"Xiao Huang, what's wrong? What are the people from the city doing? Aren't there many leaders in the township government?"
The visitor was Huang Cheng from the Party and Government Office. Hu Fei walked over with his leather shoes and waved to him, "Okay, don't come over here. Don't get yourself dirty. Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Head of the township, someone from the city's newspaper office has come to interview you. The secretary asked you to go back quickly..."
Huang Cheng gasped for breath and reported the situation concisely.
"Ah, someone from the city newspaper came to interview me?"
Hu Fei was confused, but he immediately reacted when he heard the word "city newspaper". He turned around and glared at Wen Jingfang. It must be this little girl who wrote propaganda reports for the city newspaper again. She was not asked to write more about grassroots village cadres.
Well, why do you keep focusing on yourself?
"Township Chief, you can't blame me. It was Township Chief Kuang who asked me to write it. She said that my writing style is delicate and sensational, and you have always been fighting on the front line. Promote your image more to our township government.
There are benefits too.”
Wen Jingfang blushed and thought to herself, those village cadres are no longer responsible for you as the township head. They only care about their own families. How can they care about the lives of others? How can such people publicize and report?
However, she still felt a little proud in her heart. It seemed that the last article published in the city newspaper attracted the attention of the leaders, so they sent people to the countryside to interview the mayor.
"You little girl, there are so many people coming out of the township government, who can't you write about?"
Hu Fei shook his head, "I just want to do things down-to-earth and keep a low profile. The secretary criticized me at the last meeting, saying that I was too public and was so happy about my achievements. Wouldn't your publicity make it more obvious that I came out to inspect the disaster?
It was deliberately hyped.”
"Township Chief, we can't control so much when talking about other people. Let them say what they want to say." Wen Jingfang chuckled, "Anyway, the people in Maziying Township know that Chief Hu Fei is the number one
Someone who has their best interests at heart.”
"Okay, stop talking and go back quickly."
Hu Fei waved his hand and put away his umbrella, "Xiao Wen, will you check if it will rain again in the next few days?"
"Head of the township, I am not the Dragon King."
Wen Jingfang rolled her eyes. The mayor thought of himself as a mobile weather bureau. However, this feeling of being trusted was really good and comfortable.
"There shouldn't be any heavy rain. The sun will come out in a few days. By the way, mayor, you can call the Meteorological Bureau."
"If the information from the Meteorological Bureau is accurate, I have to ask you, they are just forwarding the central weather forecast." Hu Fei glared at Wen Jingfang angrily, "Okay, get in the car, I will wash my feet, these shoes
It cost me more than three hundred, so I can’t ruin it until I get back to the township government.”
Hu Fei hastily washed the dirt off his legs, quickly started the car, and looked back at Huang Cheng who got into the car, "Xiao Huang, is someone from the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department here?"
"Township chief, a reporter came from the newspaper office. The one from the Propaganda Department seems to be Wang Hai, the deputy chief of the Propaganda Section. He was led by Zhou Guangkun, the deputy director of the Propaganda Department. The county's Propaganda Minister personally accompanied him."
Huang Cheng chuckled and said, "Township Chief, you are really famous this time. I heard from Minister Zhou that the whole city was severely affected by the disaster this time. Our township is one of the most well-prepared townships in the city. This time it is said that
I am promoting you as a role model."
"What are you promoting? Why don't you give our village more financial aid?"
Hu Fei talked for a while and glanced at Wen Jingfang who was sitting in the passenger seat. "Xiao Wen, I'm not blaming you. I just want to keep a low profile and do something practical for the people."
"Head of the township, I understand what you mean."
Wen Jingfang drooped her little head, "There are so many leaders in the township, but you are the only one running around all day long. They all say that you are just like the farmers in Maziying Township. You are so obsessed with acting that you really think of yourself as a farmer."
"They said you were really acting!"
"Okay, let them say whatever they want. The masses will naturally have a strong balance in their hearts."
Hu Fei shook his head and looked through the windshield at the sky where the flowers were gradually blooming. "I'm worried that once the rain stops, there will be a drought. Xiao Wen, when you go back, please call the village committees to inform them. Don't
If the water is drained further, the reservoir must maintain sufficient water volume. I think a drought is really likely to occur."
"Huang Cheng, when you go back, do a survey to see how much diesel engines, water pumps and other equipment are in stock in the township. Make a list for me. If there is a drought, soybeans must be poured at least once every three to five days.
Water and rice also need to be irrigated, and these equipments are a must.”
"When there is a real drought, the prices of these equipment will definitely increase again. Those profiteers will not miss any opportunity to make hard-earned money."
With that said, Hu Fei drove back to the township government compound, got out of the car with his leather shoes, and looked at a familiar face in astonishment, "Hi, Fang Jie, hello."
"Hu Fei, you really look like a farmer."
Fang Jie pursed her lips and gave a sweet smile. As Yang Qianxi's best friend, of course she knew Hu Fei. Although Yang Qianxi immigrated, she has now returned to China to develop. In her opinion, Yang Qianxi was obsessed with Hu Fei.
I'm reluctant to let go, but this guy obviously has a girlfriend, okay?
Hu Fei became a celebrity in Yongzhou official circles in just a few months, largely due to reports about him in the city newspaper. One article was that in April, he organized the people of the entire township to build water conservancy projects on a large scale.
, Consolidating the Reservoir Foundation and Dam, the article is about a flood that occurred not long ago. This guy was carrying cool leather shoes and rolling up his trouser legs and running around on the reservoir dam like a young farmer.
Both articles were reviewed by Fang Jie. When she saw Hu Fei's name in the first article, she just glanced at it and approved it. Unexpectedly, a few months later, Hu Fei's behavior that was ridiculed at the beginning actually turned out to be...
This became a foresight. After repairs, all the water conservancy facilities in Maziying Township were put into operation, which greatly alleviated the flood disaster.
The second report was about Hu Fei, the township head who went deep into the front line and rushed in front of the reservoir dam every day. He was even more worried about the situation of the reservoir than the local farmers.
No one thought that this report alarmed Xia Chunlai, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and he made important instructions: We must vigorously publicize this kind of grassroots cadres and set up such a role model. Those comrades who put the masses at heart should organize
I will never forget them.
"Fang Jie, it's not like you don't want to know. I've been helping my family farm and plant rice since I was a child. I'm a farmer with good roots."
Hu Fei chuckled and said, "Sorry, I'll wash my feet first and put on my leather shoes. These are the ones Qianxi picked for me last time. If she knows I'm dirty, I'll be in big trouble."
I'm afraid that's not the case. Fang Jie shook her head and remembered the scene in the second report. This kid told the staff around him that he could walk faster in the mud with bare feet.
