The owner of the restaurant already knew Yuan Zili's identity. He was actually a big leader in the city. Since the restaurant opened, no mayor has come to have a meal. For a while, the owner seemed a little restrained. (_) He stood at the counter.
Inside, I thought about it for a moment and walked over.
"I, I didn't know that you were the leader of the city, and I asked you to give up space. I'm really sorry. I don't know how the food tastes today. If you are not satisfied, I will ask the kitchen to cook some more dishes."
"It tastes very good, boss, your business here must be very good."
"It's okay, it's okay, thanks to **."
"Oh, then work hard and make more money. The Spring Festival has just passed. I wish my boss a prosperous business and abundant financial resources in the new year."
"Thank you for your blessing."
Yuan Zili stood up and was about to leave. He had eaten enough and could go back now. At this time, a girl named Xiaohong came in. Yuan Zili found that Xiaohong's expression changed and was replaced by a look of scrutiny.
"Excuse me, are you the leader of the municipal government?"
"Yeah, what's the matter?"
"I want to help uncle report a few things. I wonder if you have time to listen."
Yuan Zili's expression changed a little, it was really interesting. The restaurant owner didn't expect it and looked at Xiao Hong, not knowing what to say.
"Say it."
"My uncle opened a restaurant here, and the business seems to be good, but it is extremely difficult to maintain."
There was a hint of timidity in the restaurant owner's eyes, as if he wanted to stop Xiaohong, but because Yuan Zili was in front of him, he couldn't say anything, and the smile on his face was already very embarrassing.
"I came here to play with my uncle during the holidays. In just a few days, I realized that my uncle could no longer survive. When it was time to go to work, the township government, taxation, industry and commerce, health, electricity, and civil engineering departments all came here to eat.
, My uncle didn’t dare to offend them and asked for a treat. Some units not only got free food, but also wanted the best hospitality. They never settled the bill all year round. At the end of last year, I accompanied my uncle to go to some departments to settle the bill. Guess what?
, They are even louder than us. They just have no money. When they have money, they will naturally have to settle the bill. Uncle dare not offend them, and he dare not say anything harsh. Is it easy for uncle to open this restaurant? You are the leader, help.
Commentary and commentary.”
"Don't listen to my niece's nonsense. There are no such things. I am treating you voluntarily. Xiaohong, stop talking. The leader is very busy and has no time to listen to your nonsense."
Yuan Zili didn't say anything. The boss seemed to be a kind person, and he understood the complexity of society better than the little girl. These situations must exist. The so-called backer and the mountain, the boss knew that he couldn't compete, so he could only swallow his anger and spend money to buy peace.
The boss takes this phenomenon for granted, and Yuan Zili feels the danger. If in our society, all abnormal phenomena and abuse of power for personal gain are taken for granted and accepted by the people, then the government's ruling status will suffer.
to a serious threat.
"Uncle, I told you the real situation. What are you afraid of?"
"Xiaohong, you don't understand."
"Boss, stop hiding it, sign the form and bring it to me to see."
The boss took out the signature sheets slowly. Yuan Zili looked at the signature sheets and his face became a little solemn. For a small restaurant, after one year, there was a large stack of signature sheets. The people who ate were reasonable, and the boss did not dare to offend him. He could not take it.
If the money is collected and this continues for a long time, it will be considered a good thing that the boss can maintain this restaurant. Yuan Zili understands that this is not an individual problem. If it cannot be improved from the system, it will get worse. The direct consequence will be small businesses without ability and background.
Restaurants are closed.
"Boss, this is something some of our departments below didn't do well. Please put away the signed orders first. Okay, I know everything about the situation. Now that we've eaten, it's time for us to leave."
Yuan Zili stood up and was about to leave when he saw many cars coming towards the restaurant. He was a little annoyed. It seemed that he could not go back to the city smoothly.
The car stopped beside the highway, and a group of district and township leaders came in. At this moment, the restaurant owner knew that the leader in front of him was Yuan Zili, the mayor of Huaiyang City. Yuan Zili did not want to stay in the restaurant anymore.
Farmers don't have a very good impression of cadres. If they cheer in front of them and act like leaders, they don't know how many people will scold them behind their backs. However, when district and township leaders come, they can't ignore them. Yuan
Zili shook hands with everyone and went to the township government not far away to have a look.
After returning to the city government, Yuan Zili began to think about a series of things. The new year had just begun, and it was 2004 in a blink of an eye. Time passed very quickly. Now, a lot of things came to mind. One was about how the city government
To perform his duties, the deputy mayor must have actual power. The municipal party committee cannot interfere too much in the schedule of the municipal government. The second is how to deal with the existing problems that endanger personal future. Starting from Xuanshi County, there has always been an invisible pair.
The black hand keeps causing trouble, and has succeeded several times. If we don't understand the root cause and the reason, we don't know what kind of trouble it will cause in the future. The third is the future development direction of Huaiyang City, which involves the Qin family, but,
The current situation of the Qin family is not very optimistic. I wonder if Qin Tianhao can successfully handle the conflicts within the family. The fourth is the problem of specialization. Many functional departments use their power to take advantage of others, which seriously damages the government.
If the image of Huaiyang City is not rectified, the economic development environment of Huaiyang City will become worse and worse. How can we attract businessmen to invest in such an environment?
None of the things Yuan Zili considered was easy. If he wanted the municipal party committee to interfere less with the government's work, he needed Qian Changjiang's consent. He also needed to reduce the power of the municipal party committee standing committee and rectify the soft environment for economic development in Huaiyang City. It was not an easy task. It required
The cooperation of various departments requires building momentum and a good social atmosphere. As for the problems encountered by individuals, it goes without saying. For nearly 10 years, Yuan Zili has been fighting against the forces in the dark. Until now,
It had gradually become clearer and more intense, and Yuan Zili had a vague idea of his opponent.
