After eating, I went directly back to my residence. Director Sun originally proposed to wash my feet or something, but I refused. In a place like this, I had better be cautious.
The driver said to me when he sent me downstairs, "Mayor Feng, Director Sun of the Health Bureau asked me where you live just after dinner. I had no choice but to tell him."
I was a little surprised. What I was surprised about was why Director Sun would ask me about the driver. But I also understand the driver. After all, he is a local. Maybe he is related to Director Sun. It’s hard to tell.
Woolen cloth.
I said: "It's okay. Anyway, he can ask other people about my living here. By the way, Xiao Cui, have you heard any negative comments about the city leaders recently?"
He asked me: "Is it about you? You have just come here and everyone is not familiar with you, so no one says anything about you."
I said: "That's true. What about other leaders? Xiao Cui, you and Xiao Xu are the people around me. I hope you can be my eyes and ears. After all, you are locals and it is easier for you to hear some news.
"
He nodded, "Mayor Feng, I know. People have been talking a lot recently, saying that this time the city will take serious action, and those corrupt elements may suffer as a result."
I asked in surprise: "Oh? What did you say? Xiao Cui, don't go back yet, go to my place and have a good talk with me."
He immediately followed me to my residence. Xiao Cui was actually very smart. As soon as he arrived at my residence, he went to make me a cup of strong tea, and then said to me: "Mayor Feng, please have a drink. Have some."
Strong tea to relieve hangover.”
I thanked him and immediately asked him to sit down, and then asked him: "Tell me, what kind of gossip do ordinary people talk about?"
He hesitated for a while and then said: "Mayor Feng, in fact, you may already know that many of our leaders in Shangjiang City have their own industries, including those who open construction companies, some who open restaurants, and some who hold shares in some enterprises.
, Our leaders are not short of money anyway. Recently, everyone heard that the city will reform state-owned enterprises, and many people are panicked. However, many people are saying that if they are laid off, they will go to the province.
Or go to Beijing to petition. Some people say that Secretary Chen is very courageous and may take action against corrupt officials. Haha! In fact, everyone is chatting behind their backs. However, some of the words here may be true, but they are not necessarily true. Feng Shi
Commander, you know that some of what ordinary people say is completely based on facts."
His words are not of much value to me, because I basically know what he said. In fact, what I want to know is a lot of details. But some questions are inconvenient for me to ask. However,
I can induce him to tell it.
So I asked him: "Actually, the common people know a lot about the situation of the city's leaders, right? Everyone has a stronghold in their hearts. Xiao Cui, don't have any scruples. I will definitely not go out if you tell me.
It is spread randomly, and I myself am also learning about it through other channels. Of course, there are some situations that I just want to understand and have an idea of what is going on, so as not to do stupid things if I don’t know the situation. Xiao Cui, can you tell me? Ordinary people
Which leaders are the most discussed?"
He said with some embarrassment: "Mayor Feng, some of the things I said are just hearsay and I can't tell you anything. It's not good for me to say things that are unfounded."
I understood his embarrassment very well. Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, I couldn't continue to ask. Then I started to ask him from another angle, "Xiao Cui, what do the people of Shangjiang City say?
Mayor Wen’s?”
He said: "Mayor Wen is actually a very good person, but sometimes he has a bad temper. And... haha! Some people are spreading rumors, but I don't know if they are true or not.
"
I secretly said in my heart: Here it comes! But I was able to keep my composure, and then I said calmly: "Rumors are the most unbelievable things, but some things are not groundless. Xiao Cui, let me hear what you say.
,What are the rumors about him about?"
He smiled bitterly and said: "Mayor Feng, after what I said, you won't blame me for speaking ill of others behind their backs, right?"
I smiled and said, "How could that be? Didn't you tell me all this after I asked you?"
He was still hesitating, and after a while he said: "That's right. Some people are talking privately behind the scenes that Mayor Wen may have very unusual relationships with several women here..."
After he said this, he stopped talking about it. Of course I know his concerns, but I do believe in such rumors, because it is not unusual for a man to have such a problem, not to mention that he is a member of the market.
For a long time, I have always had this concept: the more successful men are in their careers, they tend to have stronger demands on women than the average person.
This is not because I am that kind of person, so I think about others that way. This is a social reality. Also, I have always suspected that Mayor Wen may have been kidnapped by some people in some way.
So I feel that this kind of thing is more believable.
But I still said immediately, "Xiao Cui, there must be some basis for people's comments like this, right?"
He said: "Anyway, it was those women who whispered such things behind their backs. It is said that someone accidentally saw him with a certain woman in a hotel in the provincial capital. Some people also said that they saw another woman entering late at night.
We went to Mayor Wen's residence. Our Shangjiang City is not a big place, so it is common for people to bump into us occasionally."
