Chapter 3190: Will it be a waste?

In early July, Yabei Provincial Party Committee Secretary Gan Yuru conducted a two-day inspection of Baozhou City. During his term, he did not come to Baozhou often. The first time was when he just took office and toured all the cities in the province, and this time was the second time.

Zhao Yichen led the leaders of the whole city to conduct a welcoming ceremony for Gan Yuru in the northern suburbs of Baozhou City. The July sun was already very poisonous. Although it was only a little past seven in the morning, standing on the side of the road still made people sweat profusely.

Such weather made these pampered leading cadres a bit unbearable, but none of them showed an unhappy expression on their faces, nor did anyone say any complaining words. They didn't even wipe the sweat off their faces.

Today, it was Secretary Gan who came, the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, the number one person in Yabei Province, the person who could decide their fate. What did it matter to wait here for a while and be in the sun for a while?

Although Su Xinghui didn't like this set, in the officialdom, the higher his position, the less he could be unconventional, so he could only patiently stand among the group of people. Fortunately, he had achieved success in internal energy, so even in the sun, he wouldn't feel too hot. There was only a shallow bit of sweat on his forehead.

On such an occasion, the leaders' secretaries couldn't bring an umbrella to shade the leaders from the sun, so they could only hold on hard.

Everyone stood in the order of their official ranks. In the officialdom, such an order was very particular and must not be stood wrong. If you stood wrong, although there was no written rule saying you were wrong, the bad reputation would definitely spread.

Therefore, when holding a meeting, name tags would be placed on everyone's seats, and there were strict rules on who sat where, which could avoid sitting in the wrong position.

Of course, for those who had been in the officialdom for a long time, even without name tags, they knew their positions and would absolutely not stand in the wrong place.

Beside Su Xinghui was Executive Vice Mayor Xin Jing. Xin Jing was also tanned with a pretty face and had a layer of sweat beads. Seeing the sweat beads on her face, Su Xinghui took a step back slightly and used his body to block the sunlight for Xin Jing.

He was tall, more than half a head taller than Xin Jing, and his build was much larger than Xin Jing's. Now it was morning, and the angle of the sunlight could still be blocked, so Xin Jing suddenly felt a coolness. She turned her head slightly and smiled sweetly at Su Xinghui.

Su Xinghui still looked straight ahead. Although Xin Jing knew that Su Xinghui was deliberately blocking the sunlight for her, she couldn't say anything at this time. After she smiled, she also cast her gaze forward.

At this time, a motorcade drove over from the road ahead. Looking at it, it should be the motorcade of the Provincial Party Committee. The crowd here suddenly became restless. Zhao Yichen looked back at everyone, and everyone suddenly cheered up, puffed out their chests, and made their standing posture more standard and more conspicuous. If they were seen by the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, maybe they could leave a good impression on him.

Before long, everyone stood straight. The motorcade got closer and closer and stopped in front of them. Gan Yuru got out of the car. He first walked towards Zhao Yichen, shook hands with Zhao Yichen, and then shook hands with others one by one, saying "hard work."

Gan Yuru was usually a very approachable leader. Of course, this was only a superficial phenomenon. After he came to Yabei Province, he had set off two political storms, and I don't know how many cadres had fallen. He had never been soft-handed, so everyone wouldn't think he was a "good guy" just because of his approachability.

After Gan Yuru shook hands with Xin Jing, his hand reached out to Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui shook hands with Gan Yuru with both hands and said, "Hello, Secretary Gan!"

Gan Yuru shook hands with Su Xinghui with one hand and patted Su Xinghui's shoulder with the other, smiling and saying, "Hello, Comrade Xinghui!"

Gan Yuru's intimate actions towards Su Xinghui made everyone stare at Su Xinghui with envy and jealousy. They all knew that Su Xinghui had been summoned by Gan Yuru, and Gan Yuru must appreciate Su Xinghui very much, but they didn't expect that his relationship with Su Xinghui was so intimate. This was completely the style of an elder towards a junior, and even had a bit of a joking flavor.

After Gan Yuru shook hands with everyone, he asked them to get in the car quickly. He let Zhao Yichen and Su Xinghui get into his car. At the front of the motorcade, several police cars and police motorcycles led the way, and the motorcade drove towards the urban area of Baozhou.