A few days later, Xiaohong actually arrived at the city government and asked to see Mayor Yuan. It was not easy to meet Yuan Zili. Even when the person in charge of the municipal unit reported work, he had to call in advance to see if Yuan Zili was available.
What's more, a girl of unknown origin seemed angry.
Xiaohong didn't see Yuan Zili, and felt aggrieved and frustrated. She simply stood in the square outside the city hall, always staring at the vehicles entering and exiting the government compound. She remembered that the car that Mayor Yuan was riding in was car No. 2.
The sky was getting dark, and Yuan Zili was sitting in the car, meditating, when the car suddenly stopped.
"Mayor Yuan, last time we went to dinner, the little red we saw was blocking the car."
"Go and see if there's anything wrong with her?"
After Ouyang Yun got off, Yuan Zili thought that it was not good for the car to park outside the city hall. Xiao Hong actually thought of blocking the car. It seemed that something had happened. Thinking of this, Yuan Zili got out of the car.
"Mayor Yuan, I hate you."
Seeing Yuan Zili get out of the car, Xiaohong suddenly said such words, which made Yuan Zili extremely embarrassed. People who didn't know about it saw it and thought there was some relationship between the two.
"Miss Xiaohong, don't be excited. If you have anything to say, say it slowly. Let's do it this way. It's not good to stand here. You can get in the car first. If you have anything to say, we can find a place to talk."
Xiao Hong was a little excited and got into the car without saying anything.
"Miss Xiaohong, you are so awesome. You actually knew to block the car. What if the driver didn't see it, or it was too late to brake and there was danger?"
"Mayor Yuan, I want to see you, but as a civilian, how can I see you? The people in the office don't allow me to go upstairs at all. What can I do?"
"Oh, then you haven't eaten yet, so let's go eat first. If you need anything, talk about it slowly during the meal."
"Don't talk about eating, my uncle, wuwuwuwu..."
"Miss Xiaohong, don't cry, speak slowly."
"Last time you went to dinner, I said a few words. After you left, the industrial, commercial, tax, electricity and sanitation were all gone, and all the accounts were settled. However, they re-set the tax for uncle, and the village held a meeting and made it clear that strict measures must be taken.
To rectify the catering industry, the first target of rectification is my uncle. Now, people from many departments are checking the accounts in my uncle’s shop, and the business cannot be done. My uncle is afraid and begs them, but they ignore them at all. It’s all me who has harmed my uncle’s business.
It couldn't be done, and I had no choice, so I came to see Mayor Yuan."
Yuan Zili was so angry that he didn't speak for a long time. He originally wanted to rectify the soft environment, but before he could figure it out, he found a reason to take action.
"Miss Xiaohong, I didn't think of this matter. Let's go to your uncle's place for dinner, and I will also go and understand the situation."
The car drove quickly towards the development zone.
After entering the restaurant, Yuan Zili saw the boss sitting in the room dejectedly, with a middle-aged woman beside him. The middle-aged woman saw Yuan Zili coming in, followed by Xiao Hong, and spoke angrily.
"The store is being cleaned and there is nothing to eat."
The boss raised his head and saw Yuan Zili, and jumped up in shock.
"Damn you, what are you talking about? Go to the kitchen and prepare. Mayor Yuan, I didn't expect you to come. Please sit down."
The middle-aged woman did not expect that the young man who came in was the mayor, so she immediately put on a smile, smiled awkwardly at Yuan Zili, and turned around to go into the kitchen.
"Boss, just get some food, just the same as last time."
People around me felt a little strange that someone went to eat in the restaurant that was being cleaned up. The township government made it clear that this restaurant was being renovated and had not been open for several days. It was not far from the township government and someone would soon call the township government.
The government called and reported it.
Yuan Zili was sitting in the main room, chatting with his boss, when he heard the sound of parking outside. Soon, a series of footsteps came.
"Boss, we are cleaning up. Why did you open the business again? Do you not want to do business anymore?"
Yuan Zili turned around and looked at the person who was speaking. His voice suddenly stopped. The person's mouth opened into an O shape, and he could no longer say the next words.
"Why, can't we eat here?"
"No, no, Mayor Yuan, we didn't know you were here. We are cleaning up the accounts here."
"Oh, so what went wrong with the cleanup?"
"No, no, it's being cleaned up. The boss abides by the law and there's no problem."
"I understand. I'm just here to have a meal. I don't have anything else to do. You guys are busy with work, so don't stay with me here."
The visitor left in a hurry. When Yuan Zili was eating, the district and township leaders came. Yuan Zili asked them all to sit down. The boss was very smart and immediately added bowls and chopsticks. Yuan Zili didn't want to drink at first, so he thought about it a little.
After a while, he asked the boss to bring liquor and drank with the district and township cadres. During the meal, Yuan Zili said nothing. The leaders of the district and township took the opportunity to report on their work, and Yuan Zili affirmed their work achievements.
.During the whole process, Yuan Zili did not mention the renovation of the restaurant and did not know how to leave here.
One day later, Yuan Zili got the news that all the people who were cleaning up the accounts had withdrawn. The township decided to still receive guests in this restaurant, and the accounts must be settled regularly without default. Yuan Zili smiled bitterly. This kind of business relies on the personal prestige of the leader or
It is a way of solving problems with power, which is inherently undesirable, but there is currently no other way.
