"Ping Ma Xiaoyao is the mayor of the township!" Niu Zhigang snorted.
"I won't go!" Tian Cuiying said angrily.
Niu Zhigang frowned: "You really don't want to go?"
"No! I can't afford to lose this person." Tian Cuiying said.
Niu Zhigang nodded: "Okay, since you won't go, then stop being the director of your finance office and go home to feed your children."
"Ah?" Tian Cuiying was dumbfounded: "Secretary Niu, you want to... fire me?"
"What do you think?" Niu Zhigang snorted: "I will not let a disobedient person be the director of the finance office."
"Secretary Niu...I...it's okay if I go and apologize, you must be fired." At this moment, Tian Cuiying finally realized that she was afraid.
"Then why don't you hurry up!" Niu Zhigang reached out and hung up the phone, and said angrily: "Idiot, what a fool..." After scolding for a while, Niu Zhigang's face began to look heavy: "Being contradicted by Tian Cuiying in this way is ironic.
Ma Xiaoyao can actually remain calm. This level of patience is extraordinary. It seems that I have to re-examine Ma Xiaoyao, the new township chief."
…
After Ma Xiaoyao returned to his office, he immediately began to sort out information about Gaohe Township, especially information about poverty in Gaohe Township, as well as some photos of the rugged roads in Gaohe Township, and on rainy days, the roads were full of
Photos of swamp.
"Dong dong dong."
Suddenly there was a slight knock at the door.
"Please come in." Ma Xiaoyao said without raising his head.
"Crunch!"
The door was pushed open, and Tian Cuiying walked in: "That... Mayor Ma, I... I'm here to apologize..."
Ma Xiaoyao raised his head in confusion and glanced at Tian Cuiying: "Are you here to apologize to me?"
"Yes, I shouldn't have... contradicted you just now... Please forgive me, Mayor Ma." Tian Cuiying bit her lip and said.
Ma Xiaoyao took a deep look at Tian Cuiying: "Did Secretary Niu ask you to come?"
Tian Cuiying looked very surprised: "How did you know?"
Sure enough! Ma Xiaoyao snorted in his heart, I knew you wouldn't take the initiative to apologize. Ma Xiaoyao said lightly: "I guessed...Okay, you've finished your apology, you can go back." After that,
Ma Xiaoyao continued to lower his head to sort out his materials and stopped talking to Tian Cuiying. Since he didn't sincerely apologize, Ma Xiaoyao wouldn't bother to talk to her.
Seeing Ma Xiaoyao being so indifferent to her, Tian Cuiying was very angry and almost ran away. She took a deep breath and said, "Chief Ma, I'm leaving." After saying that, Tian Cuiying left the office directly.
Ma Xiaoyao didn't take Tian Cuiying's arrival seriously at all, and just concentrated on organizing the materials.
It took most of the day to finally get all the materials.
"Huh..." Ma Xiaoyao stretched his body: "I really should find a secretary, otherwise I have to do everything by myself in the future, and sooner or later I will be exhausted." Ma Xiaoyao shook his sore neck and picked up the
He checked the time on his cell phone: "Yeah, it's already half past six, it's time to have dinner." Ma Xiaoyao locked the organized materials in a drawer, then got up and left the office.
When Ma Xiaoyao arrived at the cafeteria, most of the food was sold out, but since Ma Xiaoyao was the mayor of the township, the chef in the cafeteria made another meal for Ma Xiaoyao.
After eating, Ma Xiaoyao was not in a hurry to return to his dormitory. Instead, he took a walk in the large courtyard of the township government. While walking, he was thinking about how to persuade the county leaders to allocate funds when he went to the county tomorrow.
"Chief Ma?" A shout suddenly came from the front.
Ma Xiaoyao raised his head and found a woman standing in front of him. Upon closer inspection, she turned out to be Chen Shuirou, director of the Government Office: "Director Chen? Why are you here?"
"Oh, I just finished washing my clothes and was about to go back to the dormitory to sleep. I didn't expect to meet you here." Chen Shuirou said with a smile.
"Dorm?" Ma Xiaoyao was stunned: "You also live in the dormitory?"
Chen Shuirou nodded: "Yes, I have lived in the dormitory for several years. I forgot to tell the mayor of Ma Township that I am not from Gaohe Township, so I don't have a house in Gaohe Township, so I usually live in the dormitory."
"That's it." Ma Xiaoyao said with a hint of realization on his face: "I wonder where Director Chen is from?"
"I am from the county town. After graduating from college, I was assigned to work in Gaohe Township. I have not changed jobs in these years. I was just a clerk at the beginning, and then gradually became the director of the government office." Chen Shuirou smiled and said: "By the way,
Mayor Ma, where are you going?"
"No, I just finished dinner and went out for a walk." Ma Xiaoyao said: "The two of us can be considered neighbors from now on. We must take care of each other in the future."
"That's for sure." Chen Shuirou is actually quite pretty, with a slight dimple on the left side of her face when she smiles.
The two briefly chatted for a few words and then returned to the dormitory building. The dormitory building in the township government compound is two-storey, with the men's dormitory on the first floor and the women's dormitory on the second floor. Ma Xiaoyao lives at the east end of the first floor.
in the room, while Chen Shuirou lives on the second floor.
