Behind the scenes

Chapter 25

Hearing that he represented the county government, the director of the office clearly showed displeasure on his face, "Our reservoir is located in Liuhe County, but we are a provincial management unit, not to mention the county, even Xianghan City can't control our people. property."

"I didn't say to take care of it, I just came to discuss the issue. Farmers have no water for raising seedlings, so the reservoir can't just ignore it."

"We also have our own difficulties. It doesn't rain and there is no water in the reservoir. What should we put in?"

"We just went to the dam, and the storage capacity is quite large, at least the same as last year."

"What do you know, the water in the storage capacity is for urban water supply, not for farmers to raise seedlings."

Hearing this, Liu Tiehan who was sitting on the side couldn't hold back anymore, "I know that your water is all for selling to the city, and it's all for making more money."

"What's wrong with earning money? Focusing on economic construction is to be reflected in money. If there is no money, what do we get for wages?"

"But you don't release water for money. Without water, we can't raise seedlings, and without raising seedlings, we can't grow rice. Where can we get money without rice? How can we live without money?" Liu Tiehan said very vigorously.

"Do you have the money to care about my business? That's a matter for your county and city."

"Why are you so black-hearted? Without us immigrating back then, without us building this reservoir, how could you be so domineering today."

"Who is tyrannical?"

"You are tyrannical."

When Jin Ping saw that the two of them had stood up, she put aside her fighting stance and quickly stood up too, "Tie Han, stop talking. Comrade Director, please explain the meaning of my visit today, especially the representative The Liuhe county government reported these situations to your bureau chief truthfully, hoping that the reservoir can solve them as soon as possible, Tiehan, let's go."

The director of the office looked at the young female county magistrate, didn't even say a word of farewell, sat down on the chair, and picked up the newspaper on the table.

After getting out of the building and getting into the jeep, neither of them said a word. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Jin Ping stopped the car and said to Liu Tiehan, "The matter of the reservoir seems to be not easy. I may not be able to solve it. I will go to work on Monday." , I will go to the city government to find the mayor, and ask the city government to come forward to help solve the problem. In your village, you should also actively find a way to raise seedlings without much water. Make some water trucks, pull some well water, and raise the seedlings first. The season is late, but soaking the fields and transplanting rice seedlings is a big deal, you can’t be careless, and you should do more work as a villager, so don’t intensify conflicts.”

Liu Tiehan nodded while listening, then looked at his watch and said, "County Jin, it's almost noon, let's go to the village for a meal."

"No, I have to go back. I still have a lot of things to do. If you have something to do, call more."

Liu Tiehan looked very moved at the female county magistrate who didn't even bother to eat lunch, and waved goodbye to her.

On Saturday, Li Zimin wanted to take a rest, but he was still thinking about the chemical plant.Just after breakfast, Dong Yingjie called from the provincial capital and told him that he had already contacted Mr. Green, the president of Green Company in Shenzhen. Mr. Green asked the mayor of Xianghan and relevant personnel to go to Shenzhen immediately for cooperation negotiations. The invitation letter has been issued. After it was sent to the municipal government, Mr. Green can only live in Shenzhen for one week, and he will return to Europe soon, and then go to the United States.Xiao Dong hoped that the government would organize people to go to Shenzhen immediately.Hearing this news, Li Zimin was very happy. He put down the phone and heard someone knock on the door. He opened the door and saw that it was Zheng Gang, the director of the General Chemical Plant.With a smile all over his face, he handed over a blank sheet of paper in his hand, "Mayor Li, the fax has arrived."

Li Zimin took it and saw that it was an invitation fax sent by Mr. Green from Shenzhen, inviting the mayor of Xianghan and the director of Xianghan Chemical General Factory to discuss joint ventures and cooperation in Shenzhen. "How did you know? You also got the fax from the government?" Li Zimin asked.

"It was Xiaodong who called me first, and asked me to go to the government to get a fax and report to you. Now it's all right. With a joint venture partner, our chemical plant can be saved. Mayor Li, I just arrived The hotel looked at the air tickets, and there happened to be a flight to Shenzhen on Monday, and I have already booked the tickets." Zheng Gang entered the room without even taking a seat.

Li Zimin said: "This matter cannot be so simple. The invitation letter is for the mayor of Xianghan. I am not the mayor. It is inconvenient to go out and negotiate with foreign businessmen. This matter must be reported to Mayor Liu Rong."

"Didn't the Municipal Party Committee entrust you with full authority to deal with the restoration and development of the chemical plant? What can you do if you don't go, besides..."

