Ma Xiaoyao took a deep breath and knocked on the office door.
"Bang bang bang..." The thick door made a dull sound, echoing continuously in the empty corridor.
"Crunch!"
The door was pushed open from the inside, and a handsome young man walked out. He looked Ma Xiaoyao up and down, and the young man asked: "Are you the mayor of Ma Xiaoyao in Gaohe Township?"
Ma Xiaoyao was stunned: "It's me..."
"Hello, Mayor Ma, my name is Zhao Wenlong, and I am Secretary Cheng's secretary." The young man said politely.
"Oh, Secretary Zhao, hello." Ma Xiaoyao greeted hurriedly: "I wonder if Secretary Cheng is here..."
"Yes, Secretary Cheng is waiting for you inside. Come with me." Zhao Wenlong smiled slightly, turned and walked into the office.
Ma Xiaoyao hurriedly followed.
Cheng Wenyong's office is very large and is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. There are very few furnitures in the office and it looks a bit empty.
Zhao Wenlong directly led Ma Xiaoyao into the back office.
There is a large desk next to the window. A dignified-looking man is sitting behind the desk reviewing documents. He looks to be in his forties. Needless to say, this dignified man is the county party secretary Cheng Wenyong.
Ma Xiaoyao hurriedly greeted him respectfully: "Hello, Secretary Cheng."
Cheng Wenyong raised his head and glanced at Ma Xiaoyao: "Well, you are the mayor of Gaohe Township, Ma Xiaoyao, right?"
"It's me." Ma Xiaoyao nodded.
"The young man is very young." Cheng Wenyong said with a smile: "Sit down, Wenlong, and make a cup of tea for Mayor Ma."
Zhao Wenlong, who was standing aside, hurriedly walked to the water dispenser, made a cup of hot tea, and then placed the tea cup on the table in front of Ma Xiaoyao.
"Wenlong, you have nothing to do here. You go out to work first." Cheng Wenyong waved his hand.
Zhao Wenlong responded, turned around and exited the inner room.
Cheng Wenyong leaned back in his chair and looked at Ma Xiaoyao with a smile: "Township Chief Ma, you have performed very well recently. In less than a month after taking office, you helped Gaohe Township solve the road construction problem, and you also helped Gaohe Township recruit people.
A large-scale breeding base, it’s amazing.”
"Secretary Cheng received the award, and I was also lucky enough to meet Mr. Wang..." Ma Xiaoyao said modestly.
"Speaking of Mr. Wang, I just want to ask, what is the relationship between you and Mr. Wang?" Cheng Wenyong asked.
Ma Xiaoyao was stunned: "Wang and I are always friends..."
"Just friends?" Cheng Wenyong seemed not to believe Ma Xiaoyao's answer.
Ma Xiaoyao opened his mouth: "I don't quite understand what Secretary Cheng means..."
Cheng Wenyong smiled slightly: "Mr. Wang and I have known each other for several years. Ms. Wang is a very smart and strong woman. Her current achievements are definitely earned by her own hands. I admire her very much..."
Having said this, Cheng Wenyong paused for a moment and then said: "The roads in Gaohe Township are no longer damaged every day or two. Mr. Wang didn't contribute money to help Gaohe Township build roads before. Why did he only wait until you became the mayor of Gaohe Township to do so?"
How about money to help build roads in Gaohe Township? This makes me very confused!"
"Uh... this..." Ma Xiaoyao twitched the corner of his mouth: "Secretary Cheng, in fact, Mr. Wang didn't intend to help Gaohe Township build roads at the beginning. It was me who went to Mr. Wang shamelessly because I heard that Mr. Wang had recently
In order to build a large-scale breeding base, I thought about asking Mr. Wang to build the breeding base in Gaohe Township. Of course, Mr. Wang disagreed at the beginning. It was only after my hard work and almost speaking out that I persuaded Mr. Wang to go to Gaohe.
The township opened a breeding base... As for road construction, there is nothing that can be done. After the breeding base is successfully constructed, a large number of cattle, sheep, and pigs will be raised in it. At that time, these cattle, sheep, and pigs will be sent to Tianhai Company for slaughter.
Then we make meat products, and Mr. Wang funded the road construction to ensure smooth transportation of cattle, sheep, and pigs."
"Oh? In that case, why doesn't Mr. Wang directly choose those wealthy towns with smooth roads to open breeding bases? In this way, a large amount of road construction funds can be saved. Cheng Wenyong continued to ask.
"Well...Secretary Cheng, didn't I just say it? It was me who persuaded Mr. Wang to go to Gaohe Township to open a breeding base..." Ma Xiaoyao explained.
"So, your eloquence is very good?" Cheng Wenyong said with a smile.
"Ah... not bad..." Ma Xiaoyao smiled.
Cheng Wenyong picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Chief Ma, to tell you the truth, I admire you very much."
Ma Xiaoyao was stunned: "Admire me?"
Cheng Wenyong nodded: "Yes, I really admire you. Mr. Wang is not that easy to fool. You were able to convince her to open a breeding base in Gaohe Township, and you also made her willingly spend money to help build roads in Gaohe Township...
You are really amazing! If it were me, I would never be able to do it!"
"Secretary Cheng, you are too generous. I...I am just lucky..." Ma Xiaoyao said.
Cheng Wenyong put down his teacup: "Headmaster Ma, you don't have to be humble. If you have ability, you have the ability. There is no need to be humble... Well, Chief Ma, I want to hear your philosophy on being an official."
