If she hadn't really saved "Xiaoyue" that day, how could she treat herself to a meal, and how could she let others help her?
Could it be that "Xiaoyue" asked someone to dispose of the crushed Audi car? And did not report the crime or report the situation to the local government? This is possible.
"Xiaoyue" is a business person. Business people don't care much if they can solve it with money.
Xiao Zheng couldn't explain much to Jin Hui. He could only say: "I still think that the mountains on this road need to be solved as soon as possible."
Jin Hui said impatiently: "The key is still the issue of money. Who doesn't want to do more good things if you have money? If you can get the money, I will definitely not object."
"I'm going to get the money?" Xiao Zheng thought, what do you, the deputy mayor, do? But he also thought that saying this would hurt Jin Hui too much, so he kept silent.
What I was thinking was, when will I have the opportunity to mention it to Mayor Guan, maybe Mayor Guan will agree?
Of course, this possibility is very small. No matter how small it is, you have to try.
When we arrived at Fengqi Village, the air was filled with smoke and dust, making it difficult to breathe.
Along the way, the doors of villagers' houses were kept tightly closed for fear that smoke and dust would enter the house.
Villagers in Fengqi Village, if they hang their clothes outside to dry, they can shake off a layer of dust when they bring them in at night.
Xiao Zheng knew that the Lushui Natural Village where his home was located was not much better. The door was only opened twice a day, once in the morning when he went to work and the other time when he returned home. The door to the house was closed at other times.
Therefore, after Xiao Zheng graduated from university and started working, although it was only more than ten miles from the town to the village and less than half an hour by motorcycle, Xiao Zheng's parents did not allow him to return to the village and preferred to let him live in the village.
The air in the old dormitories in the town should be cleaner after all.
But my parents still lived in such a bad environment, and many of Murakami's relatives, friends, and childhood friends also lived in such an environment.
He, a college student, and a town cadre, could not help at all to this day. Xiao Zheng felt heartbroken when he thought about this.
Xiao Zheng originally thought that Jin Hui would take him to inspect the mine, and once again asked for rectification, urging the village to make rectifications.
But when they arrived at Fengqi Village, the village chief Liu Jianming was already waiting downstairs. When he saw Jin Hui and Xiao Zheng, he came forward to greet them: "Mayor Jin, Director Xiao, come to my office for tea."
Village chief Liu Jianming said "Director Xiao", which made Xiao Zheng feel very uncomfortable.
Just a few days ago, Xiao Zheng had been waiting outside Liu Jianming's office for two and a half hours. When it was time for dinner, Liu Jianming just went to eat with the owner of the cement factory, not caring whether Xiao Zheng had eaten or not.
Xiao Zheng said: "Village Chief Liu, I am not 'Director Xiao'. I am Xiao Zheng. You can call me Xiao Xiao."
Seeing that Xiao Zheng was a bit competitive, Deputy Mayor Jin Hui smiled and said: "Yes, Xiao Zheng is no longer 'Director Xiao' now. I'm afraid he will be called 'Commissioner Xiao' in a few days."
Village Chief Liu immediately said: "Yes, yes, I made a mistake. It was 'Commissioner Xiao'."
Xiao Zheng was too lazy to correct him, but he knew clearly in his heart that if he was not promoted in the end, Liu Jianming's title would immediately become "Xiao Zheng" or "Xiao Xiao".
While walking inside, Jin Hui asked: "Is Secretary Ma here?"
Village Chief Liu said: "Secretary Ma has something to do today and is not here."
Jin Hui said: "That's okay, even if the village chief is here."
Village Chief Liu said: "Mayor Jin, Secretary Ma is not here today, so I will come to entertain you at noon. In the past, when Secretary Ma was here, he would sit on the east side, but with great difficulty, he is not around. Today, I can finally let me sit on the east side!"
Mayor Jin glanced at Village Chief Liu and said with a smile: "No wonder, Village Chief Liu strongly requested me to come to the village today, so he wanted to sit back in the east!"
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he understood why Jin Hui took the initiative to come to the village today. It turned out that village chief Liu called Jin Hui and wanted to make a meal for Jin Hui at noon.
Xiao Zheng felt a little dissatisfied. What was he doing eating and drinking all day? With this money, why not reinforce the mountain and solve the safety problem of the quarry?
It is true that food is the first priority for the people, but Xiao Zheng believes that as a cadre, whether it is a town cadre or a village cadre, he must first solve the problem.
Now that the problems at hand have been solved, it's not impossible to relax with a glass of wine occasionally. But if the problem hangs there, eating and drinking are still on tenterhooks. Is that soothing?
But Jin Hui obviously didn't think so, he seemed to like this feeling very much.
Not long after arriving at Village Chief Liu's office, Jin Hui also put forward opinions on the safety issues of the village's stone mines.
Village Chief Liu said: "During lunch, Director Wang Guilong of the cement factory will also come. By then, the quarry safety issues that Mayor Jin is concerned about may really be solved."
Xiao Zheng was puzzled after hearing this. Wang Guilong of the cement factory can solve the quarry safety problem? Is this reliable? He asked: "How to solve it?"
Village Chief Liu smiled and said: "Director Wang Guilong, you are rich."
Xiao Zheng asked: "Is he willing to donate money?"
Village Chief Liu shook his head and said, "That's not true. We'll find out later after dinner."
At half past ten, Village Chief Liu took Mayor Jin and Xiao Zheng to the small restaurant.
This meal was really early. However, Xiao Zheng wanted to know how Wang Guilong could help solve the mine's safety problems, so he followed him.