After returning to the dormitory, Ma Xiaoyao read the documents for a while and then went to bed.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Ma Xiaoyao took the information and took a car to the county seat.
…
Party committee building.
Niu Zhigang stood in front of the large and bright window and watched Ma Xiaoyao leave the township government in a car. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly: "It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. How can the county's money be so easy to get?"
Very meditative, Niu Zhigang was not optimistic about Ma Xiaoyao's trip to the county town, thinking that Ma Xiaoyao's efforts were in vain.
"Young people need to experience some setbacks before they can grow up slowly." Niu Zhigang sneered: "Ma Xiaoyao, you still have a lot to learn."
…
It took more than an hour for Ma Xiaoyao to arrive at the county seat.
It was already past ten o'clock in the morning.
"Chief Ma, where are we going now?" the driver Meng Qiang asked.
"Go directly to the county government." Ma Xiaoyao ordered. If you want the county to allocate funds to Gaohe Township, you must get the support of the county magistrate.
"Okay." Meng Qiang has been to the county several times, so he is very familiar with the road conditions in the county. A few minutes later, Meng Qiang drove to the county government: "Chief Ma, the county government does not allow outside vehicles to enter."
"You wait for me outside, I'll go in by myself." Ma Xiaoyao opened the car door and walked out. After registering at the guard, Ma Xiaoyao strode into the county government office.
The county government office building has six floors, running vertically from north to south, and is very grand.
After inquiring, Ma Xiaoyao found the county magistrate's office on the sixth floor. Ma Xiaoyao tidied his clothes, calmed down his emotions, and then reached out and knocked on the office door.
Soon, the office door was opened, and a beautiful girl wearing rimless glasses walked out: "Who are you?" The beautiful girl looked at Ma Xiaoyao in surprise.
"Ah, hello, my name is Ma Xiaoyao, and I am the mayor of Gaohe Township. I have something to do with County Magistrate Du." When Ma Xiaoyao came to Dongcheng County to work, he had already asked about the names of Dongcheng County officials and knew that the county magistrate's name was
Du Haiming, in his early forties.
"Oh, it turns out to be Mayor Ma. My name is Feng Yan, and I am the secretary of County Magistrate Du." The pretty girl said politely.
"Hello Secretary Feng, I wonder if County Magistrate Du is here?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"Yes, please wait a moment. I'll ask County Magistrate Du for permission to see if he's free to see you now." After saying that, Feng Yan turned and walked into the office.
Ma Xiaoyao stood quietly in the corridor and waited. The county magistrate was so arrogant that he had to announce every meeting. He had never taken such trouble to meet the mayor before.
Just when Ma Xiaoyao was slandering, Feng Yan came back with small steps: "Chief Ma, please come with me. County Magistrate Du is waiting for you inside."
Ma Xiaoyao nodded and followed Feng Yan into the office.
The office is very large, divided into two rooms, inside and outside. Du Haiming works in the inner room, and the outer room is for secretaries to work. The layout and furnishings of the office are very particular, and the furniture is all made of solid wood. You can tell at a glance that it is expensive.
This was the first time that Ma Xiaoyao saw Du Haiming in person. Du Haiming was very thin, with some sparse hair, and was wearing a black suit. At this time, Du Haiming was lowering his head to approve a document.
"County Magistrate Du, I have brought Mayor Ma here." Feng Yan said softly.
Du Haiming raised his head and glanced at Ma Xiaoyao: "Are you Ma Xiaoyao, the new mayor of Gaohe Township?"
"It's me, County Magistrate Du, hello." Ma Xiaoyao nodded hurriedly.
"Sit down." Du Haiming pointed to the chair opposite: "Feng Yan, give Mayor Ma a cup of tea."
Feng Yan immediately picked up the teacup, poured a cup of steaming tea for Ma Xiaoyao, and then stood aside consciously.
"Mr. Ma, I wonder why you came to see me?" Du Haiming put down the documents in his hand, leaned on the back of the exaggerated chair, and looked at Ma Xiaoyao quietly.
"Ah, County Magistrate Du, before I explain my purpose, I want you to take a look at these documents." As he spoke, Ma Xiaoyao placed a stack of documents in front of Du Haiming's face.
"What is this?" Du Haiming flipped through the information in confusion: "Huh? These are all introductions to Gaohe Township?"
"Yes, these materials are all about Gaohe Township." Ma Xiaoyao nodded.
Du Haiming looked at Ma Xiaoyao in confusion: "Chief Ma, why are you showing me these?"
Ma Xiaoyao leaned forward and said: "County Magistrate Du, I am showing you this information because I want you to know the poverty situation in Gaohe Township..."
Du Haiming stretched out his hand to interrupt Ma Xiaoyao: "I know everything about the situation in Gaohe Township, and I don't need your introduction."
"Since County Magistrate Du understands, I won't waste any more words. Magistrate Du, I came here today to ask you to allocate funds for road construction in Gaohe Township." Ma Xiaoyao stopped beating around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
Du Haiming frowned: "Are you here to ask for money?"
"Yes, County Magistrate Du, the roads in Gaohe Township are too dilapidated..." Ma Xiaoyao said.
Du Haiming waved his hand: "Chief Ma, it's not that I don't want to help Gaohe Township build roads, but the county's funds are also very tight, and there is no extra money to allocate to Gaohe Township."