Gan Yuru's actions towards Su Xinghui made Zhao Yichen very envious. He knew that his blowing wind to Su Xinghui in advance this time, saying that he would accompany Gan Yuru throughout the whole process, was a right bet. With Su Xinghui there, there wouldn't be any big problems with Gan Yuru's inspection this time.

After Gan Yuru got in the car, he looked curiously at the scenery outside the window. He hadn't been to Baozhou for two or three years, and hadn't even passed by. When he went to the capital, he either took a plane or went directly through the expressway from Yanzhong to the capital.

His impression of Baozhou City was still stuck a few years ago, but the current Baozhou City had changed too much, which made him feel very novel.

Gan Yuru said, "Comrade Yichen, Baozhou City's economic construction achievements are great. It is completely different from when I came last time."

Zhao Yichen smiled and said, "Secretary Gan, Baozhou City's economic construction achievements are indeed great, but this is not my credit. The greatest credit belongs to Comrade Xinghui."

Su Xinghui said, "You can't say that. It should be said that it is the result of everyone's joint efforts. I alone don't have such great ability."

Gan Yuru said, "Don't be modest. If there are achievements, they should be affirmed. I see that Baozhou City's urban construction level is no worse than Yanzhong City's. I must take a good look."

Although Gan Yuru came this time mainly to see the implementation of the cadre assessment system in Baozhou City, he could of course also see other aspects of Baozhou City. And if there were achievements, he should also affirm them. Baozhou City's achievements were also Yabei Province's achievements.

Zhao Yichen said, "Secretary Gan, your words are very correct. Baozhou City's urban construction level is indeed very high. I also discovered this when I came to Baozhou, especially the overall planning of the city, which is much stronger than Yanzhong City's. I heard that this overall planning was Comrade Xinghui's idea."

Gan Yuru nodded and said, "Comrade Xinghui is indeed an expert in urban construction. I heard that he was famous for urban construction when he was in Hudong and Jiangyou, and he built the cities he governed very beautifully. It is our luck that he can come to our Yabei!"

Su Xinghui quickly said a few modest words.

The motorcade drove all the way from north to east towards the new district. Gan Yuru was overwhelmed by what he saw along the way. Baozhou City's urban construction level was indeed very high, and the originally chaotic planning had been improved and re-planned. This planning was carried out simultaneously with the renovation of the old city.

In the current Baozhou urban area, from north to south is a welcoming avenue. This avenue connects the road to Yanzhong City in the north and the road to the capital in the south. Vehicles entering the city from these two directions basically have to pass through this avenue.

And from east to west in the Baozhou urban area is a development avenue. This avenue connects the old urban area and the new district, including the Angao Industrial Park.

These two avenues form the central axis of the Baozhou urban area, both of which are wide roads with more than ten lanes. On these two avenues, there are also some expressways, secondary trunk roads, and branch roads. These roads are like human arteries, veins, and capillaries, forming Baozhou City's transportation network.

In the past Baozhou City, because the area of the old urban area was relatively small, the layout was relatively bloated, and the roads were relatively narrow due to their long history, traffic had always been relatively congested. This problem was very difficult to solve.

This was of course a planning problem, and it was also a common problem for many cities. In the early days of the city, there was no such scientific planning, which caused congestion and made the city's image very poor.

After Su Xinghui came, he re-planned the Baozhou urban area. He let the Baozhou urban area expand in four directions, making the Baozhou urban area expand several times, especially the new district in the east of the Baozhou urban area, which was the direction of the greatest expansion.

Then, through the renovation of the old city, he carried out large-scale demolition of the old urban area, which left enough space for the city's roads. In the setting of roads, he also set enough advance amount, considered the development of the city and the increase of cars in ten to a dozen years in advance, and left enough quantity and width for the roads.

If not, when the city wanted to demolish and widen the roads again in a dozen years, the difficulty would be unknown how much greater, and the price to be paid would be unknown how great. Su Xinghui had seen many such things in his previous life, so he must leave an advance amount.

On both sides of these roads, new high-rise buildings rose from the ground, some had been completed, and some were still under construction. This gave Baozhou a new look and vitality, which made Gan Yuru nod repeatedly.

However, Gan Yuru still turned back and asked Su Xinghui a question: "Xinghui, you planned Baozhou's roads so wide and built so many branch roads, will there be some waste?"

Gan Yuru had seen many "political achievement projects" done for political achievements. Those leaders were fond of greatness and success, engaged in some projects that the city clearly didn't need, raised their political achievements, and after they were promoted and left, they left the city with those unused projects and a pile of debts.
