Soon, Bai Shuo and his party arrived in Huai'an County and met Xiao Lin and Li Fei in the county seat.
Bai Shuo was surprised to find that Xiao Lin had lost weight again, and he looked completely different from when they first met that year.
I learned from Li Fei that these days, Xiao Lin works from dawn to dusk almost every day. During the day, he is busy coordinating various departments and advancing the progress of the plan. At night, he is busy reading information and reviewing plans. He only has four or five hours a day.
Sleep time and even meals have become very irregular.
Bai Shuo somewhat blamed Li Fei and said, "I said you, a grown man, don't take more care of me, and let a girl have such hard work."
Li Fei cried with a sad face: "It's not that I don't want to take on more work, it's just that Sister Xiao is friendly and has strong coordination skills. Whether it is the government department, cooperative units or the local forces in Huai'an, she can make everyone obey. Change.
It’s really not possible to go alone…”
Xiao Lin smiled and said: "It's not as powerful as he said. After all, I don't know much about professional things. It's all supported by Li Fei. Of course, other miscellaneous things have to be shared."
Li Fei shook his head and said with some shame: "Miss Xiao Lin, this is a ridiculous compliment. Bai Shuo, now I also feel a little powerless. Your plan is too grand and my professional level is not enough. I should find some more qualified ones."
Let professionals take charge of this project."
Bai Shuo nodded: "Okay, I know you both have worked hard. With so many things to do, I should allocate more manpower to you. This is something I neglected. As for finding professional talents, I will take it to heart. In the early stage,
The work still depends on you."
Then, Bai Shuo asked about the recent problems. Xiao Lin shook his head: "Li Fei said that I have strong coordination ability, but since Xie Ning appeared, my ability has completely failed..."
It turned out that about half a month ago, Xiao Lin and Li Fei gradually felt that the local forces represented by Xue Yanming began to deliberately alienate themselves. Xiao Lin personally went out to communicate with everyone, and finally found out that Xie Ning had also arrived.
Huai'an County, and had a fierce fight with the leaders of the "Countrymen's Association".
After several days of investigation, Xiao Lin finally discovered that Xie Ning actually lived in Nanshui Town, and that Xue Yanming personally arranged the residence for him.
As the alienation of the villagers from the beginning gradually turned into constraints on Bai Shuo's plan, Xiao Lin went to Nanshui Town alone without saying a word and asked Xie Ning and Xue Yanming face to face what their intentions were.
Unexpectedly, Xie Ning said without hesitation that he didn't have anything he wanted to do, but his only plan was to destroy Bai Shuo's plan. It can be said that everything he did was aimed at Bai Shuo.
When Xiao Lin asked about Xue Yanming's attitude, Xue Yanming said that he had no personal grudges against either Bai Shuo or Xie Ning. He had to put the interests of the Rural People's Association first and abide by the Rural People's Association's decisions.
Bai Shuo was very puzzled after hearing this. Xue Yanming actually said that he had no personal grudges against Xie Ning. However, Xie Ning had grudges with him, and he had grudges with him. Although no one mentioned it explicitly, this
It’s all obvious, who doesn’t know?
In addition, Xue Yanming said that he would abide by the decision of the Rural People's Association. Isn't he the president of the Rural People's Association? Whose decision should he follow? Could it be that Xue Yanming was threatened by someone behind his back?
"Bai Shuo, I'm afraid only you can know Xue Yanming's true attitude now..." Li Fei said.
Bai Shuo shook his head: "The situation is unclear now. We should not act rashly for the time being. We have to think about it in the long term."
After some discussion, Bai Shuo decided to wait for Xue Manlin to come back before solving the problem with Xue Yanming. Now he would first stabilize the government and win the support of the government.
Bai Shuo and County Magistrate Lu talked on the phone and immediately led Xiao Lin, Li Fei, Cao An, and Anna to the county government to discuss how to advance the plan.
As soon as he entered the renovated county government building, there was a burst of noise. Bai Shuo frowned, wondering if there were people going to the county government to petition? How could there be such a noise.
"I really don't know if you understand. Look at what our county has become. If you don't take this opportunity to reconsider the planning and just tinker with it, are you restoring antiques or are you just too nostalgic?
…”
"Dong Wenkai, how dare you talk to me like this? Don't think that you can make decisions here after a few more years of study. According to what you said, shouldn't even this county government building be repaired?"
Suddenly, a 40-year-old man with glasses rushed out of an office, then turned back and cursed into the office: "Even in front of County Magistrate Lu, I dare to say that this building should have been demolished long ago.
This time it has been like this, and you are actually able to restore it to the original state. It is so efficient... Haha."
After saying that, the man turned around and rushed over angrily, almost colliding with Bai Shuo.
The man stepped aside, looked at Bai Shuo and his party, and was suddenly startled.
Bai Shuo smiled slightly as a greeting.
The man didn't show any sign of Bai Shuo's kindness. He just nodded slightly and left angrily.
Bai Shuo didn't think much about it. The people in Huai'an were famous for their hot tempers, and the county government had just experienced such a big turmoil. It was normal for everyone to complain.
