Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Yes, road construction. I hope County Magistrate Du can allocate funds for road construction to me."
Du Haiming's face twitched: "The county doesn't have that much money."
"How much money can the county spend?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"The maximum amount you can spend is one hundred and eighty thousand," Du Haiming said.
"One hundred and eighty thousand?" Ma Xiaoyao frowned: "Mr. Du, Dongcheng County's economic development has improved a lot in recent years, and the county's fiscal revenue should also be quite large..."
"Deputy County Magistrate Ma, there are many places in the county that need to spend money. I can't spend all the money on road construction, right?" Du Haiming said dissatisfied: "Besides... even if I spend all the money from the county's finances,
There’s not enough to build roads.”
"County Magistrate Du, actually building roads doesn't cost much... at most one to twenty million is enough..." Ma Xiaoyao said.
Du Haiming was exasperated: "Ten or twenty million is not much?"
"County Magistrate Du..." Ma Xiaoyao was about to speak, but was interrupted by Du Haiming.
"Okay, stop talking. I can't get the money here. If you want to build roads, you can figure it out yourself. I'm very busy. If you have nothing else to do, just go back." After that, Du Haiming said
Picking up a document and looking at it, Ma Xiaoyao stopped paying attention.
Ma Xiaoyao felt a little angry. Du Haiming was also the county magistrate after all. Road construction was a thing that benefited the people, but Du Haiming didn't support it? At this moment, Ma Xiaoyao really wanted to scold Du Haiming and scold Du Haiming for not being worthy of being the county magistrate... Ma Xiaoyao
He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, stood up and left the office.
After Ma Xiaoyao left, Du Haiming snorted coldly: "It's really a toss-up!"
…
After coming out of Du Haiming's office, Ma Xiaoyao went directly to find Cheng Wenyong.
"Xiaoyao is here." Cheng Wenyong called Ma Xiaoyao to sit down: "I just bought some tea here, let you try it and see how it tastes." As he spoke, Cheng Wenyong personally made a cup of hot tea for Ma Xiaoyao.
Ma Xiaoyao picked up the tea cup and smelled it gently: "Well, it smells very good..." Ma Xiaoyao put the tea cup to his mouth and took a sip: "Not bad, it tastes very good... good tea..."
"Haha... If you like to drink, I'll give you some." Cheng Wenyong said with a smile.
"Then I would like to thank Secretary Cheng." Ma Xiaoyao put down the tea cup: "Secretary Cheng, I have something to discuss with you."
"Say." Cheng Wenyong nodded.
"I want to build roads." Ma Xiaoyao said.
Cheng Wenyong was stunned: "Building roads?"
"Yes, we need to build roads. Some of the roads in the county are obviously aging, and there are still potholes in some places. It is very inconvenient for people to travel, so I plan to build roads." Ma Xiaoyao said.
"Building roads is a good thing... but building roads requires a lot of money..." Cheng Wenyong pondered for a while and said.
"Dongcheng County should have a lot of money left over these years, right?" Ma Xiaoyao said.
Cheng Wenyong nodded: "There should be some money in the county finance... However, the county finance has always been in charge of Du Haiming. If you want money to build roads, you can only go to Du Haiming."
"I've found it. He only promised to give me one hundred thousand yuan." Ma Xiaoyao curled his lips.
Cheng Wenyong smiled: "I knew Du Haiming would not give you funds easily... Xiaoyao, do you know what Du Haiming's nickname is?"
"What's it called?" Ma Xiaoyao asked curiously.
"Scrooge!" Cheng Wenyong said: "This nickname was given privately by some cadres."
"Scrooge?" Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "This nickname is quite unique."
"As the nickname says, Du Haiming attaches great importance to money and has a firm control over the county finances. It is even harder for others to get money out of his hands." Cheng Wenyong mocked: "In the past, some townships
The mayors and town mayors came to Du Haiming to ask for money, but in the end they were all rejected by Du Haiming, which made the township and town mayors very dissatisfied."
Ma Xiaoyao's mouth twitched: "What should we do?"
"What can you do? If you want to get money out of Du Haiming's hands, it will probably be difficult...so you can only think of other ways." Cheng Wenyong said with a bitter smile.
"Think of another way... What can I do..." Ma Xiaoyao frowned.
"Go to the city and ask for money." Cheng Wenyong came up with an idea.
Ma Xiaoyao was stunned: "Go to the city to ask for money?"
"Yes, the city has sufficient funds. If you have a way to get money from the city, you can build roads in a big way." Cheng Wenyong nodded.
Going to the city to ask for money? Ma Xiaoyao pondered for a moment: "Okay, I will go to the city tomorrow to see if I can get money."
"Are you really going to the city to ask for money?" Cheng Wenyong just said it casually, but he didn't expect Ma Xiaoyao to take it seriously.
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Yes, go to the city to ask for money."
"Xiaoyao...you really want to build roads?" Cheng Wenyong asked.
Ma Xiaoyao smiled and said: "It's not that I want to build roads, but the people of Dongcheng County want to build roads. Since I have become the deputy county magistrate, I will do my best to do practical things for the people. The county's main roads do have some problems."
It is aging and has reached the stage of road construction. Besides... I also want to build Dongcheng County into a garden county most suitable for human habitation. In this way, Dongcheng County will be famous. Once it is famous, it will attract a large number of investors.
