiring people should not avoid relatives. This is very important.
explain the problem.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when all the heroes were vying for the throne, Cao Cao made his fortune a little late. Therefore, his reputation and strength were far inferior to those of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Gongsun Zan, etc. in the initial stage. However, the final winner was Cao Cao. The reason was that Cao Cao's wisdom in employing people was extraordinary.
It's really interesting.
As early as in the political struggle to eradicate the eunuchs and help the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who had strong political ambitions, discussed the current situation together. Yuan Shao's plan was, "If things don't go smoothly," "I will seize the river in the south, block the Yan Dynasty in the north, and block the Yan Dynasty in the north."
The people of Rong and Di are marching south to fight for the world." Cao Cao said: "I will use the intelligence of the world to control it, and I will not be able to control it." This simple sentence seems to have no actual content, but it shows that Cao Cao is extraordinary.
The political strategy of Cao Cao regarded the talent issue as the most fundamental strategic issue in the war. Many subsequent examples proved that Cao Cao said so and did so. He always regarded recruiting talents as more important than conquering cities and territories.
The most important and fundamental picture is based on meritocracy, "officially assigning talents, each according to his own abilities, showing off his feelings and calculating, and not remembering old evils." It is precisely because of this that the largest and most outstanding team between Han and Wei was gathered under Cao Cao.
A team of talented people, and it was with such a team that Cao Cao defeated his opponents and achieved great success.
Under today's system, our employment model actually has many similarities with that of Cao Cao's era. The best way to employ people is to rely only on talents and not avoid relatives and enemies.
After get off work, I hurried to the hotel that Secretary Rong told me. When I entered the private room, I immediately understood why she invited me to dinner today and why she arranged the dining place here. Because I saw a beautiful woman inside, she was Min Siwei.
Obviously, Secretary Rong deliberately arranged the place to have dinner here tonight because of the arrival of Min Siwei. It is quiet here and no one will disturb it under normal circumstances. After all, I am the mayor of Shangjiang City.
It's best to keep love matters a secret. If the negotiation fails, won't there be rumors?
There was no sign of Secretary Rong in the private room I saw. I suddenly remembered that last time she made an appointment with me but didn't come. Could it be that she is going to do the same thing again this time?
Probably not, because this is Shangjiang City, and it is unlikely that she would let me eat alone with a beautiful woman. Secretary Rong is a woman and a leader. She is more meticulous than many people when considering these issues.
.
Maybe it was because she still had some unfinished business at hand, or more likely, she was deliberately leaving the two of us some alone time together.
The first time I entered the private room, I was surprised, but then I asked her: "When did you come? Are you here on a business trip? Where is Secretary Rong?"
She seemed a little shy, "Secretary Rong asked me to come here first. She has something else to do and should be here soon."
I found that she seemed to be deliberately avoiding answering my question. In fact, I just asked it casually. This made me understand a little bit: Could it be that she was specially called to our Shangjiang City by Secretary Rong?
But it was impossible for me to ask her so many questions. That would be impolite and disrespectful to her. In my heart, I respect her very much because of her dedication to her career.
And now I feel a lot more relaxed, because what she just said has told me that the judgment just now was correct: Secretary Rong will definitely come.
I smiled and said to her: "Welcome to our Shangjiang City as a guest."
She smiled and said: "I remember you invited me to be your guest last time, so I came."
I couldn't help but laugh, "When you say this, why do I feel like you are on a state visit? Isn't this often said on CCTV news? Prime Minister XX accepted the invitation of XX leader of our country.
