Chapter 545: Bird gun changes to cannon
The County Bureau Director was humbly listening to Lao Ma talk about policy. Seeing me come in, he looked at Mao Ping behind me and slapped the table, saying, "Old Mao, I'm looking for you!"
Mao Ping said with a grin, "What are you looking for me for? I have no friendship with you."
The County Bureau Director roared, "Old Mao, don't joke, I have serious business looking for you."
He pushed Lao Ma aside, stood up, walked over, hugged Mao Ping's shoulder, and said, "Let's go outside and talk."
Mao Ping looked at me for help, but his feet refused to move.
Everyone in the room looked at them. I smoothed things over, "Old Mao, you go out and talk, we'll wait for you."
People who came down from the province rarely saw such scenes. They were usually dressed in suits and shoes, speaking with attention to civilization and politeness, unlike us who opened our mouths and closed our mouths with rough words, talking and laughing without any scruples.
Professor Luo was an expert and scholar type. His world was all quiet, and he wouldn't be like us, noisy and lively all day long. Sure enough, I saw him frowning, not saying a word, sitting on the side with a livid face.
Lao Ma had been to the countryside and had picked up cow dung, so he was familiar with such scenes. Only Xiao Qiu and Gan Lu had lived in the city all their lives, and everything in the countryside was fresh and confused to them.
I smiled and explained, "Our grassroots cadres are all like this."
Lao Ma first expressed understanding, saying that grassroots cadres have great pressure, and their tempers will naturally be explosive. Sometimes speaking with a bit of roughness is also a way to relieve spirit.
I gave Lao Ma a thumbs up, and Lao Ma smiled proudly.
Gan Lu asked me hesitantly, "Do they usually talk like this?"
I smiled and said, "Eight or nine out of ten. To tell you the truth, I was the same in the past."
Gan Lu stared at me in surprise, as if she didn't know me, looked me up and down, and tutted, "Can't tell!"
We were talking in the room, and outside was Old Mao and the County Bureau Director arguing about something. Their voices were very loud, and a few sentences drifted in from time to time, making us not understand clearly intermittently.
Just when I wanted to stand up to persuade them, the two of them entered one after another, each pulled a chair and sat down, starting to talk and laugh without changing their faces, as if what happened just now didn't happen at all.
I asked tentatively, "Old Mao, what were you arguing about just now?"
Mao Ping stiffened his neck and pointed to the County Bureau Director, "You ask him."
I cast my eyes on the County Bureau Director. He smiled embarrassedly, waved his hand, and said, "Actually, it's nothing. Didn't his Maoshi Town set up a breeding farm? This part of the matter is managed by the forest police. People went to verify it, and this Old Mao actually instigated people to throw our people into the reservoir, almost causing a human life."
I couldn't help laughing and asked suspiciously, "Isn't the forest police from the Forestry Bureau? Do you also manage it?"
The County Bureau Director spread his hands helplessly and said, "They all wear a national emblem on their heads. The administrative power is indeed in the Forestry Bureau, but the business part is still our business."
I turned to Mao Ping and smiled, teasing him, "Old Mao, your courage is fat enough, daring to throw the police into the water."
Mao Ping complained, "Don't listen to him, I didn't do that at all. You ask him, was I there?"
The County Bureau Director raised his eyebrows and said, "Old Mo, don't be stubborn, without your instructions, who ate this leopard's courage? You are the boss behind the scenes!"
Mao Ping also raised his eyebrows and shouted, "You manage your own people, don't look for trouble for no reason. You don't inquire, my breeding farm, can the background be small? I tell you, it's foreign capital. If you dare to destroy the investment environment of my Maoshi Town, next time it won't be as simple as throwing into the water."
Seeing another quarrel about to break out, a few people from the province sitting on the side watched them argue with interest.
I stopped them and said, "Don't argue anymore. Actually, I think it's a misunderstanding. Why make everyone unhappy? If you have something to say, sit down and talk. Any problem can be put on the table to talk. Old Mao developing the economy is a good thing, but it must be within the scope allowed by law. If it exceeds the bottom line, it will naturally be handled by their political and legal organs."
The chef had already killed the crocodile and came up to ask Mao Ping what kind of dish to make.
Mao Ping was still angry, staring and roaring: "You ask me? Are you the chef or am I the chef? I know how to do it, why pay you? Roll!"
The chef ran away in a puff of smoke, and Mao Ping's words made us all laugh.
After a while, Deng Hanyu pushed the door and came in. Seeing a room full of people, he stood at the door in astonishment and didn't move.
