"Chief Bai, why did you ignore me when I called you just now?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"Did you call me?" Bai Wei was stunned for a moment: "Why didn't I hear you?"
"I called you twice!" Ma Xiaoyao turned to look at the others: "Everyone, tell me, did I call out to Mayor Bai just now?"
"Shout, I heard it." Zhao Qi, the mayor of Xiaoqiao Township, was the first to say.
"Yes, I heard it too." Zhang Zilong agreed.
"Mr. Bai, Secretary Ma did call you." Others also followed suit.
"Ah... maybe I was too engrossed in my thoughts just now, so I didn't hear... Secretary Ma, I'm really sorry..." Bai Wei took out his mobile phone and looked at the time: "Um, Secretary Ma, I have something urgent.
, let’s take a step first, we will talk another day..." After saying that, Bai Wei raised his feet and was about to leave.
Ma Xiaoyao stretched out his hand to stop Bai Wei: "Chang Bai, you seem to be afraid of me?"
"How could I be afraid of you? I'm really in a hurry..." Bai Wei frowned.
"Mr. Bai, we finally met once, and we have to have a good chat..." Ma Xiaoyao stopped beating around the bush with Bai Wei and went straight to the point: "Mr. Bai, do you still remember our relationship?
A bet between us?"
Bai Wei's face twitched: "What... what bet..."
"You won't forget it, right?" Ma Xiaoyao looked very surprised: "You were the first to propose this bet... Just when we were participating in the training class of the youth cadre class of the County Party Committee Party School, you did it in front of many people.
You made a bet with me..."
The secretaries, township chiefs, and town chiefs of other towns all had a look of surprise on their faces. They were all human beings. Of course, they could tell that Ma Xiaoyao and Bai Wei seemed to have a different relationship. They also had hidden secrets in their words. They didn't know what Ma Xiaoyao and Bai Wei were.
What exactly is the festival?
"That... I really don't remember..." Bai Wei shook his head: "Secretary Ma, I'm really in a hurry... We'll talk when we have time..." This Bai Wei was obviously pretending to be confused.
Ma Xiaoyao blocked the door and said nothing to let Bai Wei leave: "Mr. Bai, your memory is really bad... Forget it, since you don't remember, let me remind you...
During the training of the party school's youth cadre class, you made a bet with me that if Gaohe Township could surpass Huancheng Township and become the most affluent township in Dongcheng County within three years, then Mayor Bai would resign on his own initiative.
, On the contrary, if Gaohe Township cannot surpass Huancheng Township within three years, then I must resign... What about it? Has Mayor Bai remembered?"
"I...I..." Bai Wei spoke hesitantly.
Ma Xiaoyao looked back at Zhao Qi and Zhang Zilong: "Head Zhao, Mayor Zhang, you two were also present at the time. Do you think this is the case?"
"Yes! Mayor Bai and you did make a bet at that time, and everyone who attended the youth cadre class at that time can testify." Zhao Qi said.
"Yes, there is such a thing, Mayor Bai. It's only been more than a year, and you don't remember it? Or are you pretending to be confused?" Zhang Zilong said sarcastically.
Bai Wei's face twitched uncontrollably.
The secretaries, township chiefs and town chiefs of other townships all looked surprised and hurriedly asked Zhao Qi and Zhang Zilong what was going on.
Zhao Qi and Zhang Zilong told what happened when Bai Wei forced Ma Xiaoyao to make a bet. After hearing this, everyone showed a trace of contempt on their faces. This Bai Wei was so shameless. It was clearly him who took the initiative to force Ma Xiaoyao to make a bet.
Yes, now that I have lost the bet, I deliberately pretend to be confused and refuse to admit it. This is such a bad character.
Several people who were not on good terms with Bai Wei shouted on the spot: "Mr. Bai, please stop pretending to be stupid. You are willing to accept defeat and resign as soon as possible!"
Bai Wei lowered his head, his expression extremely ugly. He felt regretful at the moment. Why did he make a bet with Ma Xiaoyao in the first place? If he hadn't made the bet, he wouldn't be so embarrassed today... Bai Wei is an official fan, let him
Taking the initiative to resign was simply harder than killing him. Bai Wei took a deep breath and looked up at Ma Xiaoyao: "Secretary Ma... I... um... I was joking with you back then... Why did you take it seriously...
"
"Are you kidding?" Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "Is this really new? Mayor Bai, you don't have to be afraid. I won't force you to resign. Let's not talk about your character. You have worked hard these years.
The development of Huan urban and rural areas has enabled the villagers in Huan urban and rural areas to live a good life. You are a qualified township head, so I will not embarrass you. As long as you apologize to me in public today, there will be no difference between us.
The bet will be cancelled." Ma Xiaoyao just wanted to vent his sulk today, and did not really want to force Bai Wei to resign.
Bai Wei hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to lower his head: "Secretary Ma... I'm sorry... I was too crazy before and underestimated your ability... I'm sorry..."
"Okay, starting from today, the bet between us is cancelled." Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile.
Bai Wei opened his mouth: "Can I leave now?"
"Of course." Ma Xiaoyao nodded.
Bai Wei took a deep breath and walked out of the conference room.