I immediately felt that the people in this place were a bit scary. Just imagine, what he just said was late at night, and it would not be easy to be bumped into by someone at that time, unless there are some good people who are deliberately paying attention to something.
It seems that I must pay attention in the future and never let women enter my room alone at night.
Now I am particularly curious in my heart: Who are the women who have such a relationship with Mayor Wen? Such curiosity is difficult to suppress, and I can't help but ask him: "Who are the women in the rumors?"
How many women are there? What jobs do they do?"
He replied: "It is said that one of them is a public relations manager of a construction company, and there are also employees of the unit. By the way, there are..."
Just as he was saying this, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, and I suddenly felt strange: Who would come to my place at this time? Is it Xiao Xu? No, if he wants to come, he will definitely call me in advance.
I immediately told Xiao Cui: "Go and see who it is."
Xiao Cui immediately got up and left. At this time, I seemed to understand why they designed my residence with a separate entrance and exit. Obviously this was to protect the privacy of the leader. It seemed that my predecessor might also have
That preference. Now I completely understand why Lin Yu specifically reminded me to pay attention to this aspect before I arrived in Shangjiang City.
Local affairs are indeed too complicated. And municipal cities are often small, so it is difficult to keep many things confidential. In addition, the more backward the economy, the people in the city are more likely to pay attention to the private lives of officials. With a backward economy, people tend to be content with
The current situation is that there seems to be nothing else to do except talking about family feuds and other people's secret things all day long.
Xiao Cui arrived at the door of my house and asked, "Who is it?"
Someone outside answered, "Xiao Cui, is that you? Does Mayor Feng live here?"
At this time, even I heard that the person outside was Director Sun of the Municipal Health Bureau. Xiao Cui turned around and said to me: "Mayor Feng, this is Director Sun."
I felt it was hard to refuse his visit. After all, he just invited me to dinner today, and he is still a man. Besides, I used to be a hygienist. So I told Xiao Cui: "Let him in."
Xiao Cui immediately opened the door, and the short figure of Director Sun appeared at the door. He stood at the door and smiled and said to me: "Mayor Feng, it turns out you still live here."
His words made me stunned for a moment, but then I understood what he meant. What he meant was that I still live in my ex’s place.
I immediately and enthusiastically asked him to come in and sit down. I found that his hands were empty, which made me feel no pressure at all.
Xiao Cui went to make him a cup of tea, and then said to me: "Mayor Feng, I'll go back first."
I nodded to him, "Okay. Xiao Cui, you don't have to pick me up tomorrow morning. I'll just walk to work by myself. I have to exercise a lot recently. I'm starting to grow belly after drinking every day."
Xiao Cui left immediately and closed the door for me. I was very satisfied: the quality of the drivers and secretaries in this place were very good. The office paid great attention to this when selecting people, and also paid great attention to
their training and education.
"Director Sun, why did you suddenly remember to come to me today?" I then asked this sudden visitor with a smile.
But he said: "Mayor Feng, why did the Health Department arrange for you to live in a place like this? This is the house where your predecessor lived. No matter what, a new place must be arranged for you. The decoration inside is also
not so good."
He was obviously showing his kindness to me. I smiled and said: "I don't have high requirements in this area. I think this place is already very good. In fact, I just come back to sleep at night, and I have to go there on weekends."
Go home. This place is ready-made, there is no need to look for a new place, that would be too wasteful. Haha! Director Sun, do you have anything to do with me?"
He said: "I just want to come and have a chat with you. Mayor Feng, I won't affect your rest, right?"
I smiled and shook my head and said, "It's okay. But the scene you made today was a little too big, so there was no need. So many people came to toast me, and they almost made me drunk. If I hadn't taken care to protect myself
If so. Director Sun, please don’t arrange things like this in the future. In fact, the best way is to make it as simple as possible, with just a few people, and everyone can eat, drink, and talk about meaningful things together. How good is that? Do you think so?
no?"
He smiled bitterly and said: "We have such rules here, so that we can show enthusiasm. But Mayor Feng, you are right. There is really no meaning in this way. It is just a bunch of people drinking.
, it’s also very inconvenient to speak.”
I asked him with a smile: "It seems that your health bureau's funds are quite sufficient. You can still spend money by eating and drinking like this all day long. By the way, Director Sun, you don't make IOUs after eating and drinking like some towns do."
Bar?"
He hurriedly said: "How is that possible? Our restaurants in Shangjiang City are all run by people with backgrounds, how can I make an IOU? The office funds of our Health Bureau are as tight as other departments, but we can find ways to solve these problems.
For example, we have administrative fees, we also have health law enforcement below us that can impose fines, and we have several hospitals below us, so we can just let them settle some of the fees." (To be continued)