"The concept of being an official?" Ma Xiaoyao didn't understand.
"Oh, how do you think an official should exercise his power?" Cheng Wenyong explained.
Ma Xiaoyao thought for a while and said: "I think that as an official, no matter how powerful your power is, you must be worthy of your own conscience, and you must do practical things for the people wholeheartedly. You must not let the common people poke your spine!"
Cheng Wenyong's eyes flashed with excitement: "Well said! Mayor Ma, your words really touched my heart."
Ma Xiaoyao smiled and said: "Secretary Cheng, to tell you the truth, when I first entered the officialdom, I was very confused and didn't know what my future direction would be. Later, my parents taught me that as an official, I must be worthy of myself.
Conscience, don’t worry about what others do, you must work down to earth, live up to the trust of your leaders, and live up to the expectations of the people... After listening to what my parents said, I woke up and understood the direction of my life.
, I dare not say that I am a person who selflessly contributes to greatness, but I can say without fear: everything I do is worthy of my conscience! Whether it is now or in the future, I will do my best to do it.
I’m here to help the people do practical things, and I will never let them poke my spine!” Ma Xiaoyao said loudly and with a very generous look.
"Haha..." Cheng Wenyong laughed loudly: "Now I finally understand why Mr. Wang admires you so much. Mayor Ma, you are really extraordinary, very good, very good!" After a conversation, Cheng Wenyong felt very fond of Ma Xiaoyao.
I have a deep affection for Cheng Wenyong. He is an upright official himself, so I highly appreciate officials who serve the people wholeheartedly.
Ma Xiaoyao took a breath: "Thank you, Secretary Cheng, for the compliment."
"Oh, I really didn't expect that the city would parachute such an outstanding official to me. Well, the people of Gaohe Township will be blessed from now on." Cheng Wenyong smiled and nodded: "Chief Ma, do your best, as long as you continue
Stick to the faith in your heart, and your future will be absolutely limitless!"
Ma Xiaoyao nodded solemnly: "I will, I will always stick to my beliefs, no matter what temptation I encounter, I will not change! I can swear it!"
"Okay, okay!" Cheng Wenyong smiled happily.
This conversation lasted for a full hour. Cheng Wenyong felt that he had met Ma Xiaoyao too late. During this hour, Cheng Wenyong and Ma Xiaoyao talked a lot, which benefited Ma Xiaoyao a lot.
"Dingling bell..."
The phone on the desk suddenly rang without warning.
Cheng Wenyong suddenly frowned. He was talking enthusiastically when he was suddenly interrupted by the ringing of the phone. He was in a bad mood. Cheng Wenyong made an apologetic gesture to Ma Xiaoyao, then picked up the phone and listened to a few words. Cheng Wenyong
His brows furrowed even more tightly: "Okay, I know, I'll be there right away." Cheng Wenyong hung up the phone and said apologetically to Ma Xiaoyao: "Mr. Ma, I have to deal with some things in a hurry, and I can't accompany you anymore.
Chatted..."
"Ah, Secretary Cheng, if you have anything to do, go and do it." Ma Xiaoyao stood up in a hurry: "It's time for me to go back. Now the village is building a breeding base, so I have to go back and keep an eye on it."
Cheng Wenyong nodded: "That's it for today. We'll talk about it later when we have the opportunity." After saying that, Cheng Wenyong called his secretary Zhao Wenlong in and told Zhao Wenlong to send Ma Xiaoyao out.
Under the leadership of Zhao Wenlong, Ma Xiaoyao walked out of the office.
After saying hello to Zhao Wenlong, Ma Xiaoyao left.
Looking at Ma Xiaoyao's leaving figure, Zhao Wenlong showed a trace of doubt on his face: "What is the origin of this mayor Ma? Secretary Cheng seems to have a good impression of him!"
…
After coming out of the county committee, Ma Xiaoyao drove towards Gaohe Township.
Halfway through, Ma Xiaoyao's cell phone suddenly vibrated. Ma Xiaoyao took out the cell phone and looked at it, and found that it was Gu Li. Ma Xiaoyao hurriedly answered the call: "Sister Gu."
"How's it going? Is work going well recently?" Gu Li asked.
"Okay, pretty good. Sister Gu, how about you? How have you been lately?" Because there was a driver present in the car, it was not very convenient for Ma Xiaoyao to talk.
"I'm pretty good too. I haven't been too busy at work lately. It's quite relaxing." Gu Li said with a smile.
After chatting for a few words, Gu Li hung up the phone.
"Hey..." Ma Xiaoyao breathed out softly: "It seems that Sister Gu still cares about me."
"Mr. Ma, who is Sister Gu in your mouth? Is she your girlfriend?" Meng Qiang, the driver who was driving, suddenly asked.
Ma Xiaoyao glared at Meng Qiang: "Can't you change your gossip? Focus on driving your car!"
After being scolded by Ma Xiaoyao, Meng Qiang suddenly did not dare to speak any more.
An hour later, Ma Xiaoyao returned to Gaohe Township. After getting off the car, Ma Xiaoyao went directly to the construction site.
Seeing Ma Xiaoyao coming back, the construction team workers who were relaxed just now became nervous again.
"Buzz buzz..." A cell phone vibrated.
"Who is it again?" Ma Xiaoyao took out his phone and glanced at the screen. It was Wang Aiqin calling. Ma Xiaoyao pressed the answer button: "Hello? Mr. Wang!"
