Chapter 1936 Too many monks and too little porridge
The young man poked Wu Changsheng in the arm and said with a smile, "Brother Sheng, I thought of a way to make that kid drink a pot."
"What can we do?" Wu Changsheng turned to look at the other party.
"Brother Sheng, you can do this..." The young man leaned close to Wu Changsheng's ear and whispered.
Wu Changsheng blinked after hearing this, "Is this possible?"
"Of course it's feasible." The young man said confidently.
Wu Changsheng frowned, "Are you sure they are willing to cooperate with you?"
"Haha, you are my father's subordinate after all. I believe I have that respect." The young man said with a grin.
"If it's feasible, we can do it." Wu Changsheng suddenly cheered up.
The two were plotting in the car. At the door of the hotel, Qiao Liang and Lu Yucai walked into the hotel welcoming Deputy Director Zhang in the hall.
Deputy Director Zhang's name was Zhang Baoqing. When the three of them walked to the hotel, Zhang Baoqing also heard Lu Yucai's introduction and learned that Qiao Liang was the county magistrate of Songbei. Zhang Baoqing also had a flash of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that Songbei would actually report to Songbei. The matter of project funding is so taken seriously that even the county magistrate has taken action personally.
"County Magistrate Qiao, no wonder you look familiar to me. You just came back from a temporary job in Liangbei, right?" Zhang Baoqing's attitude towards Qiao Liang suddenly became polite, "I have read your propaganda reports in the newspaper before. Li is promoting you as a model of excellence."
"That's the love shown to me by the province. In fact, I just did what a cadre should do." Qiao Liang said modestly.
"County Magistrate Qiao is too modest. There are still very few cadres who can promote propaganda in the province." Zhang Baoqing said.
The three of them walked into the box while chatting. After a brief exchange, the relationship became closer. After sitting down, Lu Yucai immediately wanted to arrange a drink. Zhang Baoqing quickly waved his hand and said, "Director Lu, I won't drink anymore. I have to drink in the afternoon." At work."
When Lu Yucai heard this, he didn't force anything and said with a smile, "Then let's just eat."
After chatting for a while, Zhang Baoqing also knew the purpose of Qiao Liang and Lu Yucai's visit, and said, "County Magistrate Qiao, Director Lu, I know you came here to apply for financial support for the provincial education project, but to be honest, this I really can't help you much."
"Director Zhang, what you say is very modest. This project planning and construction approval is in charge of your Development Planning Department. I believe Director Zhang can definitely speak." Lu Yucai said with a smile.
"Director Lu, you don't know that since the provincial documents were issued yesterday, the number of calls in our department has been almost overwhelming. They are all coming to learn about the funding subsidy for this project. There are really too many to apply for. Zhang Baoqing shook his head and smiled, "Director Lu, to tell you the truth, I received at least a dozen calls asking for dinner last night to this morning. Because you called early last night, I agreed in advance, otherwise I would I really may not be able to come over at noon today."
Zhang Baoqing took out his cell phone as he spoke, opened the call history and showed it to Lu Yucai, indicating that he had not deceived Lu Yucai.
Lu Yucai was not surprised at all when he heard this result. Just as he said to Qiao Liang yesterday afternoon, there are more people than people and there must be many people who are eyeing the provincial fund subsidy. If they don't act quickly, they may not even be able to drink the soup in the end. superior.
Thinking in his mind, Lu Yucai smiled and said, "Director Zhang, so many people calling you shows how important you are."
"Haha, too many people are eyeing the funds for this project, so I can't make the decision." Zhang Baoqing smiled, "Director Lu, to tell you the truth, now the application for this project requires at least the nod of our director, and then the higher-ups will be responsible for it. It will be signed by the deputy director and then sent to the Provincial Development and Reform Commission for review, so this matter is not something that I, the deputy director, can decide."
Hearing this, Lu Yucai's eyes flashed with disappointment. He knew that it was not that Zhang Baoqing couldn't help at all, but that he didn't have a good relationship with him. Why should he put in the effort to help him? He had to apply for financial subsidies for this project. I don’t know how many there are. Who should I help? Why should I help them?
At this time, Lu Yu turned to look at Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang smiled and said, "Director Zhang, come on, let's eat first. We will only eat at noon today and won't talk about business."
When Lu Yucai heard this, he quickly agreed, "That's right, Director Zhang, let's eat first."
Zhang Baoqing smiled and nodded, and looked at Qiao Liang. He actually wanted to make friends with Qiao Liang. After all, a young county magistrate like Qiao Liang might have a bright future and might be useful at some point.
After thinking about it, Zhang Baoqing said, "Let's do this, County Magistrate Qiao, I will help you invite our director tonight. If you can invite our director out, you can talk to our director yourself tonight about this matter. The director’s words are more effective.”
"That's great, Director Zhang, thank you so much." Qiao Liang thanked you.
"County Magistrate Qiao is too polite, there's only so much I can help." Zhang Baoqing said with a smile.
"Whether it works or not, we all owe Director Zhang a favor." Qiao Liang smiled again.
When Zhang Baoqing heard this, the smile on his face became a little wider.
The three of them chatted while eating. After eating for half an hour, Zhang Baoqing stood up and left.
Qiao Liang and Lu Yucai sent Zhang Baoqing to the door of the hotel again and watched him take a taxi and leave.
Just after Zhang Baoqing got in the car, his cell phone rang. Seeing that the caller ID showed an unfamiliar number, Zhang Baoqing wondered which district or county education system was calling, and picked up the call without thinking.