This meal was Wang Guilong's treat. Hard vegetables such as bamboo chicken, soft-shell turtle, and duck were served, as well as bamboo shoots, lichen and other seasonal vegetables.
These dishes are all from outside. Fengqi Village, which is mainly engaged in mining, does not have this kind of food. They also serve Nanshan Tequ, and everyone is given Huayan.
After three rounds of drinking, Xiao Zheng asked Village Chief Liu how to solve the mine safety problem.
Wang Guilong interrupted and said that his cement factory has now received a large order from a construction company in Shanghai and needs a large amount of cement, so he hopes that the village can open another mountain mine and provide it to his cement factory.
If he sells it to Shanghai, he will make more money, and he can give some money to the village every year to carry out mine safety improvements.
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he became angry: "The mines in this village have seriously damaged the ecological environment. The output can only be reduced, not increased!"
Xiao Zheng said it eloquently.
When Wang Guilong heard this, he became anxious and turned to Deputy Mayor Jin Hui: "Mayor Jin, you should have the final say on this matter, right? Why does it seem like Director Xiao has the final say?"
Jin Hui glanced at Xiao Zheng and said, "Xiao Zheng, don't get excited. If you have something to say, speak slowly."
Xiao Zheng didn't want to eat this meal anymore, and said: "We have been to Fengqi Village so many times and made many rectification suggestions. However, instead of solving the problem, the village wants to open more mines and increase production. This has nothing to do with safe production.
, the requirements to control the mines are contrary to the requirements. Mayor Jin, I have eaten enough, so I will leave first!"
After saying that, Xiao Zheng actually stood up and came out of the box.
There was silence in the box.
But Village Chief Liu immediately said: "Xiao Zheng, you are still too young. Mayor Jin, let's continue drinking."
Director Wang also echoed: "Mayor Jin, let's ignore him and continue drinking. There are few people today, and I still have cigarettes here. Mayor Jin, you smoke."
Then he put three packs of cigarettes in front of Jin Hui.
Xiao Zheng came out of the hotel and asked the driver to take him back to town first and then pick up Mayor Jin.
On the way, Xiao Zheng suddenly received a call from the county.
"Is this Comrade Xiao Zheng? At 1:30 this afternoon, please come to the Organization Department of the County Party Committee for a talk."
Xiao Zheng was stunned: "Conversation? What conversation?" He wanted to ask clearly.
The other party said: "This is a cadre talk. The County Party Committee Standing Committee meeting was held this morning, so I invite you to come and have a talk. You will know when you come."
Xiao Zheng didn't know the cadre who called, and the other person's words were vague, so it was hard for him to ask again. Even if he asked again, I'm afraid the other person wouldn't say much.
Xiao Zheng felt uneasy. Was he promoted or eliminated this time? He didn't know. Xiao Zheng wanted to ask someone, but who could he ask?
Xiao Zheng recalled that it had been more than 7 years since he returned to his hometown to work, but he still didn’t know anyone in the organization department of the county party committee. He deserved not to be promoted in these years!
"Then I'll go back to pick up Mayor Jin." The driver placed Xiao Zheng at the door of the town government and said to Xiao Zheng through the window.
Xiao Zheng said: "Yes, yes, you go pick up Mayor Jin."
After only eating a few bites of lunch in Fengqi Village, Xiao Zheng felt that his stomach was not full yet, so he walked towards the cafeteria.
Most of the cadres in the town have already had lunch, but some cadres have just finished eating and are walking over from the town government canteen.
After seeing Xiao Zheng, two little girls from the Family Planning Office said hello to Xiao Zheng.
"Are you just eating now?"
"Eating too late can easily hurt your stomach."
These two little girls from the family planning office are actually pretty good-looking. They walk with each other on their backs, and they have an endearingly coy attitude.
However, Xiao Zheng knew very well that they were no different from anyone else in the town.
When they met Xiao Zheng before, most of the time they turned a blind eye or turned away and walked by.
Today I took the initiative to say hello to myself because I was recommended for inspection.
Next, if he was not promoted and laughed at him behind his back, they would probably have a share.
Xiao Zheng continued walking towards the cafeteria and met Song Guoming, secretary of the town party committee, at the door.
Song Guoming was picking his teeth with a toothpick as he walked out. After catching a glimpse of Xiao Zheng, he was slightly stunned, took the toothpick out of his mouth, but continued to walk forward without speaking to Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng felt that Song Guoming was still real enough. He had opinions about him before, and he still had the same attitude now.
Xiao Zheng wondered again, could it be that Song Guoming had privately learned that he, Xiao Zheng, was eliminated instead of being promoted?
Xiao Zheng thought about what Chen Hong told him in the morning, that only 60% of the candidates selected this time will be used, and the remaining 40% will be eliminated. Then I am afraid that he will be the one eliminated, right?
There were not many dishes left in the canteen, so Xiao Zheng ordered a portion of roast pork with bamboo shoots, tea eggs and stewed vegetable stems, and started eating.
At this time, a figure hurried in from outside and shouted: "Is there any more food? Is there any more food? It's late again today."
This person's voice was so familiar that Xiao Zheng knew it was Cai Shaohua, director of the Party and Government Office, without even raising his head.
In the town, Cai Shaohua is famous for eating later than anyone else. He always appears busy in front of others to create an impression of hard work among the leaders.
General cadres know what kind of tricks Cai Shaohua is playing, but leaders are very satisfied with his tricks.
Xiao Zheng didn't even visit him, he just ate by himself. He had to go to the county later, and he didn't have much time.
However, unexpectedly, Cai Shaohua, who had prepared the meal, actually sat down next to Xiao Zheng's table.
