Volume 3 Senior Officials _1326 Active Invitation No. 3
After the dinner, Hu Fei returned home and immediately took out his cell phone and dialed Sheng Huaming's number, "Mr. Sheng, I didn't disturb you, did I?"
"Afei, if you talk about your status like this again, I won't answer your calls in the future."
A burst of hearty laughter came from the microphone, "I won't be going out on the day that Young Master Hua comes. It's such a pity. By the way, do you have something to do with me?"
"Mr. Sheng, it's like this. Lian Zheng, the director of the Second Supervision Office of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, asked me to come forward. He wants to treat you to dinner. He must have something to discuss."
Hu Fei smiled into the phone and said, "I think this guy is pretty good. If you think it's appropriate, just go have a meal with him and deal with him for a while."
"Oh, you're talking about Lao Lian, I've heard this guy's name before."
Sheng Huaming's laughter came from the phone, "They probably want to ask me for a seat. Don't worry, I don't have to give it to anyone else, but I have to give it to you, A Fei. When the time comes, I'll call Lao Lian
Bar."
"Okay, Mr. Sheng, I won't disturb your rest."
Hu Fei hung up the phone with a smile, threw the phone away and went to take a shower.
When he woke up the next day, it started to rain lightly. Hu Fei could only exercise in the bedroom. After breakfast, he drove the children to school. On the way back, his cell phone rang.
"Hello, are you Mayor Hu Fei of Wuling City?"
As soon as the phone was connected, a man's voice came out of the phone.
"Yes, I am Hu Fei from Wuling City. Who are you?"
"Hello, Mayor Hu, I am Wan Fang, director of the Capital Construction Division of the Provincial Department of Transportation."
"Director Wan, hello, hello."
Hu Fei said excitedly into the microphone, "Is there something wrong with our city's highway approval documents?"
"Well, there is a small problem with the document, just some details. Can you come to the hall for an interview?"
The attitude on the other end of the microphone is quite respectful, which can be heard from the voice. It is not at all the arrogant tone that you usually hear from large departments at the provincial level.
The Department of Capital Construction is responsible for the design approval and review of construction drawings of expressways and trunk roads in the province. Hu Fei naturally knows this very well.
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
Hu Fei hung up the phone, quickly started the car, turned around and sped towards the courtyard of the Transportation Department.
In fact, Hu Fei was really shocked. He thought there was something wrong with the city's project approval report. However, when he arrived at the Capital Construction Department, he found out that it was not a big problem, but that Zeng Lu had asked him to go to the Transportation Department.
It's just an excuse to meet.
In Wan Fang's office, Hu Fei chatted with him for a while, not about the project report, but about the situation of Jiangnan Province Expressway. He didn't say a word about the problem with the document he just mentioned on the phone.
Not to mention, Hu Fei would naturally understand Wan Fang's intention.
During the conversation, Wan Fang also mentioned the difficulties of Deputy Director Zeng Lu from time to time, and also hinted that Director Zeng had put a lot of effort into this expressway project in Wuling City. The implication was that he asked Hu Fei to go to Zeng Lu to express his gratitude.
meaning.
Of course Hu Fei understood Wan Fang's hint, but even if he gave Zeng Lu money, would he dare to accept it? However, of course, he could not say this out loud.
"Director Wan, Director Zeng is in the office. I wanted to report to him last time I came here. Unfortunately, I didn't meet him after several visits. What a pity."
"Yes, yes, he went out for research a few times before."
Wan Fang chuckled and thought to himself, didn't you say you wanted to come to visit the thatched cottage three times? Why did you stop coming after only two times? I have never seen someone so arrogant when running a project. Where can I come to the Transportation Department?
Don’t run a project ten or eight times?
"Then I will report to Director Zeng now."
Hu Fei stood up with a smile and said, "Director Wan, thank you. I will treat you to dinner another day when I have time."
"You're welcome, it's all work."
Wan Fang stood up with a smile and personally sent Hu Fei out the door.
This time, Zeng Lu's secretary saw Hu Fei and greeted him enthusiastically, "Mayor Hu, hello, the boss is in the office today. Please come here to have a glass of water and take a rest. I will report to the boss right away."
"Okay, thank you."
Hu Fei smiled politely, took the water glass and took a sip.
After a while, the secretary came back and enthusiastically sent Hu Fei into Zeng Lu's office.
"Hello, Director Zeng, I finally meet you."
Hu Fei extended his hand to Zeng Lu eagerly, and Zeng Lu shook hands with Hu Fei rather reservedly, "Mayor Hu, I'm sorry. Unfortunately, I went out for inspection and research a few days ago. Please sit down."
"I have read your Wuling expressway project report, but you also know the current situation of expressways in our province. All states and cities want to build expressways, and they are all counting on funding from the Department of Transportation."
His voice paused and he let out a long sigh, "But you also know the suffering in our hall. So many places need to build expressways..."
After Zeng Lu complained a lot to Hu Fei, he finally said that he would give priority to the expressway project in Wuling City, and at the same time hinted that it would be enough to ask Tian Ming to come in person.
In Zeng Lu's understanding, the average leading cadres knew what was going on and what to do next. They had a banquet in the evening. It was inappropriate to ask Tian Ming to serve him tea and admit his mistakes in a place like the office.
Yes, I can only hint to Hu Fei to ask Tian Ming to come forward once.
However, Hu Fei didn't seem to understand, which made Zeng Lu very depressed. Damn, is this kid really stupid or is he pretending to be stupid? If he is really stupid, you must understand the rules of the officialdom, right?
You don't even know how to treat me to a meal. At least you can tell him clearly at the wine table that all Tian Ming needs to do is come to him and give in.
"Director Zeng, I'm sorry to have bothered you for so long."
Hu Fei raised his wrist and took a look, then quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, Director Zeng, for taking the time to see me. Please also pay some attention to our project."
"No problem, I will consider it carefully."
Zeng Lu felt very unhappy and didn't bother to get up to see him off. You, the person who came to run the project, acted like a leader of the provincial party committee came to inspect. You really treated yourself like a dish.
After leaving the office building of the Department of Transportation, Hu Fei looked back at the beautiful office building behind him and shook his head slowly. The bureaucratic thinking of these officials was almost ingrained. If they want to change, it may not be possible in a few years.
.
After getting in the car, Hu Fei took out his mobile phone and dialed Tian Ming's mobile phone.
"Mayor Hu, how is the situation? Is it done?"
As soon as the call was connected, Tian Ming's urgent voice came from the phone.
"Mayor, after all my efforts, Zeng Lu finally agreed."
Hu Fei smiled into the microphone.
"Oh, that's good, that's good."
A long exhale came from the phone, "When will the Department of Transportation get the approval?"
"However, Zeng Lu has a condition. He wants you to come to Baisha to meet him in person."
