Chapter 595 [Acquaintance] (Part 1)

This time, Xu Guangran finally found an opportunity. He was by Wen Guoquan and introduced the situation of the Deepwater Port to him. Gong Qiwei, the deputy mayor in charge of the Deepwater Port project, had no chance to speak. He followed the rear of the inspection team and walked with He Yingpei, the Minister of Organization.

It should be said that Xu Guangran is very familiar with the project of the Deepwater Port. He answered Wen Guoquan successfully several questions. Wen Guoquan was also satisfied. When the inspection was over, Wen Guoquan smiled and said, "What difficulties does Comrade Guangran have?"

Xu Guangran said: "It is the first time in Nancy's history and the first time in Pinghai's history. Difficulties are inevitable, but I have confidence that all our Nancy's cadres have confidence that we can overcome any difficulties and build the Nancy's deep water port within the specified time so that it can make great contributions to the Pinghai economy and the entire country's economy."

Of course, Wen Guoquan could hear that Xu Guangran's words of determination were clichés, but they were very good, and there was nothing to blame. Wen Guoquan nodded and said, "It's great." Compared with the words of being generous to Zhang Yang, he was much more stingy in praise of Xu Guangran.

Li Peiyuan, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Nancy City, glanced at Gong Qiwei with a little sympathy in his eyes. He did everything, but Xu Guangran took the limelight. In addition, Xu Guangran said this sentence is not very authentic and can overcome any difficulties. Did he forget that the funding problem not long ago caused the entire Shenshui Port to almost stop work? Vice Premier Wen asked if there were any difficulties. People wanted to give some help. You, Xu Guangran, don’t want such a good opportunity. Is this face really that important?

Song Huaiming still had some understanding of the situation in the Deepwater Port of Nancy. Several city leaders in Nancy ran to the province a few days ago because of money, hoping to get more financial support from the province, but in a blink of an eye, they became a problem that could be overcome. Song Huaiming was secretly amused. He remembered Xu Guangran's words. In the future, he would cry in the province and use this sentence to block him back.

Gong Qiwei really wanted to say a few words, but this kind of occasion is not suitable for him. If he expresses his thoughts, he will publicly sing a stage drama with Xu Guangran, and his work will become more difficult to carry out in the future. In the eyes of many people, he will think that he is a person who likes to show off and a person who wants to climb up on the shoulders of his leader.

Xu Guangran paid attention to Gong Qiwei from time to time. The thing he was most worried about was Gong Qiwei, for fear that Gong Qiwei would talk nonsense. However, today he kept saying that so far, Gong Qiwei was quite at ease. Xu Guangran gradually felt relieved. Gong Qiwei still had a big view and knew how to safeguard the honor of the entire Nancy City leadership team. He said to Wen Guoquan at the right time: "Prime Minister Wen, after you came to Nancy, you kept on the field inspection. You haven't had a rest yet. It's time to have lunch."

Wen Guoquan smiled and said, "It's time to have lunch."

Xu Guangran said: "Prime Minister Wen, let's have a meal first."

Wen Guoquan shook his head and said, "Just eat here, there is a construction site cafeteria!" He pointed to the construction site cafeteria in the distance and walked forward.

When Xu Guangran saw that he was really going to the cafeteria, he was panicked and rushed over and said, "Prime Minister Wen, there is a worker's cafeteria over there..."

Wen Guoquan smiled and said, "What's wrong with the workers' cafeteria? Our government is originally serving the workers and the millions of farmers. Can they eat, can we not eat?"

In the eyes of most people, Chinese Guoquan's current behavior is to make shows, and it is also a common political show. As Vice Premier of the State Council, he went deep into the front line and was willing to eat with workers. How approachable is this? Xu Guangran couldn't continue to say anything. He winked. Deputy Mayor Wang Haibo had already run over in a hurry. Song Huaiming saw that Xu Guangran was obviously not prepared. Such details should have been considered early in the morning. The leaders went deep into the grassroots, got along with the people, and had dinner with them. There were too many news about such things. It may be that Wen Guoquan came to Nancy today, which caught these cadres in Nancy off guard, and their preparations were not sufficient.

Wen Guoquan laughed secretly. It was not on a whim when he was having dinner at the construction site. It was already past ten o'clock when he came to Nancy. He stayed at the construction site of the new sports center for half an hour. He visited the construction site of the Deepwater Port for so long. It was already past twelve o'clock. Did Xu Guangran not foresee that he would choose to eat at the construction site?

Now it is the time for workers to eat, and the arrival of the leaders immediately disrupted the normal living order of workers. There are big pots of rice and small fried department in the construction site canteen. They have never received such a big leader. When the person in charge of the construction site canteen heard that the Vice Premier of the State Council was coming, he was so scared that he was at a loss. This is not an honor. If the Vice Premier of the State Council is not satisfied with the food, wouldn’t he be unlucky?