…
A large group of people were sitting in a private room of a hotel, including Ma Xiaoyao, Xiaoqiao Township Mayor Zhao Qi, Qinghe Town Mayor Zhang Zilong, Deputy Director of the Agricultural Bureau Gao Linshan, County Government Office Director Wu Ziyou, and Agricultural Bank of China Logistics Department Director Tao Shuilin.
"I'm happy today!" Wu Ziyou said with a smile: "We old classmates haven't gotten together for a long time! I suggest that we all have a drink together!"
"Yes, let's have a drink!" Everyone picked up the wine glasses, touched them gently, and then drank it all.
Gao Linshan stretched out his hand and wiped his mouth: "Old Ma, I heard that you made Bai Wei suffer today?"
Ma Xiaoyao took a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth: "When we were training in the youth cadre class, didn't Bai Wei want to make a bet with me? He said that within three years, if Gaohe Township could surpass Huancheng Township,
Bai Wei will resign. If Gaohe Township does not surpass Huancheng Township within three years, then I will resign..."
"Yes, that's what happened! At that time, Bai Wei asked us to be a witness for him... That Bai Wei really shot himself in the foot. He probably never dreamed of it. It didn't take three years for Gao He to
The township has already surpassed the Huancheng Township... Haha... At this moment, Bai Wei is probably going to feel regretful..." Gao Linshan laughed loudly.
Zhao Qi said: "You haven't seen it. In the county government conference room, Bai Wei didn't dare to talk to Lao Ma. In the end, he pretended to be stupid and said that he had forgotten about the bet... What do you think of Bai Wei?"
Is Wei shameless?"
"It's just shameless!" Gao Linshan scolded: "I have long seen that Bai Wei is a hypocrite!"
"What happened next?" Tao Shuilin asked.
"Later, Bai Wei apologized to Lao Ma, and then Lao Ma told Bai Wei to leave." Zhao Qi said.
"Old Ma, you are too soft-hearted, how could you let Bai Wei go so easily..." Gao Linshan said dissatisfied.
Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "Although Bai Wei is a bit arrogant, he has done a lot of practical things for the people in Huancheng and rural areas in recent years, and he is considered a competent township head... Besides, Bai Wei and I don't actually have any deep hatred.
It's enough to teach them a lesson, there's no need to kill them all."
"Old Ma, your heart is still too soft. That Bai Wei is a wolf and a white-eyed wolf. Although you let him go, he will never accept your love. Instead, he will bear you a grudge. He will definitely hate you in the future.
I will try every means to get back at you." Wu Ziyou shook his head.
Ma Xiaoyao curled his lips disdainfully: "He will come if he has the ability. I, Ma Xiaoyao, am not someone to be bullied. If Bai Wei dares to provoke me again, then I will never let him off lightly."
"Lao Ma, you should be more careful in the future. As the saying goes, it is easy to hide from an open gun and hard to guard against a hidden arrow. Be careful of Bai Wei playing tricks on you." Gao Linshan kindly advised.
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "I know, I will guard against Bai Wei."
Although we have only been together for three months in the youth cadre class, our friendship is very deep, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.
"Ziyou, I see you are unhappy, is there something on your mind?" Tao Shuilin asked.
"Oh... don't mention it... I have suffered a lot in recent days..." Wu Ziyou sighed.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Tao Shuilin asked doubtfully.
There was also a trace of doubt on the faces of the others.
Wu Ziyou took a sip of wine and said, "Didn't the county recruit a new executive deputy county magistrate..."
"Yes, I heard about it. It seems that he was transferred from the city and his name is Li Ming." Tao Shuilin nodded.
"This new executive deputy county magistrate is quite difficult to maintain. He finds excuses to reprimand me every now and then, and he reprimands me in front of many people, which makes it difficult for me to get off the stage..." Wu Ziyou's expression was a little painful: "I'll be honest with you.
Ah, I almost want to resign..."
"Don't resign!" Gao Linshan said hurriedly: "Ziyou, you finally became the director of the county government office, a full-time cadre at the department level, and your future is bright. How can you resign at this time!"
"Yes, Ziyou, you absolutely cannot resign." Zhang Zilong persuaded him.
Wu Ziyou shook his head: "I don't want to resign, but... my life in the county government is too hard... I really can't hold on anymore..."
Tao Shuilin frowned: "Ziyou, did you offend the new Deputy County Magistrate Li?"
"How dare I offend others? Since Deputy County Magistrate Li was transferred here, I have been respectful to him. I will do whatever Deputy Magistrate Li asks me to do without any ambiguity," Wu Ziyou said.
"Since you didn't offend Deputy County Magistrate Li, why did Deputy County Magistrate Li target you?" Tao Shuilin couldn't figure it out.
"I don't know either." Wu Ziyou smiled bitterly.
Tao Shuilin pondered for a moment: "Ziyou, could it be that you unintentionally offended Deputy County Magistrate Li, and you didn't notice it?" "Chief Bai, I called you just now, why did you ignore me?" Ma Ma
Xiaoyao asked.
"Did you call me?" Bai Wei was stunned for a moment: "Why didn't I hear you?"
"I called you twice!" Ma Xiaoyao turned to look at the others: "Everyone, tell me, did I call out to Mayor Bai just now?"
