I actually had no other plans that night, except that I didn’t want to spend time having dinner with the organist.[`Novel`]

I rushed back to Shangjiang. I wanted to take more time to carefully study and think about some recent work.

The next afternoon Guan Qin called and said that the visa to go abroad had been processed, and this travel agency happened to have a tour group going to Australia the day after tomorrow. The travel agency meant that we could go to Australia with this tour group, so the air tickets

It's much cheaper, and we can come back with this tour group on the return trip, but we can move around freely during the trip.

Of course I knew that the travel agency wanted to do a promotion, but I thought it was very convenient. I said to her: "Doctor Guan, I think we can ask the travel agency to handle our air tickets, and you can also join this tour group personally.

But you have to take one or two days to go to the University of Sydney to investigate. It is necessary to show off and walk around, otherwise it will be difficult to explain when you come back. I have something to do in the past, so I will not join the group to travel with them.

Already."[

She said: "I think, let's make an appointment to go to the University of Sydney together. Just for one day. How about that?"

I thought about it and then said: "The tour group will definitely arrange a day to visit Sydney. Australian tourism should definitely include a visit to the Sydney Opera House, just this day."

She said: "But, I also want to see the Sydney Opera House. What should I do?"

I smiled and said, "Let's go alone in the evening. The travel agency's arrangements are often just a quick tour. If you go in the evening, you can also watch an opera or something. How nice is that?"

She smiled and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of that? OK, I'll contact the travel agency right away."

I reminded her: "You go to the school today to borrow some money. This time we are going to Australia for an academic visit, and the medical school will pay for it. After you borrow the money, pay it to the travel agency first, including our air tickets."

money and convert the remainder into foreign currency.”

She said: "Then I will do it right away."

I said to her apologetically: "I have to arrange my work before going abroad, so I have to ask you to worry about these things."

She smiled and said: "I told you, I am your secretary. Don't worry, we women are the ones who do this kind of thing."

I couldn't help but laugh, "If you are too busy, I can send my secretary over to assist you."

She smiled and asked me: "Is your secretary male or female?"

I smiled and said, "Of course he is a man. Didn't I tell you yesterday? We male government officials are not allowed to have female secretaries. Female officials usually accompany female secretaries."

She smiled and said: "That's right, so as not to be criticized by others. By the way, Mayor Feng, does your secretary-general have to be handsome?"

I laughed and said, "He's quite handsome. But he's still a young man, so don't make any impressions on him."

She said: "Why can't I have an idea for him? Am I single too?"

I was silent for a moment. Then I heard her laughing on the phone, "Mayor Feng, I'm kidding you. How could I like a young kid? But I'm more interested in someone like you.

"

I didn't expect that she would say such a thing. You know, the number of times I have been in contact with her is actually not that many, and the issues we talk about every time we meet are relatively serious and never involve things between men and women.

At this time, she suddenly made such a joke with me on the phone, which really made me unable to adapt for a while. I hurriedly said: "Doctor Guan, please stop making such a joke."

.”

She couldn't help laughing on the other end of the phone, "Mayor Feng, I'm sorry, I like to go crazy after getting to know others, don't mind. I am a little excited to think that we are going out together this time, and I am even more hopeful.

We can be more easy-going with each other, otherwise it won’t be fun.”

After hearing what she said, I suddenly felt that I was indeed too sensitive. I thought that after all, she was a person with a Western education, and making such a joke was more in line with her personality. I smiled and said: "Haha! It's okay.

Just take care of the doctor, that's it. I have some things on my hands right now. If you need me to do anything, please call me at any time. You have a lot of things to do soon, so please worry about it."[

She said: "I'll do it right away. I won't say anything anymore. We will be on a plane together for a long time. Let's chat slowly then. I'm out to do errands. I will definitely come to you if I have anything to do."

I felt that she was indeed a little excited, and I couldn’t help but smile bitterly: It wasn’t her first time going abroad, so how could she be so excited?