"Don't say anything, I will report to Mayor Liu immediately." Li Zimin picked up the phone and called Liu Rong's house, but no one answered.He thought for a while, and when he called his office, the bell rang twice. Liu Rong answered the phone. Li Zimin told about the letter from Shenzhen. , Ma Guanjun has returned from Haimen, and all the preparations for attracting investment there are ready, how about this, you come to the government right away, and we will discuss some things together."

Putting down the phone, Li Zimin came to the government together in Zheng Gang's car.After entering Liu Rong's office, I realized that Liu Rong was extremely excited, and Ma Guanjun also looked happy.Liu Rong said: "Mayor Li, it's really a good thing. The champion flew back from Haimen last night. Everything was ready for the investment promotion meeting there. The Haimen Municipal Government gave great support. News, business circles, There are a large number of people from the political circles attending our press conference. I think we will organize a grand delegation. People from all walks of life and counties and districts must go. Print it out immediately. The workload is heavy. I will lead this team. The negotiation in Shenzhen is also a major event, which is related to the future development of the chemical plant. I think you should lead the team personally. Director Zheng Gang is of course going. You don’t have a secretary now, so let me ask Bai Zhi, the deputy director of the office, to accompany you. On the one hand, I will prepare relevant materials, and on the other hand, I will also do a good job for you. Service work, do you think it will work?"

Li Zimin admired Liu Rong's quick thinking.It took only a few minutes to arrange these two matters, but he still said: "The foreign businessman invited the mayor. I am not the mayor. It is inconvenient to go to negotiate. Besides, it is disrespectful to others."

"You are a consultant of the municipal government. You can represent the Xianghan Municipal Government when you are outside. Besides, you have only been the mayor for a few days. How can foreign businessmen know. I told Bai Zhi that the name list, business cards, etc. should all be referred to as the mayor. You are not allowed to talk about consultants to the outside world, this is finally okay. And Zheng Gang, you are going out with Mayor Li this time. It is Mayor Li who is attracting investment for your chemical plant. The service is not good, I will ask you when I come back." Liu Rong looked at Zheng Gang, and the smile on his face was gone.

"That's it, that's it. Please rest assured, Mayor Liu, I will definitely serve you well." Zheng Gang nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this scene, Li Zimin knew that he couldn't get away with it, so he said, "Okay then, I'll go there, and I'll report back in time if there's anything going on."

"Don't report or not. You represent me now, and you can make a decision. Besides, I'm not at home. I'm afraid it will take ten or eight days to go to Haimen to sell the business. If you leave on Monday, go back quickly Get ready, negotiating with foreign businessmen is not an easy task." Liu Rong said with concern.

After leaving Liu Rong's office, Li Zimin returned to his own office, followed by Zheng Gang.He picked up the phone, dialed Bai Zhi's home, but no one answered, he thought for a while, then dialed Bai Zhi's office, the ring rang twice, Bai Zhi answered the phone: "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"Looking for you. Go upstairs quickly."

"who are you?"

"I can't tell anyone! What kind of office director is I?" After speaking, Li Zimin hung up the phone.

In 2 minutes, someone knocked on the door, Li Zimin yelled to come in, and Bai Zhi pushed the door and walked in. "Consultant, are you looking for me?"

"If you don't have a good rest at home on Saturday, why do you come to the government?" Li Zimin asked.

"What are you doing? Hmph, I've worked in this government for six years. When did I take a week off? It's not all about writing manuscripts for you. I have written about occupational diseases. I can't sit still at home. I have to run here whenever I have something to do. It's like being possessed by a demon." Bai Zhi said as he took out a cigarette from his pocket.When Li Zimin saw it, he quickly opened the drawer, took out a box of soft Chinese from inside, and threw it in front of his eyes, "First-class smoker, smoke mine!"

"Ah, Ruan Zhonghua, after all, it's the mayor, no, the consultant is also good." He picked up the Ruan Zhonghua, opened it, took out one to take a closer look, then lit it, and took a sip of it fragrantly. He smiled at Zheng Gang, "True Chinese, not a fake."

Zheng Gang looked at Bai Zhi smoking, and said, "Director Bai, don't you just like cigarettes, Ruan Zhonghua, I'll get you some tomorrow."

"Are you serious?"

"Really. I'm the factory manager of a big enterprise. It's nothing to get a few cigarettes. Don't watch my factory explode. It's not a problem for you to smoke."

