Zhu Shilong's eyes lit up: "Chief Ma, are you telling the truth?"
"Do I need to lie to you?" Ma Xiaoyao frowned slightly: "Director Zhu, I'm very curious, why are you asking about this for no reason?"
Zhu Shilong breathed out gently: "To make up my mind."
"Make a decision? What determination?" Ma Xiaoyao didn't understand.
Zhu Shilong did not answer Ma Xiaoyao's question directly, but talked about another matter: "Township Chief Ma, to be honest, when you first came to Gaohe Township, I didn't treat you very well at all, but later you helped Gaohe Township to repair
Roads and the introduction of large-scale breeding bases not only make it easier for villagers to travel, but also solve their work problems. Now the entire Gaohe Township praises you as a good official..."
Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "I just did what I should do, there is nothing worth showing off."
"What a man who did what he was supposed to do!" Zhu Shilong praised: "Mr. Ma, I, Zhu Shilong, have been in the officialdom for several years, and I have met a lot of officials, but people like you are dedicated to doing practical things for the people.
This is the first time I have seen an official! Mayor Ma, I really admire you. It is a blessing for the people of Gaohe Township that you can come to Gaohe Township to be the mayor!"
Ma Xiaoyao was a little embarrassed to be praised by Zhu Shilong: "Director Zhu, you have given me the praise. How could I be as good as you said..."
"Township Chief Ma, what I, Zhu Shilong, admire the most are cadres like you who serve the people wholeheartedly. From today on, I, Zhu Shilong, will be at your disposal. I will do whatever you ask me to do! Absolutely nothing!" Zhu Shilong said solemnly.
"Uh..." Ma Xiaoyao was stunned. What did Zhu Shilong mean? Showing loyalty to him? Isn't Zhu Shilong a close confidant of Niu Zhigang? How could he come to show loyalty to him now? Is there any trap in this?
Could it be that Ma Xiaoyao had wild thoughts? It was really that Zhu Shilong came to seek refuge too suddenly... Ma Xiaoyao glanced at Zhu Shilong and said, "Director Zhu, will you really listen to my orders in the future?"
Zhu Shilong nodded solemnly: "Yes, I, Zhu Shilong, will never go back on what I said."
"Well, I have a question to ask you... I just said it casually, with no other meaning..." Ma Xiaoyao smiled.
"Excuse me, Mayor Ma." Zhu Shilong said politely.
"Well, that's it. Suppose...well, I'm talking about hypothetical. Suppose Secretary Niu and I have a disagreement. Who will you listen to?" Ma Xiaoyao said while carefully observing the changes in Zhu Shilong's expression.
Zhu Shilong pondered for a moment, and then said: "As long as it does not violate the principles, I will choose to listen to... Mayor Ma."
"Haha..." Ma Xiaoyao smiled very happily: "Okay, okay, with Director Zhu's words, I feel relieved." With Zhu Shilong's support, Ma Xiaoyao's status in Gaohe Township will change.
Got to be more stable.
After chatting for a few more words, Zhu Shilong said goodbye.
Ma Xiaoyao stood up in person to see him off.
outside the door.
Looking at Zhu Shilong's leaving figure, Ma Xiaoyao slowly raised the corner of his mouth and smiled happily.
…
Summer passes and autumn comes, and before you know it, another month has passed.
The heat disappeared and was replaced by bursts of coolness.
Ma Xiaoyao has always believed that the best season is autumn, neither cold nor hot, how wonderful it is.
Ma Xiaoyao stood by the window sill, looking at the fallen leaves falling outside, secretly in a daze. Just now, he called his home to ask about his mother Zhang Chunfang's physical condition. In the past month, he had called his home more than a dozen times.
A phone call, almost every two or three days, always asking about Zhang Chunfang's physical condition. Every time Ma Xiaoyao got good news, Zhang Chunfang recovered well and could move her arms.
It's no longer a serious problem.
After learning that Zhang Chunfang was recovering well, Ma Xiaoyao finally felt relieved.
After standing at the window sill for a while, Ma Xiaoyao felt a little thirsty, so he turned around and came to his desk, reached for a cup of tea and drank it.
"Crunch!"
The door was gently pushed open, and Kong Liang strode in. Kong Liang had obtained Ma Xiaoyao's permission and did not need to knock on the door when entering the office.
"Mr. Ma, I just got the news that the turf that Secretary Niu asked to plant has matured, and now Secretary Niu is contacting the buyer," Kong Liang said.
Ma Xiaoyao put down his tea cup: "Counting the days, the turf should indeed be mature. This time Niu Zhigang has found a ready advantage."
"Mr. Ma, that Niu Zhigang is so shameless. You obviously came up with the idea of planting turf first, but he plagiarized it. It's really shameless." Kong Liang scolded.
"Okay, the matter is over, don't mention it anymore." Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "As long as it can help the people of Gaohe Township increase their income and live a good life, it doesn't matter if I feel a little wronged."
"But..." Kong Liang still wanted to say something.