"Director Zhang Da, are you busy?"
A carefree voice sounded on the other end of the phone. It sounded very young. Zhang Baoqing frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
"Why, Director Zhang Da can't hear my voice?" the other party teased.
Hearing what the other party said, Zhang Baoqing frowned, thinking that some young man came to amuse him on purpose, and said rather displeasedly, "Who are you?"
"Haha, Director Zhang Da is a noble man who forgets things a lot. It seems he has really forgotten me. I am Tian Xiaoyang."
"Master Tian?" Zhang Baoqing looked surprised and quickly put on a smile, "Master Tian, why did you remember to call me?"
"Why, I can't call you?" Tian Xiaoyang said with a smile.
"Master Tian, that's not what I meant." Zhang Baoqing explained quickly.
"Director Zhang, let's meet." Tian Xiaoyang said and gave the address of a coffee shop. Zhang Baoqing could not refuse and said, "I'll wait for you in the shop. Come over as soon as possible."
Tian Xiaoyang hung up the phone immediately after speaking.
Zhang Baoqing was stunned for a moment while holding his cell phone, and then quickly asked the driver to drive over.
Although he didn't know why Tian Xiaoyang was looking for him, Zhang Baoqing didn't dare to ignore him. He was the son of Deputy Director Tian in the department. Deputy Director Tian happened to be in charge of their department and was the immediate boss of his immediate boss. Zhang Baoqing didn't dare to offend him. 's son.
The reason why Zhang Baoqing knew Tian Xiaoyang was because he had visited Deputy Director Tian's home several times and thus met Tian Xiaoyang.
Arriving at the coffee shop that Tian Xiaoyang mentioned, Zhang Baoqing walked into the box and saw that there was a third person in the box. He looked at the other person calmly, walked quickly to Tian Xiaoyang, and said with a smile, "Master Tian, look for me." I?"
"Director Zhang, sit down." Tian Xiaoyang said with a smile.
Zhang Baoqing sat down after hearing this and looked at Tian Xiaoyang, waiting for Tian Xiaoyang to continue.
"Director Zhang, did you just have dinner with County Magistrate Qiao of Songbei County?" Tian Xiaoyang got straight to the point and asked directly.
Zhang Baoqing was shocked when he heard this. Was Tian Xiaoyang following him?
Zhang Baoqing was just thinking when he heard Tian Xiaoyang say, "You don't have to think too much, I saw it accidentally. I don't have the time to follow you yet."
Zhang Baoqing was stunned when he heard this, and it made sense now. It was abnormal for Tian Xiaoyang to really follow him.
Nodding, Zhang Baoqing said, "Yes, I just had dinner with County Magistrate Qiao of Songbei County and Director Lu of their County Education Bureau."
"What are they looking for you for?" Tian Xiaoyang asked.
Zhang Baoqing glanced at Tian Xiaoyang, wondering why Tian Xiaoyang asked this, but still replied, "The province has issued a document, mainly to support the following projects to rebuild and expand primary and secondary schools..."
Zhang Baoqing gave a brief explanation, and Tian Xiaoyang understood what was going on.
"Director Zhang, have you agreed to this?" Tian Xiaoyang glanced at Zhang Baoqing.
"Young Master Tian is joking. I am a soft-spoken person. How can I make the decision? At least Director Zhou can speak." Zhang Baoqing said quickly.
Tian Xiaoyang nodded. The Director Zhou mentioned by the other party was Zhou Lianchun, the top leader of the Development Planning Department.
After understanding what was going on, Tian Xiaoyang became more and more confident about his plan.
The person sitting next to Tian Xiaoyang was Wu Changsheng. Tian Xiaoyang exchanged glances with Wu Changsheng. Soon, Tian Xiaoyang waved to Zhang Baoqing, motioning for Zhang Baoqing to come closer and said, "Director Zhang, let me tell you something."
"Master Tian, what's the matter?" Zhang Baoqing approached Tian Xiaoyang.
Tian Xiaoyang spoke softly to Zhang Baoqing. Zhang Baoqing was shocked after hearing this and stuttered, "Tian...Young Master Tian, this...isn't this good?"
"Huh? Director Zhang doesn't want to give me this face?" Tian Xiaoyang's face turned cold.
"Master Tian, it's not that I don't give you face, it's just this matter..." Zhang Baoqing looked embarrassed, rolled his eyes and said, "Master Tian, if I really want to do as you say, then I have to use Director Zhou to do this. The title requires Director Zhou’s nod. If Director Zhou is not willing, I won’t dare agree.”
Zhang Baoqing pushed the matter to Director Zhou Lianchun, who was not present, and wanted to deal with it first, but Tian Xiaoyang said, "I will go and talk to Director Zhou, and he will definitely agree. You just need to do what I say." Just do it.”
Hearing what Tian Xiaoyang said, Zhang Baoqing secretly complained in his heart, but he could not refuse directly. However, Zhang Baoqing also realized that if he cooperated with Tian Xiaoyang this time, it would be equivalent to indirectly pleasing Tian Xiaoyang. As far as he knew, Director Zhou Lianchun had He may be transferred to a city below to serve as the director of the Education Bureau, and the position of director will be vacant. If he can get along with Tian Xiaoyang and do his father's work through Tian Xiaoyang, he may be able to successfully take over the position of director. .
Thinking of this, Zhang Baoqing's expression changed...
