After I went out, I called Lin Yu and said, "She said she would go tell Governor Huang about today's events."
She said: "It's best this way. She's very smart."
I said: "Yes, it's best for her to talk about this matter herself."
She said: "I said she is very smart, because she understands that only if she tells Teacher Huang about this matter herself can she be truly forgiven. Teacher Huang likes her so much, and he doesn't want Udon Mei to deceive him.
Teacher Huang will definitely compensate her with a sum of money. If she doesn’t take the initiative to tell Teacher Huang about this matter, the money may be gone.”
Her words were a bit convoluted, but I understood what she meant. I am also a man, so I naturally understand how a man would react in front of the woman he likes. There is a saying that the deeper you love, the deeper you hate.
The deeper it goes, it is indeed a great hurt for a man to be deceived by the woman he likes. And a woman's sincerity can make the man who loves her deeply forgive her for everything.
Later I understood why Udonmei stayed there alone and refused to leave, because she sold the house quickly. That day, she was hesitant and conflicted.
She later stopped buying a new house and got together with her ex-boyfriend again. Sometimes I can’t understand why a woman is so persistent with her first love. Such persistence is as crazy as it is incomprehensible.
.
Of course, her choice is definitely a tragedy, because few men can forgive their women for their past.
This is a story for later.
That day, when I finished dealing with Udonmei's matter, I returned to the city. Although I am the mayor now and my time is relatively free, I still have to do the things at hand. I have a rest today.
, things are there, and you still have to complete them yourself later.
At the government executive meeting, I put forward my opinion on the return of fund-raising funds, and no one had any objections to it. Before the meeting, I thought that no one would have any objections. After all, handling this matter like this is beneficial to the overall situation, and even if they
If you have any opinions, I will convince you because both Governor Huang and Secretary Rong have already expressed their approval for such a plan.
But there is one thing I didn't expect. Later, some of the laid-off workers used the money returned to them to invest in other things. After losing money, they came to the city government to solve the problem. I couldn't laugh or cry, but the government can't do anything like this again.
These people were making a big fuss in the city hall. I didn’t see them again, but asked the secretary-general of the general office to come forward and persuade them.
Things like this really make people laugh or cry. It just fulfills what Mr. Lu Xun said: Poor people must be hateful.
However, we have also accelerated the start of the re-employment project. First of all, we established a re-employment service center, whose function is to provide laid-off workers with help and services in job introduction, career guidance, vocational training, organization of labor export, etc., and to
The re-employment of laid-off workers is supported in accordance with policies. The second step is to require enterprises to first consider the employment issues of laid-off workers when hiring. In addition, laid-off workers are encouraged to start their own businesses.
Under the guidance of the government, we have specially built a night market street and a small commodity street. The government has issued policies to exempt laid-off workers from paying taxes for three years, and to halve the price of water and electricity.
These two places soon became lively and became a scene in Shangjiang City.
In addition, key projects in Shangjiang City are also advancing very quickly. The construction of municipal projects on both sides of Binjiang Road has been rapidly invested and has now taken shape. As we expected before, the land prices on Binjiang Road rose quickly. At this time, Yu
Yong and others took the initiative to request the construction of a five-star hotel project. They saw the huge business opportunities contained in this project. Moreover, they also purchased a lot of land along both sides of the river for development.
Other developers have also entered in large numbers.
The mindset of the people in Shangjiang City has also begun to change a lot. Among them, the mindset of Shangjiang citizens who were used to living in the city center has also completely changed.
When Shangjiang City first started developing real estate, the facades in the main urban area were sold out quickly, and the prices were still very high. However, in the suburbs, even the facades along the river were ignored because the citizens were simply unwilling to go there.
consumption in the place.
But the situation is different now, because citizens suddenly discovered that living by the river is a different living experience, and the concept of river-view housing was quickly accepted by citizens.
We used to think that the people in Shangjiang City were very poor, but now we find that their purchasing power when it comes to buying houses is completely beyond our imagination, and many families have purchased more than one commercial house.
The real estate industry in Shangjiang City gradually became popular, and it soon attracted investors from the provincial capital and other places around the provincial capital. Housing prices here quickly rose. What the citizens talked about most after dinner was housing prices, and many of them
So I made a lot of money.
