A Will Eternal Chapter 351
After dinner, everyone left, and Fan Shanshan arranged for Ye Shilan to rest at the Welcoming Hotel: "Reporter Ye, you won't leave Nan Sichuan today! Why don't you take a break? I'll accompany you to take a hot spring bath in the afternoon, have a good night's night, and then go back to the provincial capital tomorrow, okay?"
"Director Fan, thank you. I'll take a break and go back. You can go back and rest too! When I leave, just tell the front desk, right?"
Ye Shilan is also a regular guest at the Nanchuan Hotel. She knew that any guest who came to the county would just say hello and leave. If you pay the bill, the receptionist would sign a letter later.
"Okay then! I wish you a good journey. When you leave, call me and I'll see you off."
"No need to give it away, thank you for your kindness."
After saying that, Ye Shilan pulled Chen Erbing into the room of the hotel. When Fan Shanshan saw a man and a woman entering the room, she was embarrassed to follow her and had to go home.
When he entered the room, Ye Shilan hugged Chen Erbing and kissed her for a while: "You are a bad guy. After leaving Hemei Town yesterday, he didn't even say hello. You know, how worried they are!"
"I'm sorry, Liu Ming's incident happened too suddenly and there was no time to explain it to you. At that time, I rescued her from the resort. Now that something happened to her, I definitely can't stand by. Do you think so?"
"Well! I understand you." Ye Shilan said, kissing Chen Erbing passionately. It seemed that the plant that had been dry for a long time had not been rained for several months, so I was so worried.
Gradually, the two of them had lost their bodies and they were so entangled. They were not until they were sweating and panting, and then they were reluctant to part.
"I want to go to Nanmu County this afternoon to interview Liu Ming's hometown. I want to use the people in their village to get the evaluation of Liu Ming by the people around me. The news produced in this way will be more profound and resonate with the audience."
Ye Shilan, who was nestled in Chen Erbing's arms, looked at Chen Erbing with anticipation, obviously wanted Erbing to accompany her to Nanmu County for an interview.
"Okay, I'll call back to the town to see if I have a meeting this afternoon. If not, I'll go with you."
This is the most troublesome thing that Chen Erbing felt after becoming the mayor. Whenever the meetings are held by various departments in the county, the mayor must attend. Meetings held by family planning, forestry, statistics, comprehensive management, agriculture and other departments all sent a notice in the name of the county government office, and they often said that it was a meeting in the county so that the mayor must attend.
In order to save trouble, some town mayors asked other people in the town to participate. At the beginning, everyone could still get away with it. But later, after the "relevant departments" discovered this problem, they took some measures to prevent the town mayor from escaping the meeting.
This measure is very simple. Every time a meeting is held, the mayors of each town are arranged in the first row. At the position, they also place a name sign and write the names of each town.
In this way, the county leaders sitting on the rostrum looked at the seats in the first row below and knew whether the mayor of which town came or not. Those who did not come to the meeting would have to explain the situation in writing to the county government office.
In fact, most of those meetings have no direct relationship with the mayor. If the mayor has to do every task, then the mayor will not be able to complete these tasks even if he has three heads and six arms.
Chen Erbing immediately called back to the town party and government office. Fortunately, the office had not received a notice from the mayor to attend the meeting. Chen Erbing then called Zhang Meiting and said that she wanted to be in the city and would not go to the town today.
After sleeping for an hour, Chen Erbing and Ye Shilan set out towards Nanmu County.
The car walked on the road for an hour and finally arrived at Liu Ming's hometown, Pingdishan Village.
Pingdi Mountain Village is at the foot of a lush mountain. Locals call this mountain Guanyin Mountain. It is said that there is a large stone on the mountain. It looks very much like Guanyin Bodhisattva from a distance, so it is named after this mountain.
The car stopped in the open space in front of the village. Chen Erbing looked at the pond in front of the village and saw that there was not much water stored in the pond, and the edges of the pond were covered with weeds. White, red, black plastic bags and some domestic waste were everywhere.
"Oh, think about it, when I was young, I often went to the ponds in the village to swim. But now there is only a little water in every pond in every village. Moreover, it is all turbid and smelly black water. While we are pursuing economic development, we really lose the beautiful rural scenery!"
Seeing Chen Erbing sighing, Ye Shilan motivated him: "Aren't you the leader of a town now? If you have any ideas, try to realize them as much as possible. Now, it is the time when you display your talents and show your skills. Don't waste this good opportunity!"
"Okay, I will definitely do it!" Chen Erbing nodded solemnly.