Mao Ping looked for his hand and shouted: "Old Deng, come to my side."
Deng Hanyu smiled stiffly, nodded and greeted everyone one by one.
When it was my turn, he grinned and said in a low voice: "Chen Feng, you are lucky. My brother went to the Xiangxi region, heard that he couldn't even eat enough."
I was stunned, remembered Deng Hanyuan in the Party School, and went to examine him again, finding that the two brothers didn't look like each other at all.
Deng Hanyu's appearance was still handsome, with a high nose and big eyes, and two thick and black eyebrows, looking very masculine. And his brother Deng Hanyuan, with a thin figure, seemed to have a thief's eyebrows and mouse's eyes, somewhat mean.
I nodded and asked him to sit. Deng Hanyu consciously sat beside Mao Ping and smiled and greeted the County Bureau Director.
Deng Hanyu had just arrived for a while when Liu Yue Bai broke in anxiously.
My eyes lit up, and I was actually a little panicked.
Yue Bai was still dressed as delicately as before. Her skin looked more watery than before, and a pair of eyes turned as if they could speak.
She came in and shook hands and greeted everyone one by one. I introduced the cadres from the province on the side.
Yue Bai finished shaking everyone's hands, and finally handed her hand to me and said: "Let's shake hands too, after all, you belong to the superior now."
I reached out and held her slender little hand, suddenly feeling an itch in my palm. I looked up at her and found that she was pursing her lips and smiling, but her face couldn't see any movement at all.
It turned out that she hooked her little finger and buckled it a few times in my palm.
From Suxi Town to the county seat, it took at least more than an hour to walk. Yue Bai came so fast, it was really beyond my expectation.
Yue Bai seemed to see my doubt, smiled and said: "There is another person waiting below, she sent me here."
I asked: "Who?"
Yue Bai smiled without saying a word, and after a long while said a sentence: "Go see for yourself."
She spoke like this, I guessed the person who came was either Qian Youyu or Xuelai. So I asked her: "Drove here?"
Yue Bai smiled and said: "Now our Suxi Town, it's a bird gun changing to a cannon. You ask Old Deng, how are we now."
Her so-called Old Deng refers to Deng Hanyu. Deng Hanyu was once the mayor of Chengguan Town, and he was a person who could call the wind and rain in Chunshan County. Compared with him, I was simply not on the same level of conversation.
There are many things in life that cannot be completed according to one's own wishes. For example, Deng Hanyu, who was wholeheartedly in the position of deputy county magistrate, didn't expect that I, a dark horse, would kill him from behind, smashing his wishful thinking to pieces. Therefore, I know very well that in Deng Hanyu's heart, I am his enemy for a lifetime.
Not competing for the deputy county magistrate is not a big deal, changing places and starting over is the same work. The problem is that he followed Guan Peishan closely, and Guan Peishan was unwilling to let go of him, taking him to the city's economic reform leading office, sealing a deputy group leader's idle position and sending him down to Chunshan County.
There was no place for him to display his ambitions in Chunshan County. Because I took a sum of money in their hands, I reached an agreement with Guan Peishan to hand over all the infrastructure projects of Suxi Town to them.
Deng Hanyu became the person in charge of water and electricity in Suxi Town from that day on.
Deng Hanyu heard Yue Bai point to his general, and said with a face full of smiles: "It's really different. Now the cadres of Suxi Town go out, the cars they take are several grades higher than the county cadres."
"Is it?" I asked with interest. Back then, Suxi Township had a jeep, which was brought by Guo Wei when he came to be the secretary. Guo Wei's jeep was like his private thing, and I had no chance to touch it at all. Later Guo Wei was transferred, but I had no interest in sitting in the jeep he left behind.
The dishes were finally on the table, and a total of three tables were opened. One table was in the private room, and the other two tables were in the hall.
I personally held the pot, poured a glass of wine for everyone, raised the glass and said: "Thank you for coming, I will drink first."
I originally had a lot to say, but as soon as I saw so many people mixed together, I couldn't say more.
After three rounds of wine, Mao Ping asked: "Leaders, you came from thousands of miles away, it is said that you are doing research for the future reduction and exemption of agricultural tax?"
Lao Ma immediately took the conversation: "Town Mayor Mao is right."
Mao Ping drank the wine in the glass and said: "If it is really like this, can our era be considered a prosperous age?"
"Of course!" I took his words and said: "Only when the common people are happy will the country be prosperous. Otherwise, everything is fake."
Suddenly a scream, we followed the sound and looked over, and saw Yue Bai's face pale, looking at me at a loss. ===== CHAPTER 546 =====
