Du Haiming had to admit that Ma Xiaoyao's eloquence was really good. If he succeeded, Du Haiming could be promoted. If he didn't succeed, there would be no harm. At least he would get praise and support from the people. Although Du Haiming was already a little moved, he was not in a hurry to reply to Ma Xiaoyao.
: "I need to think about it."
"Okay, I'll wait for your reply." Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first. If you make a decision, just call me." After saying that, Ma Xiaoyao stood up and was about to leave. He just walked out a few steps.
Ma Xiaoyao stopped and turned to look at Du Haiming: "County Magistrate Du, you'd better keep what I told you today secret and don't tell anyone else, especially Li Ming. You should also know that Li Ming and I
If you don't deal with it, if Li Ming finds out about this, he will definitely obstruct it, which will be no good to you or me." After saying that, Ma Xiaoyao strode out of the office.
After Ma Xiaoyao left, Du Haiming fell into deep thought.
Two days later.
Ma Xiaoyao received Du Haiming's reply.
"I'm sorry, after careful consideration, I can't allocate funds for you to build the road." Du Haiming's attitude was very cold.
Ma Xiaoyao was stunned: "County Magistrate Du... have you thought it through? You don't want to be promoted?"
"Of course I want to be promoted." Du Haiming said: "But I won't rely on you, Ma Xiaoyao. I admit that you are very eloquent and almost deceived me. How can it be so easy to build a county-level city? The total number of people in the country is
How many county-level cities are there? With the geographical location and economic strength of Dongcheng County, it is impossible for Dongcheng County to become a county-level city!"
"Who says it's impossible? As long as you give me time, I can do it..." Before Ma Xiaoyao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Du Haiming.
"Everyone can talk big, Ma Xiaoyao. I admit that you have some ability and can do a lot of things, but if you want to build Dongcheng County into a county-level city, it is almost impossible. To take a step back, even if you can really build Dongcheng County into a county-level city,
County-level cities also take a long time, and they will definitely not be successful within one or two years. I am already in my forties and cannot afford to wait." Du Haiming said: "Instead of wasting time with you, I might as well find someone else.
the way."
"County Magistrate Du, building a county-level city is very time-consuming, but once you succeed, you will not only be promoted, but you will also have great political achievements..." Ma Xiaoyao said: "It will have a great impact on your future promotion.
help!"
"Stop talking, even if you tell the truth, I won't cooperate with you." Du Haiming said lightly: "I have something else to do and I don't have time to chat with you." After that, Du Haiming ended the call.
Ma Xiaoyao held the microphone with an unusually ugly face. He did not expect that Du Haiming would reject him so decisively. Without Du Haiming's support, he would not be able to raise the money to build the road. What should he do? What should he do next?
After much deliberation, Ma Xiaoyao could only think of one way, and that was to ask Liu Yuncai, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, for help. To be honest, Ma Xiaoyao really didn’t want to trouble Liu Yuncai. Liu Yuncai had already helped him enough... But if he didn’t ask Liu Yuncai for help, Ma Xiaoyao would
I can't think of any other way...
You're such a damn coward! When you encounter difficulties, you have to ask others for help!
At this moment, Ma Xiaoyao's desire for power is very great. Only when he has great power can he live happily.
"Sigh... I just want to do something practical for the people, why is it so difficult to implement it?" Ma Xiaoyao sighed helplessly. After calming down, Ma Xiaoyao picked up the phone and called Liu Yuncai.
After the call got through, Ma Xiaoyao explained the difficulties he encountered to Liu Yuncai in detail.
Liu Yuncai was very kind and agreed to help Ma Xiaoyao solve this problem.
After receiving Liu Yuncai's affirmative reply, Ma Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Secretary Liu, I'm sorry... I always cause you trouble..." Ma Xiaoyao said embarrassedly.
"You are overthinking it." Liu Yuncai smiled and said, "You are also dedicated to helping the people do practical things. I will definitely support you. Don't worry, I will call Du Haiming later and ask him why he didn't allocate funds to you."
"Secretary Liu, thank you." Ma Xiaoyao said gratefully.
"If you want to thank me, just work hard and make more achievements." Liu Yuncai chuckled.
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Yes, I will definitely work hard and never let you down."
"Well, I'll see how you behave in the future... Okay, I'm going to have a meeting later, so let's stop here." After saying that, Liu Yuncai hung up the phone.
Ma Xiaoyao put down the phone, exhaled gently, and said to himself: "I must work hard! I can't let Secretary Liu down!"
That afternoon, Ma Xiaoyao received a call from Du Haiming.
"Deputy County Magistrate Ma, I will allocate funds to you tomorrow, but the county's finances are relatively tight, so I'm afraid I won't be able to give you too much money." Du Haiming was very angry. Not long ago, he received a call from Liu Yuncai.
On the phone, Liu Yuncai beat him hard and asked Du Haiming why he didn't allocate money to Ma Xiaoyao to build roads. Did he want to use the public funds from the county finance for his own use? After being beaten hard by Liu Yuncai, Du Haiming
He immediately lost his temper and obediently gave Ma Xiaoyao money.