Investment will promote the economic development of Dongcheng County and allow the people to live a more prosperous life."
Cheng Wenyong sighed: "Xiaoyao, I really admire your ambition... I really admire you. It is a blessing for the people of Dongcheng County that you can be the deputy county magistrate of Dongcheng County."
"Secretary Cheng, please don't say that. I just did what I should do." Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile.
Through this chat, Cheng Wenyong appreciated Ma Xiaoyao even more.
…
When getting off work in the evening.
Ma Xiaoyao received a call from Gu Li.
"How is it? Is the deputy county magistrate doing his job well?" Gu Li said with a smile.
"It's quite satisfactory, what about you?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"My work has been going relatively smoothly recently. Now I have basically taken control of the city government, Xiaoyao. My work has been relatively relaxed recently. I plan to visit you in the next two days." Gu Li said.
"Really?" Ma Xiaoyao's eyes lit up.
"Of course it's true." Gu Li smiled and said, "Well... just the day after tomorrow. I'll go back to Lanhai City the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, I'm going to the city tomorrow too. Then I'll be waiting for you in the city." Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"What are you going to do in the city tomorrow?" Gu Li asked curiously.
Ma Xiaoyao sighed: "What can I do? I need money. I plan to build a road and need some funds, so I went to the city to ask for money."
"Xiaoyao, I'm not attacking you. If you want to get money from the city... I guess it will be difficult..." Gu Li said.
"I know it's difficult, but I still have to try." Ma Xiaoyao said.
Gu Li pondered for a moment: "Then you go and try, but the hope is slim." Gu Li didn't want to hit Ma Xiaoyao, but she didn't want to deceive Ma Xiaoyao either, she just told the truth.
The two chatted for a while and then ended the call.
Ma Xiaoyao put away his cell phone and left the county government in his car.
"Buzz buzz..."
Ma Xiaoyao had just closed his eyes and planned to rest for a while when his cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. Ma Xiaoyao took out his cell phone and took a look and found that it was Wang Aiqin calling. Ma Xiaoyao twisted his mouth and pressed the answer button.
"Xiaoyao, are you off work?" Wang Aiqin's clear laughter came from the mobile phone.
"Oh...it's time to get off work..." Ma Xiaoyao said.
"Then come out and eat together, I'll treat you." Wang Aiqin said.
"Uh... no need... I'll cost you again..." Ma Xiaoyao said hesitantly.
"Why are you so polite to me? Come on, it's still the same place, Shuiyuexuan Hotel. Come quickly, I've booked a private room, private room 303 on the third floor." After saying that, Wang Aiqin hung up the phone.
Ma Xiaoyao put away her cell phone, shook her head helplessly, and said to the driver: "Go to Shuiyuexuan Hotel."
The driver nodded, turned the car around, and drove in the direction of Shuiyuexuan Hotel. This driver's name was Jin Youde, and he was Ma Xiaoyao's full-time driver.
"Buzz buzz..."
The mobile phone in Jin Youde's pocket rang. Jin Youde drove the car intently and did not answer the phone. The mobile phone kept ringing, which made Ma Xiaoyao frown: "Park the car on the side of the road, you answer the phone."
Give me a call, maybe there's something urgent."
"Yes." Jin Youde slowly parked the car on the side of the road, took out his mobile phone to connect, and after listening to a few words, his expression changed: "Why are you so careless... Mom, are you okay... I'm working now
I'm driving for the leader, and I can't go back... You take care of mom first, and I'll go back later... Okay, that's it."
"What happened?" Ma Xiaoyao asked after Jin Youde hung up the phone.
"I... Mom fell..." Jin Youde said.
"Is it serious?" Ma Xiaoyao asked with concern.
"It must be quite serious, I almost fell into a coma..." Jin Youde said biting his lip.
"Go and see your mother quickly." Ma Xiaoyao said.
"Ah...but the leader..." Jin Youde said hesitantly.
"I'll just take a taxi myself and go take care of your mother." After saying that, Ma Xiaoyao opened the door and got out of the car.
Jin Youde was a little moved: "Deputy County Magistrate Ma, thank you, thank you..."
"Okay, let's go quickly." Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand.
Jin Youde nodded and drove away in the car.
After watching Jin Youde drive away, Ma Xiaoyao stopped a taxi and rushed towards Shuiyuexuan Hotel.
…
Shuiyuexuan Hotel.
Private room 303 on the third floor.
Wang Aiqin hugged Ma Xiaoyao and gave her a wet kiss, which made Ma Xiaoyao almost out of breath.
"Xiaoyao, why don't you come to my place tonight? I bought some interesting underwear. I'll show you some of them when the time comes." Wang Aiqin lay next to Ma Xiaoyao's ear and said softly.
"Uh..." Ma Xiaoyao's expression became a little embarrassed: "Well... I have something to do tonight... I can't go to your place..."
"What's the matter with you?" Wang Aiqin asked reluctantly.
"Private matter...a little private matter...Um, Sister Wang, I'm hungry, let's eat." Ma Xiaoyao gently pushed Wang Aiqin away, pulled out a chair and sat down, picked up the chopsticks and started picking up the food. Ma Xiaoyao nodded.
Head: "Yes, road construction. I hope County Magistrate Du can allocate funds for road construction to me."
Du Haiming's face twitched: "The county doesn't have that much money."
"How much money can the county spend?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