Seeing a small car coming in in the village, several old men sitting on the stone slab in the head of the village looked at the car. They saw that they were not the ones they knew, but they didn't make a sound. However, the children in the village rarely saw a small car coming in the village, and they ran up to watch the fun.
"Hello, kids, come, I'll treat you to candy. Tell me where Sister Liu Ming's house lives in the village, okay?" Ye Shilan really didn't fight an unprepared battle. She took out some from her pocket like a magic trick, and lay down.
Unexpectedly, when the children who were originally surrounded were about to send candy when they saw Ye Shilan, they did not come up as she imagined, and they all rushed forward and scrambled to eat candy. Instead, everyone took a few steps back timidly and waved their hands:
"The adults and teachers told us that we should not eat what strangers give us, nor drink water given by strangers. Those are bad guys."
Although several children stared at the candies and even drooled, they still resisted the desire to eat and did not dare to take a step forward.
Alas, in this society now, I dare not trust strangers anymore. On the Internet, Chen Erbing often sees such words "It is not easy to talk to strangers."
It seems that we still have to find adults to find Liu Ming’s family. So Chen Erbing and Ye Shilan walked into the village.
When I walked into Pingdishan, I saw that the village was quiet, with only some elderly people and children in the village, and there were not many young and middle-aged people. It seemed that like most villages, young people went out to work, and only elderly people, women and children were left in the village, referred to as Unit 603861.
Because Liu Ming was worried that his parents were unhappy for a moment and had not asked the public security department to tell her about the arrest, Chen Erbing and Ye Shilan had to find other excuses to inquire about some situations.
Walking in the alleys in the village, Ye Shilan felt cool. The wind blew on her skin, making her feel cool. Compared to the air conditioners in the city, she really felt like she was returning to nature. No wonder many people nowadays are always muttering when they have money and want to live in the countryside.
But Ye Shilan did not forget the mission of her trip to Pingdishan Village. She solicited Erbing's opinions and asked: "Erping, wait and see Liu Ming's parents, what excuses should we find?"
"Don't worry! I've already thought about this issue. We said we were a staff member of the Aegean Western Restaurant and planned to promote Liu Ming to be the financial director, but because this position is too important, I'll learn about her character in private."
"You said 'financial director', can people in the countryside understand?" Girls are always girls, and they are more careful than men. Ye Shilan immediately asked Chen Erbing.
"Then just say that you have done it. The cashiers should understand it!"
"Okay, this excuse is pretty good. Just say you are the owner of the restaurant and I am your wife. Look, we look like the boss and the boss's wife in this outfit, right?"
After saying that, Ye Shilan pulled her glossy clothes, as if she wanted to verify what she had just said.
"No! Shilan, this is absolutely not possible!" Chen Erbing refused decisively.
Ye Shilan felt a little confused. Although she was good with Chen Erbing, she was not as good as she was called "husband" and "wife" in front of outsiders. What she did today was a loss-making business, which allowed the kid to take advantage of it, but Erbing refused.
Humph! If you don’t agree, I’m not happy! Ye Shilan thought hatefully in her heart, then her almond eyes opened and she slashed the two cakes.
"Shilan, don't get me wrong. It's not that you are not worthy of me, but that you don't know much about the situation in the countryside." Then, Chen Erbing patiently explained to Ye Shilan that in the countryside, although the masses say that the government is not good and the officials are not good, when they really encounter things, they will still believe in the government and rely on the government.
Especially now, scammers are rampant and frauds are emerging one after another. People in rural areas have a special trust in the government, especially the public security departments.
"Shilan, I mean, I will disclose my identity. I just say that I am the mayor of Hemei Town, Nanchuan County, and I happened to have a work permit. And you are the owner of the Western Restaurant in Aegean. I am accompanying you to learn about Liu Ming's situation. In this case, the people in the village will definitely believe it."
Unexpectedly, a small question had been entangled with the two of them for so long. Ye Shilan had heard Chen Erbing's explanation and agreed with his point of view.
So, Chen Erbing walked to a middle-aged man sitting at the door of his house and was smoking a cigarette, took out his work permit, and asked: "Hello, fellow villager! I am the mayor of Hemei Town, Nanchuan County. My name is Chen Erbing. This is my work permit. I want to ask you about something now."
The middle-aged man looked at Chen Erbing from head to toe. Seeing that the man was dressed properly and spoke sincerely, he took the ID from Erbing and went to check it out.
The middle-aged man looked at the ID and then at Chen Erbing. After a while of exploring, he handed the ID back to Erbing, and then said concisely: "If you have anything to do, just say it!"
"I want to ask you where Miss Liu Ming lives?" Chen Erbing spoke while handing the cigarette to the middle-aged man.