Then I thought of a possibility: maybe after returning to China, she was not only restricted in behavior, but also in thinking, so she felt a kind of depression in her heart. Now that she is going abroad soon, that kind of desire

The feeling of release was immediately apparent. The conversation between her and Yes yesterday seemed to confirm this.

But I think so. After all, she and I were about to break up after we went out together this time. Then she went to travel and I went to meet Hong Ya, so the two of us were just theoretically traveling together.

After our call ended, I finished processing the last few reports I had, and then called Mayor Wu.

He is the executive deputy mayor. When I am away, he has full authority to handle various affairs of the city government on my behalf, so I must make some important matters clear to him.

In fact, he already knew that I was going abroad soon. I had told him about it a few days ago. After he came in, he smiled and asked me: "Mayor Feng, the time for your departure has been decided. Is it

Bar?"

I smiled and nodded: "Yes, I'll leave the day after tomorrow, first to Guangzhou, and then fly directly to Melbourne. Lao Wu, I'll leave the city government affairs to you while I'm away."

He smiled and said to me: "You have taken care of all the things, why don't you just go out for a few days? It's okay, I will take care of the house, you can go out and do your things happily."

I smiled and said, "Old Wu, I don't worry about other things. What I'm most worried about now are two things. The first is worrying about emergencies. The second is the problem of government finances."

He smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about these two things. Emergencies are unpredictable. Even if they really happen, aren't there still Secretary Rong and other members of the Standing Committee? If you are not here, if things get serious

, isn’t it just right to escape? You are not in a private situation. Your going out this time was approved by the leaders of the municipal party committee and the province. It’s okay.”

I thought what he said made sense, so I immediately smiled and said, "That's true. It seems that my nerves have indeed become a little sensitive recently."

He then added: "As for the money issue in government finance, I recently discussed it with Secretary Qian, and I am still going to transfer a sum of money from the account of the industrial park to our financial account first, and pay the interest according to the bank's interest rate. However,

At present, several projects in the industrial park require money to invest, and working capital is also very tight."

I thought for a while and said: "Judging from the current situation, the credibility of the companies in the industrial park is relatively high with banks, because the company's current profitability is relatively good and its repayments are relatively timely. However, government loans are not

More and more, this will put some pressure on the banks. I think in the future, when the government really needs money, it will borrow it from the companies in the industrial park, and then ask Yu Yong and others to loan the money from the bank.

Come out. The only thing we have to do now is to try our best to get the money out of the bank. This is the key. So we just need to change the way we operate."

He said worriedly: "Mayor Feng, I am a little worried now. The government has invested too much in recent years, and the interest on this fund is a terrible figure. Although our government's finances are gradually improving, tax revenue is also improving.

It is increasing rapidly, and there is also huge funds from land sales, but our investment is several times of this revenue, so our fiscal deficit is not small. I often think that if this continues, the government will not be able to

The finances will be bankrupt by then."

I couldn't help laughing, "Old Wu, why are you so confused? In our country, will the government's finances go bankrupt? If the government's finances go bankrupt, the government will also go bankrupt. This kind of system in our country will appear

Is that the case? In our country, what is the government? It’s the political power. You are an old comrade, why can’t you understand such a problem? "

He smiled bitterly and said: "You are right. But the money we borrow always has to be paid back to the bank, right?"

I smiled and said: "Old Wu, why don't you understand? First, does the money in the industrial park belong to our municipal government? As long as they make money, it is equivalent to the municipal government making money. Second, even if it is ours

The investment is too large and future debt repayment will become a problem. So will the higher authorities make our Shangjiang Municipal People's Government bankrupt? It certainly won't be right? Whose money belongs to the bank? It does not belong to the country. We Shangjiang City and the country

It is equivalent to the relationship between a son and me. If my son borrows money from me and cannot repay it, what if I can treat him as his son? Our state-owned enterprises in Shangjiang City owed so many loans to banks in the past few years.