The city government's finances soon improved. At this time, some people began to criticize the government, saying that what we were doing was land finance, which deprived the people of generations of wealth. At the same time, nationwide concerns about the real estate industry
Discussions have also begun to become sharp, such as the government using real estate to promote economic development, and even making real estate a pillar industry is a stupid and irresponsible behavior for the country's future, etc.
I don't think so. For local governments, they must first make their finances full. Only when the government has money can it do more and more municipal projects and people's projects, and get better and better.
Nowadays, Shangjiang City has begun to gradually increase its investment in medical care and education, and citizens have personally experienced the benefits they have gained. Moreover, with the economic development of Shangjiang City, the floating population has gradually increased, and business has also begun to change.
With the prosperity of the country, the re-employment problem of laid-off workers and the income problem of ordinary people have been significantly improved and improved.
All of this allows citizens to truly feel the huge benefits brought by Shangjiang City’s reform.
Therefore, what we often hear nowadays is the praise of the people here for our municipal party committee and municipal government team.
I said this at an executive meeting of the city government, "We should not be afraid of other people's comments. The support of the people fully explains everything."
One of my favorite things now is to walk on the street after dinner with my secretary and driver. Many people got to know me because of this. They were a little reserved in front of me at first, but then they gradually became
Be easy-going. Now I understand something. In the past, the reason why I didn't like to go out on the streets like this was not only because I valued my position too much, but also because I didn't have self-confidence, because at that time, deep down in my heart, I felt a little ashamed of the people here.
.
The self-confidence of officials is very important. At present, many officials are not confident. One of the manifestations is that many officials lack confidence and are very fragile. They are all under attack and will use police force on a large scale at the slightest sign of trouble. A small matter in the first place, but
Like facing a formidable enemy.
We are in a period of major social transformation, and complex conflicts of interest have arisen among various groups in society. It is natural for some groups whose interests have been harmed to express dissatisfaction with society and the government.
This is actually the driving force and opportunity for the government to carry out institutional reforms. However, the first reaction of some of our officials to these different interest demands is that they believe that this is a challenge to the current regime and that it will shake the foundation of our governance. In fact, our
The political power is not that fragile. What is fragile is the hearts of certain officials themselves and their lack of confidence in the political power.
The second is the fear of telling the truth and being afraid of exposing the truth, as if telling the people the truth will be eaten by the people. Nowadays, many truths are passively exposed. If you tell the truth, the sky will not fall, but why is it so difficult?
On a deeper level, it means lack of confidence, thinking that people will distrust themselves even more after knowing the truth. Some officials like to use specific political language such as "the masses who don't know the truth" - in fact, since the people "don't know the truth", then you have
It is our responsibility to tell the people the truth.
The third is fear of other people’s comments. If others say you are good or not, it’s no good if they say you are bad. If you say you are good, they say they are flattering you; if they say you are not good, they say others are trying to kill you. This is a sign of extreme lack of confidence.
.
There are also some officials who frequently attribute the masses' dissatisfaction with the government to "incitement by hostile Western forces." This requires special caution. Even if there is instigation by external hostile forces, external factors can only work through internal factors. If you can do your own thing
If you do well, the masses will be satisfied with themselves, and you don't have to be afraid of interference from hostile forces.
The fourth is to only say bad things about others and find fault with others all day long; but only say good things to yourself and dare not face existing problems. This is also a sign of lack of confidence. Just like a person, if he is really strong,
He will not talk about other people's bad things all day long, nor will he care about what others say, nor is he even afraid of others finding fault with him. Doing your own thing well and letting others comment is true self-confidence.
Fifth, many officials pray to gods and worship Buddhas and enjoy it endlessly. The reason why some famous mountain and ancient temples are so popular today is that officials are indispensable. In many places, the first stick of incense is usually not available to the public. Those who can get it are either the boss or the boss.
officials.
Therefore, many monks have become very wealthy. On the surface, some officials say they pray for the citizens, but they don’t know whether they are praying for the citizens or for their own official fortune. Many officials’ offices and buildings are determined by Feng Shui masters.
Structure and sitting direction, Feng Shui masters have become the guests of many officials, who believe in Feng Shui to the point of superstition.
