Ma Xiaoyao didn't look very good either: "Don't be discouraged. As long as we work together, we will overthrow Li Yongchang sooner or later... Huh?" Ma Xiaoyao suddenly let out a startled cry.
"What's wrong?" Qin Mingyue asked doubtfully.
"Oh, I saw a friend, you guys chat first, I'll go over and say a few words." After saying that, Ma Xiaoyao walked towards the crowd on the left, where a woman wearing casual clothes with a camera around her neck was looking towards her.
Ma Xiaoyao waved and took a closer look. This woman turned out to be Tang Meiyu.
"I didn't expect to meet you here." Tang Meiyu said with a smile.
Ma Xiaoyao grinned: "I am the deputy mayor. How can I not come for such a big thing as the railway station being completed and opened to traffic?"
"You have lost weight." Tang Meiyu looked at Ma Xiaoyao quietly and said softly: "You don't look very good either. You must be very tired from work recently, right?"
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "I'm indeed a little tired."
"The work cannot be completed in one day. You must pay more attention to your diet and rest, and don't overwork yourself." Tang Meiyu said with concern.
"Sometimes, I can't help myself." Ma Xiaoyao sighed helplessly: "I also want to take a rest, but some work must be dealt with as soon as possible and cannot be delayed at all... Sigh... You may think that being the deputy mayor is just a matter of time.
It is a very beautiful thing, but there is actually a lot of hardship and bitterness hidden behind it.”
"No matter how hard it is, no matter how painful it is, you can't wear your body down." Tang Meiyu wrinkled her cute little brows.
"Don't worry." Ma Xiaoyao smiled and said, "I know it well, I won't tire myself out."
"That's nice to say." Tang Meiyu curled her lips: "Look at your face now, how ugly it is...especially the bloodshot eyes..."
"Crash..."
Suddenly there was a burst of warm applause from behind, accompanied by several shouts.
Tang Meiyu turned around and saw that the governor, Su Baota, was standing in front of the microphone and speaking. The governor was worthy of being the governor. As soon as he stood there, he showed an air of abandonment. His speech was also cadenced, sonorous and powerful. Tang Meiyu
After listening to a few words, Meiyu laughed: "Governor Su seems to admire Mayor Li Yongchang very much. Look at what he said. Eight out of ten sentences were for praising Li Yongchang."
Ma Xiaoyao curled his lips and said nothing.
"By the way, I found a problem." Tang Meiyu said suddenly.
"What's the problem?" Ma Xiaoyao asked casually.
Tang Meiyu pointed at the reception hall of the train station: "Here, did you see the big characters on it?"
Ma Xiaoyao looked in the direction Tang Meiyu pointed: "Are you talking about the big characters inlaid on the reception hall?" The reception hall was very grand, with six big characters "Lanhai City Train" inlaid on the wall directly above.
"Stand", each character is about three meters high and two meters wide. Under the sunlight, it emits a golden light and looks very impressive.
"Do you know what these six characters are made of?" Tang Meiyu asked mysteriously.
"It should be made of iron, and then covered with copper." Ma Xiaoyao replied.
"Wrong!" Tang Meiyu shook her head: "These six characters are not made of iron, nor are they covered with copper."
"How do you know this in detail?" Ma Xiaoyao asked doubtfully.
"Hehe..." Tang Meiyu smiled mysteriously: "Just now I went around the train station and overheard two staff members talking, so I eavesdropped on a few words...guess what they said?"
"I'm not a god, how could I possibly guess it?" Ma Xiaoyao pouted.
Tang Meiyu looked around, then leaned in front of Ma Xiaoyao and whispered: "I heard from the two staff members that these big characters are made of gold..."
"Uh!" Ma Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly widened: "What did you say? Are these big characters made of gold?"
"That's what the two staff members said. It cost millions to produce these six characters alone," Tang Meiyu said.
Ma Xiaoyao glanced at the big characters opposite, his expression hesitant.
"I know you don't believe it. In fact, I don't believe it very much either." Tang Meiyu said, "But I have a way to test the authenticity."
"What can I do?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"Ask Li Yongchang directly and see how he answers." Tang Meiyu smiled slightly and walked towards the high platform. At this moment, it was the reporter's question and answer session. Tang Meiyu squeezed to the front, took out a microphone and asked where she was standing.
Li Yongchang on the high platform: "Mayor Li, are you responsible for the reconstruction of this train station?"
Li Yongchang nodded: "Yes."
"How much did it cost in total?" Tang Meiyu continued.
"This... I am not in a position to reveal the specific number." Li Yongchang shook his head.
"Are the six large characters on the wall above the reception hall made of gold?" Tang Meiyu asked.
Li Yongchang was stunned: "How is this possible? Those six characters are not made of gold at all."