Are the policies issued by the higher authorities cleared? After all, it’s all the country’s money. We don’t use it to divide it among ourselves. We also invest it in local construction. This is actually similar to the special funds of various departments in the province. Whoever has the ability can get more

Take some, if we take more, others will take less. Therefore, the most important thing for us now is to find a way to borrow as much money as possible from the bank. As long as we take out the money, the rest of the matter will be easy to handle.

.Besides, we also try to pay attention to the risks of investment and try to find ways to repay the bank's money. In fact, what we have to do is one thing: do not default on the bank's interest. In this case, whether it is the bank or our government

It’s all easy to talk about. In short, it is the country’s money. If we don’t spend it, others will spend it. But we must try to reduce risks and try to form a virtuous cycle of investment and income. The purpose of our investment is

What? On the one hand, we need to do a good job in construction and invest in people's livelihood. On the other hand, we need to heat up our land and stimulate the development of business. This is a virtuous circle."

He nodded and said: "Mayor Feng, that's the truth. I know what you said very well, but I think I should remind you. Obviously, Secretary Rong will not work in our Shangjiang City for a long time.

Mayor Feng, have you noticed? She does things differently from our previous municipal party secretaries in Shangjiang City. On the one hand, her style is very steady, but on the other hand, she also pays great attention to political achievements. Besides, she is also a lesbian

. What our country lacks the most today is female cadres like her, so there should be huge room for her advancement in the future. Mayor Feng, you won’t have a different opinion when I say this, right?"

I looked at him doubtfully, "Old Wu, what exactly do you want to explain?"

He smiled and said: "What I want to express is very simple. If Secretary Rong is transferred by then, then you will definitely be the one to replace her. If we invest too much now, then all the troubles in the future will be solved."

It’s up to you. Mayor Feng, you and I are friends, so I won’t say useless words in front of you, and I don’t want to hide my truest thoughts in front of you. Mayor Feng

, have you ever thought about it? In fact, everything we are doing now is paving the way for Secretary Rong. When she leaves, the mess will be left to you and me. How will we clean up all this?"

What he said was indeed very clear and bold. Of course, he did regard me as a friend, so he said such things in front of me so clearly and boldly. I think his analysis is correct.

I also think that Secretary Rong will leave Shangjiang City soon, because I also feel that her goal is not just her current position as Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.[

In addition, I also heard another meaning in his words: Once Secretary Rong leaves Shangjiang City, it is inevitable that I will take over her position. This is because the leaders in the province usually consider the continuity of their work.

, unless there are special circumstances, generally new top leaders will not be transferred from other places to take charge of the work. Then, when I become the municipal party committee secretary, he will most likely become the mayor.

His analysis makes sense, because he knows that I will help him when the time comes, because of our friendship and his full cooperation with me. Sometimes I have also thought about this question: What if one day I really

If you become the secretary of the municipal party committee, who is the most suitable to be the mayor? There is only one candidate in my mind, and that is the mayor Wu in front of me at this time.

As the secretary of the municipal party committee, what is most needed is the cooperation of an administrative leader who can complete all tasks according to his own intentions. On this point, I am very clear at present, so I will do it to the letter.

To implement Secretary Haorong’s instructions. As for me, I have long realized that among today’s deputy leaders at the municipal level, only Mayor Wu seems to have the same execution ability as me. In other words,

If one day I really become the secretary of the municipal party committee here, in my mind he is the only candidate for mayor.

However, I think what he said just now is not completely correct, and it is also a kind of unfounded worry. Of course, I also seem to understand another intention in his words: maybe he is testing my opinion on the future pattern of Shangjiang City.

s arrangement.

I thought for a while and said: "Old Wu, I don't completely agree with your statement. First, even if Secretary Rong is transferred one day and is promoted to a higher position, even if I can really succeed her,

Then you are likely to take on a higher position. Therefore, what we are doing now is not only paving the way for Secretary Rong, but also paving the way for you and me. Old Wu, you should agree with my statement, right?

"

He smiled and said: "That's true."