Nowadays, the reconstruction work of the temple on the mountain is progressing very quickly. However, Secretary Rong emphasized a discipline at an enlarged meeting of the municipal party committee: our party members and cadres in Shangjiang City are strictly prohibited from going there to burn incense and worship Buddha. She said: "We must have confidence.
Only people with evil intentions would place their hopes on gods and Buddhas."
She also said: "Our TV stations and newspapers in Shangjiang City must expose our shortcomings more, and we must have such confidence. Recently, a reporter from CCTV asked the Prime Minister: What is the best ratio of positive and negative news in news reports?
Good? The Prime Minister replied, 51% are positive and 49% are negative. What is this? This is confidence..."
Secretary Rong is right. Only those in power who are full of confidence can speak like that. The confidence of those in power is a blessing to a place and even the entire country.
That night, I did not have any reception. After dinner in the canteen, I took my secretary and driver to the street again. Many citizens greeted me warmly along the way. When I passed by a community,
, I saw two old people playing chess there, and there were people watching around them. One of the middle-aged people watching noticed our arrival, and he greeted me warmly, and I walked to them with a smile.
"Mayor Feng, want to play a game?" the old man playing chess asked me with a smile.
I smiled bitterly and shook my head, "I can't play chess and I can't understand it either. You guys play slowly."
The old man looked at me in surprise, "There are very few leaders who can't play chess, right?"
I smiled and said to him: "My father likes to play chess very much. I wanted to learn it when I was in middle school, but my father didn't allow me to learn it. He said that playing chess is a waste of time."
The old man smiled and said: "That's right, I won't let my son learn to play chess. If he learns this thing, he will definitely not be able to get into college. Mayor Feng, your father did the right thing, otherwise we would not have you in Shangjiang."
A good mayor."
I suddenly laughed and said, "Old man, if I had learned to play chess at that time, I might not have been able to go to college, and I might not be here to be the mayor now. But the same goes for other people who want to be the mayor. He also
In the same way, we will do a better job in Shangjiang."
The old man shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily the case. There were so many mayors in the past, who could turn our Shangjiang into what it is now?"
I still shook my head and said: "This is not my role alone. The Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government are determined to carry out vigorous reforms in Shangjiang City. This is the key. It is they who have given us Shangjiang City such development opportunities. Also
Even if our municipal party committee leads well, this is also very important."
The old man smiled and said: "Mayor Feng is too humble. We people know it in our hearts. Only this generation of leaders in Shangjiang City can truly serve the people. Secretary Rong is the same as you and has no selfish motives."
Other people echoed the old man's statement. I was very moved after hearing this: the people really have a strong reputation in their hearts. Only when we sincerely do things for them will they sincerely praise us.
The two old men had stopped playing chess, and someone brought me a stool and warmly asked me to sit down. I didn't refuse, because I also wanted to take this opportunity to chat with them.
After I sat down, I asked them: "Do you have any suggestions or opinions on the work of our municipal government?"
The old man said: "We all think that the city government is doing a good job now, but Mayor Feng, don't we have too many nightclubs in Shangjiang City now? It is said that there are many prostitutes there.
Why don’t the municipal committee and city government care about this matter?”
I was stunned immediately. The problem mentioned by the old man does exist. With the economic development of Shangjiang City, the entertainment industry has also developed rapidly. As a local government, it often takes an open-minded approach to such things.
The attitude of turning a blind eye, because this kind of thing is good for attracting investment, and this is what many businessmen like.
However, this matter is very embarrassing for the government. After all, the political nature of our country determines that such a situation is not legally allowed to occur.
I said: "We are in charge. The public security department has inspected such places many times and arrested many girls and prostitutes. However, such things require evidence, and it will be more difficult for our public security department to handle it. In the future,
We will intensify our efforts in this area and take care of this matter conscientiously."
At this time, someone said: "Actually, there is no need for the government to take care of such things. We are not the only ones in Shangjiang City who have this situation."
The old man said: "That's true. But there is one thing that the government must control, and that is gambling. It is said that underground gambling has appeared in our Shangjiang City, and some people have lost dozens or millions in one night."
I was immediately shocked, "Is this really the case?" (To be continued)