"Okay, don't say any more." Ma Xiaoyao picked up a document from his desk and handed it to Kong Liang: "Send this document to the government office and give it to Director Chen."
"Hey." Kong Liang took a look at the document and found that it was a document about the collection of land tax.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and send the documents?" Ma Xiaoyao glared at Kong Liang.
Kong Liang came to his senses and immediately took the documents and left.
…
Office of the Party Committee Secretary.
Niu Zhigang was losing his temper with Tian Cuiying: "Didn't you already contact the buyer? Why did you regret it temporarily?"
"I don't know what happened. I just called the buyer, and he said he didn't want to buy turf, and then hung up the phone. I called him again, but the other party stopped answering, and finally turned off his phone.
It's gone." Tian Cuiying also looked angry.
"You really succeed more than you succeed!" Niu Zhigang glared at Tian Cuiying.
"Secretary Niu, don't worry, I can still contact other buyers." Tian Cuiying said.
"You don't need to worry about the turf." Niu Zhigang hummed: "I will find the buyer myself." It was obvious that Niu Zhigang no longer trusted Tian Cuiying: "Okay, I still have things to deal with, you go back first
."
"Secretary Niu, I..." Tian Cuiying wanted to say something else.
Niu Zhigang frowned: "Didn't you hear what I said clearly?"
Tian Cuiying opened her mouth: "I... I'll go back first. If you need anything, call me..." After saying that, Tian Cuiying stood up and left the office reluctantly.
After Tian Cuiying left, Niu Zhigang's face suddenly darkened: "What a woman with big breasts and no brains." Niu Zhigang calmed down his anger, then picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Hey, is this Xiao Zhang? Are you ready?
Nice car, take me to the city later." After saying that, Niu Zhigang hung up the phone.
What was Niu Zhigang doing in the city? Of course, he was looking for buyers to buy turf.
…
Ten minutes later, Niu Zhigang left the party committee compound in a car.
Not long after Niu Zhigang left, Kong Liang came to Ma Xiaoyao's office.
"Chief Ma, Niu Zhigang went to the city by car." Kong Liang said.
Ma Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows: "What is he doing in the city?"
"I heard that they are looking for buyers to buy turf." Kong Liang replied.
"Oh, I understand." Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "You came just in time, make me a cup of tea, use the newly bought tea leaves." After saying that, Ma Xiaoyao lowered his head and continued to approve documents.
Kong Liang responded, picked up the empty tea cup from the desk and walked towards the water dispenser.
After a while, Kong Liang placed a cup of steaming tea in front of Ma Xiaoyao's face.
"Okay, if you have nothing else, just go out." Ma Xiaoyao said without raising his head.
Kong Liang stood there without moving, with a trace of hesitation on his face: "Well... Mayor Ma, I have one more thing..."
"Say it." Ma Xiaoyao still didn't raise his head.
"It's about Director Chen..." Kong Liang whispered: "Director Chen and I are in love..."
"Uh..." The pen in Ma Xiaoyao's hand suddenly fell on the table. He raised his head and looked at Kong Liang in surprise: "Then what did you say? You...you are in love with Director Chen?"
Kong Liang nodded sheepishly: "Yes, the relationship we have just established."
"You're good!" Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "I really didn't realize that you have some tricks up your sleeve. Just a few days after arriving in Gaohe Township, you actually fell in love with Director Chen. It's amazing, it's really amazing!"
"Chief Ma, please stop making fun of me..." Kong Liang's old face turned red.
"I'm not making fun of you. What I said is true. You are really awesome!" Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "But there is something I want to ask you."
"What are you talking about?" Kong Liang was stunned.
"Kong Liang, do you really want to be with Director Chen, or do you just do it for fun?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"Of course I want to be with Director Chen. I am very dedicated to relationships." Kong Liang said hurriedly.
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "That's good, Kong Liang, Director Chen is a good woman, you must not let her down."
"Absolutely, I will never marry anyone other than Director Chen in this life." Kong Liang promised.
"Okay, you guys develop well, and when you get married, I will be your witness!" Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"Chief Ma, this is what you said. You can't go back on your word when the time comes." Kong Liang said.
"Don't worry, I will definitely honor what I say!" Ma Xiaoyao laughed.
"Jingle Bell……"
The phone on the desk suddenly rang.
Ma Xiaoyao picked up the phone and listened to a few words, then his face darkened: "Okay, I understand, I'll be there right away." Putting down the phone, Ma Xiaoyao stood up and walked towards the door. When he passed by Kong Liang, he said, "Follow me.
Go to the breeding base."
Kong Liang hurriedly followed and asked in confusion: "What happened?"
"I just received news that an employee at the breeding base died." Ma Xiaoyao said in a deep voice.
"Ah?" Kong Liang was surprised: "How did you die?"
"It seems that he was beaten to death." Ma Xiaoyao's expression was not very good: "I really don't know what the leading cadres in the breeding base do for a living, that they would cause a murder to occur in the breeding base!"
The two went downstairs and took a car directly to leave the township government.