"Oh, I wonder how much money County Magistrate Du can allocate to me at most?" Ma Xiaoyao nodded secretly. Liu Yuncai was really efficient in doing things. He got Du Haiming to agree to allocate funds so quickly. Alas... A high position is good, just make a phone call
, can make County Magistrate Du Haiming surrender.
"Well...20 million at most..." Du Haiming said.
"Twenty million? It's too little. It's not enough to build roads." Ma Xiaoyao shook his head.
"Ma Xiaoyao, the county's finances are also very tight..." Du Haiming said.
"No matter how nervous I am, I have to allocate money to build roads... What, I have already made a guarantee with Secretary Liu that the roads must be built before the end of this year. If the task is not completed by then, I will definitely
You will be punished, but Magistrate Du... I'm afraid you won't be able to escape the involvement." Ma Xiaoyao moved out of Liu Yuncai to scare Du Haiming.
"Don't use Secretary Liu to pressure me. The county's finances are indeed not rich. I can't give you all the money to build roads, right? Let's do this. I'll give you another five million...a total of twenty-five million."
" Du Haiming said.
"Thirty million." Ma Xiaoyao opened his mouth and asked for 30 million.
"No, it's too much..." Du Haiming disagreed.
"County Magistrate Du, building roads is a great thing that benefits the people, why don't you support it?" Ma Xiaoyao pouted: "How about I tell the people of Dongcheng County that I plan to build roads, but
If you don't agree, let the common people come to talk to you?" Ma Xiaoyao's move was quite damaging, as he directly let the common people in the county come to trouble Du Haiming.
"You..." Du Haiming was furious: "How dare you threaten me!"
"I didn't threaten you, I just told the truth." Du Haiming had been offended anyway, so Ma Xiaoyao didn't have too many scruples about what he said.
"Okay, you're awesome... I'll give you 30 million!" Du Haiming said and hung up the phone.
Ma Xiaoyao put down the phone and went directly to the Finance Bureau.
Du Haiming kept his word and asked the Finance Bureau to allocate 30 million to Ma Xiaoyao. Ma Xiaoyao created a separate account and deposited the money. The password was set by Ma Xiaoyao himself. No one else except Ma Xiaoyao could use the money.
money.
The expressway is about to be completed. It has spent a total of 15 million, and there is still 5 million left. These 5 million were saved by Ma Xiaoyao tightening his belt and working hard, plus the money allocated by Du Haiming.
Ma Xiaoyao now has a total of 35 million in hand, which is not a small amount of money, but it may not be enough to build roads.
Ma Xiaoyao calculated that 35 million would be enough to build the main road, but it would be difficult to build a dozen other branch roads at the same time.
Ma Xiaoyao always does things from beginning to end, either not doing it or doing it well. Since he has made up his mind to build roads, he must repair all the main roads and branch roads in the county. In this way, the funding gap will be too big.
.
Originally, Ma Xiaoyao planned to repair the roads in towns and rural areas, but now it seems that it is unlikely. To put it bluntly, there are not enough funds. It is impossible to repair all the roads in the county... So Ma Xiaoyao
Xiaoyao can only repair the roads in the county first, and then build roads in towns and rural areas when he has money later. Ma Xiaoyao's goal is very simple, that is, to do everything possible to make the people of Dongcheng County live a good life.
Regardless of whether they are people in the county or people in towns and villages, their status in Ma Xiaoyao's mind is the same. The goal is good, but it is too difficult to implement.
The expressway has entered the final stage and will probably be completed successfully in a few days.
Ma Xiaoyao is very confident about the quality of the expressway. From the beginning to the completion of the expressway, Ma Xiaoyao has been supervising it. It can be said that the expressway does not cut corners at all and absolutely meets the national inspection standards.
…
In the evening.
Wu Ziyou came to Zhao Huan's house carrying some cold dishes.
"Old Wu, you're here." Zhao Huan took the cold dishes from Wu Ziyou's hand, then took two plates and poured the cold dishes into the plates.
Wu Ziyou pulled up a chair and sat down: "Bring me a bottle of wine."
Zhao Huan turned around and took out a bottle of liquor from the cabinet, opened the cap, and poured Wu Ziyou a glass.
Wu Ziyou picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Hey... drink slowly..." Zhao Huan frowned.
"Pour me some more!" Wu Ziyou said, putting down his glass.
"What's wrong with you? Are you worried?" Zhao Huan asked.
"Why do you talk so much nonsense? You didn't hear me when I asked you to pour wine!" Wu Ziyou said in a deep voice.
"You..." Zhao Huan was so angry: "I care about you well, but you reprimand me, you are so heartless!" Zhao Huan threw down the wine bottle, turned around and sat on the bed, his eyes a little red.
Wu Ziyou twisted his mouth: "Are you really angry?"
Zhao Huan ignored Wu Ziyou. Du Haiming had to admit that Ma Xiaoyao's eloquence was really good. If it succeeded, Du Haiming would be promoted. If it didn't succeed, there would be no harm. At least he would get praise and support from the people. Although Du Haiming was already a little moved, but