"Don't, don't. I'm not a corrupt person, just get a couple of mouthfuls and taste it. I'll smoke my 'Red River' from now on."

"Bai Zhi, Zhonghua can't be drawn in vain. Go out with me this time. Your task is very heavy!" Li Zimin began to give orders.

"Consultant, where are you going with me?"

"Go to Shenzhen. Have a negotiation with a foreign businessman."

"I'm sorry, I'm going to Shenzhen. I thought you were taking me abroad. You have been mayor for five years, and I have written manuscripts for you for five years. My hair has turned white, but when I really go abroad, there is no such thing as a business trip." It's my turn, now that I'm a consultant and I don't have a secretary, I remember Bai Zhi again."

"Why, don't you want to go to such a good opportunity?"

"Want to go? I really don't really want to go, but I, Bai Zhi, can be considered a literati anyway, and a literati should be honest. When you were the mayor, I didn't flatter you. Now that I'm a consultant, I need to go. Not to mention, I promise to do a good job and serve you well, this is my personality of Bai Zhi, please tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Zheng Gang was moved by Bai Zhi's words, and Zheng Gang nodded repeatedly, "Director Bai, you are enough, enough! Nowadays, there are not many cadres like you in government departments!"

Bai Zhi said: "I have worked in the government for six years, and I have seen through some of the current cadres. If you want to be a cadre now, you must play three roles."

Upon hearing this, Li Zimin hurriedly asked, "Great scholar, what role do you play?"

Bai Zhi said: "Be a dog to your superiors, a ghost to your peers, and a wolf to your subordinates. Only when a person has these three roles at the same time can he mix well in the officialdom, and he can mix well. I, Bai Zhi, have three roles. Neither, so I can’t go up!”

Zheng Gang listened to Bai Zhi's words, thought for a while, nodded and said, "Director Bai, what you said is really interesting."

Li Zimin said: "This is all nonsense in the society. Literati, just make up a few sentences when you have nothing to do, and don't listen to him."

Li Zimin was discussing the plan of going to Shenzhen with Bai Zhi and Zheng Gang in the office, and Liu Rong was also discussing the plan of going to Haimen with Ma Guanjun in the office.Dozens of people have been confirmed, but Liu Rong still shook his head, as if there were still some people who should go.Ma Guanjun looked at Liu Rong's hard-to-guess face, and his mind was spinning rapidly. Who else should Mayor Liu take with him when he goes out?There is a reporter, a secretary, a doctor accompanying the regiment, and... His eyes suddenly lit up, that is a woman, who will the woman take?With Liu Yunna?Is it good to do that?The relationship between them has already become famous.

"I think we need to bring someone who writes materials." Liu Rong said it himself.

"Yes, yes." Ma Guanjun secretly scolded himself as an asshole, the cold beauty whom everyone in the office likes is right in front of him, why didn't he think of it. "I'll notify Section Chief Wu Qing immediately and let her prepare. Also, your press release has been written for the General Section. If you have any comments, I will notify her in a while and let her listen to your instructions directly. "

Ma Guanjun returned to his office, and immediately called Wu Qing's family, asking her to go to Mayor Liu's office immediately, because she had an important task to do.Ten minutes later, Wu Qing walked into Liu Rong's office. "Mayor Liu, what important task do you have?"

Liu Rong looked at the beautiful female section chief, and said with a smile: "Please sit down." Seeing that Wu Qing was still standing, he stood up from the chair, "Please sit down, please don't do this when you come to my room from now on." Constraints. That’s what happened. Our government is going to organize a business promotion group to Haimen soon. After research, we decided to let you go with the group. On the one hand, we have to write the relevant documents well, on the other hand, we also want to conduct comprehensive inspections on you. exercise."

Wu Qing's beautiful big eyes flickered a few times, and there was no excitement on his face. "Is director Bai not going? He is in charge of our text synthesis."

"He went to Shenzhen with Consultant Li and had a very important negotiation with a foreign businessman," Liu Rong said.

"That's good. I'll go. When are you leaving? What do you need me to do?" Wu Qing replied straightforwardly.

"Are you working? I don't have anything right now. I read the press release. It's well written and can be printed. If you have any specific tasks, Ma Guanjun will let you know. However, you are away on a business trip, your child, your husband..." There was a concerned smile on Liu Rong's face.

"The child and his grandma, husband? He never comes home."

"Oh, it's hard for you too. If you need my help with any difficulties, you are welcome."

"Thank you mayor, may I go?"

"can."

Looking at the back of Wu Qing leaving, Liu Rong didn't recover for a while.
