Municipal Government!

Wang Jianmin had just entered his office and sat down to drink a sip of tea when his secretary knocked and entered.

"Mayor, Zhou Dong just called and wants to see you, he will be here in half an hour."

Wang Jianmin's heart was filled with doubts. He had just met yesterday, what matter did he have to find him again today?

"When he arrives, he can see me at any time."

This meaning was very clear: no matter who he was meeting or what work he was discussing, as long as Zhou Andong arrived, he would meet him immediately.

"Okay!" The secretary responded quickly, then turned and walked out of the office quickly.

Wang Jianmin picked up the internal reference placed on the side and flipped through it. However, there was no content about Zhou Andong's speech at the appointment and removal meeting yesterday. This made him feel somewhat surprised, but thinking about it, the only explanation was that it was sent too late last night and had passed the typesetting time, so it didn't have time to be published.

However, he believed that he would definitely be able to see this speech tomorrow. If it still wasn't published, there was only one possibility: someone within the newspaper office was dissatisfied with him, the executive vice mayor, and intended to embarrass him. Otherwise, Zhou Andong's speech at the appointment and removal meeting, which was so profound, had no reason not to be in the internal reference.

Time passed second by second, and in the blink of an eye, it was 8:40. Wang Jianmin slowly set down the newspaper in his hand and took a sip of the tea on the table. Just as he put the teacup back to its original place, the door to his office was knocked on right on time.

"Come in."

Following Wang Jianmin's voice, the office door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked in with a document. He walked to the desk and stood respectfully.

"Mayor..."

By the time Zhou Andong arrived, a row of department leaders who had come to report work were already sitting in the corridor outside Wang Jianmin's office. This bunch of guys were sitting upright, with serious expressions, occasionally looking at the documents in their hands.

However, when Zhou Andong appeared, everyone looked at him simultaneously. This bunch of guys froze for a moment, then didn't care about the occasion, stood up one after another, smiles appearing on their faces, and greeted Zhou Andong one after another.

"Zhou Dong, hello, I am Zhao Qing from the Municipal Health Bureau, this is my business card, please accept it."

"Zhou Dong, hello, I am Niu Qianjin from the Municipal Commercial Bureau, this is my business card, please accept it."

"Zhou Dong, hello, I am Zhao Yunlai from the Environmental Protection Bureau, do you have time? I'll host tonight, let's find a place to drink and chat!"

"Zhou Dong..."

"Zhou Dong..."

"..."

As soon as Zhou Andong came, he was surrounded, and the enthusiasm didn't need to be mentioned. They were like old friends reunited after a long time, without any unfamiliarity, and invited Zhou Andong to dinner one after another.

This bunch of guys were all heads of various departments, and their levels were not lower than Zhou Andong, the Factory Director of the Woolen Mill. Especially in terms of power, Zhou Andong's power as the Factory Director of the Woolen Mill couldn't even leave the Woolen Mill, so he couldn't compare with these people.

Therefore, these guys were so enthusiastic about Zhou Andong, not because he was the Factory Director of the Woolen Mill, but because of another identity—Chairman of the Yugong Group.

Zhou Andong greeted everyone with a smile, took the business cards and put them in his pocket very solemnly, giving everyone enough politeness and respect. This bunch of guys were all mothers-in-law sitting on top of his head, and he couldn't afford to offend even one of them.

Just at this moment, Wang Jianmin's secretary appeared just right, relieving Zhou Andong: "Leaders, the Mayor has a special instruction that as soon as Zhou Dong arrives, he must report to him immediately. So, I will take Zhou Dong to see the leader now. If you have anything to say, it won't be too late to chat after Zhou Dong sees the leader."

Hearing the secretary's words, everyone quickly cleared the way. What kind of honor was this? He didn't even have to wait in line, but went directly to see the leader, and more importantly, someone was currently reporting inside.

Zhou Andong smiled apologetically at everyone and said: "Leaders, I think you all know clearly that I have just taken over the Woolen Mill, and many tasks haven'

Although his words were brief, his attitude was sincere, making people feel more favorable toward him, so they nodded one after another to show their understanding. Although everyone in their hearts knew that this was just a polite remark, being able to talk to Zhou Andong today, get familiar with each other, and leave a business card was enough.

Wang Jianmin was listening to the middle-aged man's report when the office door was knocked. He knew it was Zhou Andong who had arrived, and at this moment, the middle-aged man also stopped his report and turned his head to look at the door with a surprised face.

He was reporting work, and the leader's secretary was also there. Interrupting the leader's work at this time meant either something very urgent had happened or a very important person had arrived.

"Please come in!"

As Wang Jianmin's voice fell, the office door opened and the secretary walked in: "Mayor, Chairman Zhou is here."

Wang Jianmin said to the middle-aged man: "Old Sun, you wait a moment before reporting."

"Okay!" Old Sun was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately. After agreeing, he turned to walk out, and then he saw Zhou Andong walking in: "Chairman Zhou!"

Zhou Andong smiled slightly, nodded at Old Sun, and stepped into the office.

Wang Jianmin smiled and pointed to the sofa: "Sit down!"

The secretary poured a glass of water for Zhou Andong first, then silently retreated.

Wang Jianmin asked curiously: "What's the matter? You didn't tell me yesterday, and you ran over here specially today?"

Zhou Andong said in a deep tone: "I know you are very busy, leader, but there is no other way. The matter is already urgent, and I have to come and disturb you."

Wang Jianmin's heart beat violently, and he had a very bad premonition. Mainly because Zhou Andong's tone was full of anger, coupled with his serious expression, Wang Jianmin had to think of the worst.

"What happened?"

Zhou Andong said in a very heavy tone: "The school run by the Woolen Mill office has insufficient school buildings for the technical secondary school, which has seriously affected the quality of teaching. And the school buildings for the primary and junior high schools, while not exactly dangerous buildings, can no longer shelter from the wind and rain."

In winter, the wind leaks everywhere, and in summer, the roof leaks rain. Some windows cannot be closed tightly, some cannot be opened, and many even have no glass, covered with plastic sheets, which seriously affects the indoor light.

And the most dangerous are the staff dormitories, many of which have become dangerous buildings. If not resolved as soon as possible, who knows which day, perhaps tomorrow or the day after, it will collapse with a bang and bury people inside."

Speaking of this, Zhou Andong paused, the expression on his face became more serious, and his tone became heavier: "Mayor, this is definitely not me alarmist. The actual situation is much more serious than what I said."