"Haha, the people here are really unique. I guess the person in the office is that person's leader. In our Shu capital, no subordinate dares to talk to the leader like this." Cao An said.
"Okay, stop minding other people's business, our business is more important."
Bai Shuo led everyone to the conference room quickly. The leaders of several departments in the county had also arrived early. After a while, County Magistrate Lu also strode into the conference room. After seeing Bai Shuo, he immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face.
He shook hands with Bai Shuo and exchanged pleasantries.
After the formal meeting, Bai Shuo first reported to everyone the recent problems in the project plan with Xiao Lin, and then Li Fei made some additions. Finally, Bai Shuo also expressed his attitude, hoping that the county government could
Provide support and help in some aspects.
Just as the government was about to express its opinions, there was another noise outside the conference room door. Bai Shuo recognized the voice of one of them, the person he had just met.
"Why is this Dong Wenkai so crazy? Go and ask him to be quiet." Deputy County Magistrate Zheng beside Magistrate Lu said angrily.
A staff member immediately rushed out of the conference room and closed the door behind his back. Soon it became quiet outside.
"Hey, I'm sorry. This person is one of my subordinates. He has a bad temper and has read a lot. There is something here..." Deputy County Magistrate Zheng pointed at his head and said.
Cao An immediately echoed: "Let me tell you, don't read too much of this book, just enough to use it. You might become a nerd after reading it."
"Mr. Cao, you are absolutely right." Deputy County Magistrate Zheng said with deep approval.
Bai Shuo glanced at Cao An: "Knowledge is still very important. Do you think everyone is like you..."
Cao An knew that Bai Shuo was saying that he never went to college and always looked down on people with more knowledge. He felt a little embarrassed for a moment, so he smiled and said nothing.
"Haha, okay, let's continue discussing the issue just now..."
At this time, County Magistrate Lu brought everyone's thoughts back to the conference table. However, various government departments also expressed great embarrassment about the issue of Xie Ning and the Township People's Association. Not to mention Huai'an just now
After experiencing some turmoil, stability is paramount at this time. Even without the previous incident, the local government is still very troubled by the affairs of the eight towns, seventeen villages, and twenty-nine villages. It can be said that they can neither control nor let go.
No, these guys are very clear about it.
"I understand everyone's difficulties, and I don't want the government to directly intervene in these matters, but I hope you can give me an attitude and be my strong backing," Bai Shuo said.
County Magistrate Lu nodded and said that he would do his best to support Bai Shuo on the premise of maintaining local stability. After all, he also knew Bai Shuo's background. If the villagers were local snakes, then Bai Shuo was just crossing the river.
Raptors, County Magistrate Lu doesn’t want to offend anyone.
Although he only received some specious promises, he has achieved his goal. As long as the government's attitude remains unchanged, Bai Shuo can stand on a reasonable and legal commanding heights to Xie Ning to launch counterattacks. As long as he waits until
Xue Manlin rushes back, and then she can conquer Xue Yanming and bring the local people back over again, which will have the effect of draining the bottom of the cauldron.
After bidding farewell to County Magistrate Lu and others, Bai Shuo and his entourage got into the car and prepared to leave. Just as they drove out of the county gate, the car suddenly braked. Fortunately, the car behind them reacted quickly and swerved to avoid it, otherwise it would have almost caused a rear-end collision.
"What are you doing? Don't want to die?" the driver cursed angrily.
When Bai Shuo calmed down and took a look, it turned out that a man suddenly rushed out from the side and stood in front of the car, forcing it to stop.
"Hey, isn't this the 'nerd' from before?" Cao An, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said doubtfully.
Only then did Bai Shuo realize that the man in question was the bespectacled man named Dong Wenkai.
After Dong Wenkai forced the car to stop, he quickly turned to the car door, adjusted his glasses online, and looked straight into the car.
"Comrade, what are you...?" Bai Shuo asked.
Dong Wenkai hesitated for a moment and asked timidly: "Are you Boss Bai Shuo Bai?"
Bai Shuo nodded and asked in confusion: "How do you know me?"
Dong Wenkai said excitedly: "You were in a meeting with County Magistrate Lu just now. Deputy County Magistrate Zheng's secretary came out and warned me that County Magistrate Lu was discussing important matters with a boss Bai from Bashu. I guessed
It must be you. I didn’t expect to see you so soon..."
"wait for me?"
"It's a lady who asked me to wait for you here. She said you would be here in a month or two at most. I didn't expect you to arrive so soon."
Dong Wenkai said as he hurriedly groped around in his briefcase, and finally took out a piece of letter paper folded into a paper crane and handed it to Bai Shuo.
"What kind of lady are you talking about?" Bai Shuo asked strangely.
Dong Wenkai was stunned: "She must be in her twenties, but she looks quite young..."
Bai Shuo opened the letter and wrote the first sentence: Do you remember that I said I would give you a gift? Talk to this person carefully, he is my gift to you.
Bai Shuo was suddenly shocked. The person who wrote the letter was not Li Zhen, let alone who he was.