"Why did I hear the staff at the train station say it was made of gold?" As she spoke, Tang Meiyu took out a recording pen from her pocket and pressed it casually, and the conversation between the two men came out of the recording pen.
The content of the conversation was very short, including one sentence that said the six large characters on the wall above the reception hall were made of gold and cost millions.
"Wow..."
Reporters at the scene suddenly made a noise and asked Li Yongchang what was going on. Even the governor Su Baota frowned.
Ma Xiaoyao, who was standing aside, laughed, thinking that this Tang Meiyu actually recorded a voice, and now there is something good to watch.
Tang Meiyu has been a reporter for so many years. When she goes out to cover news, she habitually wears a voice recorder. Whenever she finds valuable news, she immediately turns on the voice recorder. Other reporters also have this habit.
Li Yongchang stared at Tang Meiyu and shouted softly: "Where did you get this recording? Did you fabricate it?"
"I'm not fabricating it. The recording here belongs to two staff members of the train station." Tang Meiyu said expressionlessly: "Mayor Li, let me ask you again now, the six characters of 'Lanhai City Railway Station'
Is it made of gold?"
"No..." Li Yongchang was interrupted by Tang Meiyu as soon as he said two words.
"I don't believe it." Tang Meiyu shook her head: "Actually, if you want to confirm whether the six characters 'Lanhai City Railway Station' are made of gold, you can just ask someone in the gold industry to test it."
"Yes, check it out!"
"Test!"
"We want to know the truth!"
…
Other reporters shouted loudly.
In the end, Li Yongchang couldn't resist the pressure and had to send someone to test whether the six characters "Lanhai City Railway Station" were made of gold.
An hour later, the test results came out. The six characters "Lanhai City Railway Station" were indeed made of gold.
Li Yongchang was dumbfounded...
Su Baota's face instantly turned livid.
"Mayor Li, didn't you keep saying that it's not made of gold? As the mayor, you deliberately deceive us ordinary citizens. What are your intentions?" Tang Meiyu asked coldly: "Also, 'Lanhai City Railway Station'
The six big characters are just ordinary symbolic words, but they are made of gold. Isn’t this too wasteful? Mayor Li, the money paid by our taxpayers is not for you to squander at will... Mayor Li, what happened today?
You must give us an explanation!"
"Yes, give us an explanation!" Other reporters also shouted.
"This...I..." Li Yongchang was completely confused. He really didn't know that the six characters "Lanhai City Railway Station" were made of gold.
Governor Su Baota was also angry: "Mayor Li, what on earth is going on?"
"I...I don't know either..." Li Yongchang said with a sad face.
"You were responsible for the reconstruction of the train station, and now there are mistakes, and you actually say you don't know about it?" Su Baota said coldly: "You really let me down." After saying this, Su Baota turned around and left.
.
"Governor Su, please listen to my explanation...Governor Su..." Li Yongchang was just about to chase Su Baota when he was surrounded by a group of aggressive reporters.
"Mayor Li, please give us a reasonable explanation!"
"Why are some ordinary wall characters made of gold?"
"You must give us an explanation!"
…
Reporters vented their dissatisfaction with each other.
A wonderful completion ceremony was ruined in this way.
Lanhai City Railway Station became famous, and Li Yongchang also became famous...
Angry and angry, Li Yongchang went to the construction team to investigate the matter thoroughly, but no clues could be found. Within a few days, the provincial leader called and severely reprimanded Li Yongchang, and also treated Li Yongchang badly.
issued a serious warning and required Li Yongchang to publicly apologize to the citizens and replace the six golden characters of "Lanhai City Railway Station" as soon as possible.
No matter how Li Yongchang explains it, it doesn't work. He was responsible for the reconstruction of the train station. Now if there is a problem, Li Yongchang will be fully responsible.
He originally planned to rebuild a railway station to improve his political performance, but in the end he got into trouble. Is there anyone more unlucky than Li Yongchang in this world?
"What the hell is going on!!!" Li Yongchang roared angrily.
…
Sunny afternoon.
Lu Haifeng walked into Ma Xiaoyao's office with brisk steps: "Haha... it's so happy! That old man Li Yongchang was severely criticized by the provincial leaders, and his political achievements were also taken away. It's so relieved.
……Ha ha……"
Ma Xiaoyao asked Lu Haifeng to sit down, and then poured Lu Haifeng a cup of tea with his own hands: "Yes, it is indeed very refreshing. To be honest, up to now, my mind is still dizzy. Those six golden characters are really Li Yongchang."
Ordered it to be made? He shouldn't be that confused, right?"
Lu Haifeng picked up the teacup and took a slow sip, then smiled and said, "I'll tell you the truth, I did those six golden characters."
"Uh!" Ma Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly widened: "What did you say? Did you... do it?"