Deputy Mayor Wang Haibo saw that he was very nervous and smiled and said, "You don't have to be afraid, just let the leaders eat well."

The canteen head trembled and said, "I just bought a hundred sets of stainless steel tableware. I immediately asked someone to clean it... for the leader to use it. It's too late to buy vegetables, what should I eat?"

Wang Haibo pointed to the recipe today on the small blackboard and said: "Four dishes and one soup work meal."

The canteen head said: "When the leader is here, can you just eat these?"

Wang Haibo said: "You don't have any other dishes?"

At this time, Gong Qiwei also rushed over. He was in charge of the Shenshui Port construction site. The leaders wanted to have dinner here. Of course, he had to make arrangements. When Gong Qiwei arrived, he heard Wang Haibo discussing the menu with the canteen leader. Gong Qiwei said: "Old, it is mainly to ensure hygiene and let the leader eat full. Other things don't matter. Big pot rice is the same. Each person has two meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes, and a tomato and egg soup, and enough rice and steamed buns. Get ready quickly!"

Wang Haibo came to Gong Qiwei and said, "Qiwei, do you think you should add some more dishes?"

Gong Qiwei shook his head and said, "The leader chose to eat at the construction site, and he didn't want to make the food here delicious, do you understand?"

Of course, Wang Haibo understood that eating is just a situation. Vice Premier Wen was accommodating with the workers at the construction site. This is also a manifestation of being friendly to the people. In fact, they have done this kind of thing. Wang Haibo was in charge of agriculture in the past. When he went to the countryside, he also went to the people's homes to eat. What taste can be made with home-cooked meals lies in the environment, not in the food itself.

According to Wang Haibo's intention, those workers should be allowed to leave the site early, but Gong Qiwei stopped him and now he asked the workers to leave the cafeteria with their rice bowls. Vice Premier Wen didn't know what to think when he saw it.

Wen Guoquan walked into the workers' cafeteria surrounded by everyone. When the construction workers saw such a big formation, they stopped to eat one by one and looked at the door. Xu Guangran, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, said in an extremely excited tone: "Dear workers and masters, our respected Premier Wen is here to visit everyone!"

The workers also felt suddenly that these construction workers usually couldn't even see the mayor even the last time, let alone the Prime Minister. At this moment, all their eyes were concentrated on Wen Guoquan, and no one could care about eating.

Wen Guoquan smiled and said, "Thank you all for your hard work. I'm not the time to disturb everyone's meals. But this is the cafeteria. If you want to eat, I have to eat too. Can we have a meal together? Are you welcome?"

When the workers heard that the Vice Premier wanted to have dinner with everyone, everyone applauded and said, "Welcome!"

Welcome is welcome, but the workers were obviously much more restrained. Some workers hurriedly finished the meal and left. Wang Haibo and Gong Qiwei discussed it and asked the cafeteria to add a chicken leg to each worker. The workers saw the benefits of Vice Premier Wen coming to inspect from the chicken leg. They were curious that a cadre of Vice Premier Wen, such a big cavalry, actually ate a big pot meal with them.

Wen Guoquan brought lunch and sat down opposite a young worker. The young man was not very old and looked just seventeen or eighteen years old. Seeing Premier Wen sitting opposite him, the young man's head was drooping low, and he didn't even dare to eat food. He swallowed steamed buns in big mouthfuls.

Wen Guoquan laughed: "Young man, don't eat too fast, be careful not to choke."

The young man did choke, his face flushed, and he took a big mouthful of tomato and egg soup before he recovered. He wanted to leave but he didn't dare to leave.

Wen Guoquan said kindly: "Young man, how old are you this year?"

"Seventeen!"

"Have you finished high school?"

The young man shook his head: "No, my father said studying is useless, so I'd better make more money while I'm young."

Wen Guoquan said: "What is the purpose of making money?"

"Making money is to build a house and marry a wife!" As soon as the young man finished speaking, everyone around him laughed, and his face turned even more violent.

Wen Guoquan said: "You should study hard if you have the opportunity."

The young man's father was an honest middle-aged man. When he saw his son being asked, he was afraid that his son would say something wrong, so he came over and said, "Xiaolong, hurry up and work when he is full."

Wen Guoquan smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, this master, the young man hasn't eaten dinner yet. Besides, if you ask him to work after he has enough, it will be bad for your health."

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Prime Minister Wen, my child has only come out to work with me this year. The children in the village have never seen the world."

Wen Guoquan said: "You migrant workers are indispensable in the construction of cities, masters, are you having any difficulties? Don't be afraid, you can tell me it out. There are so many leaders here. We come here just to understand the situation and understand your actual difficulties. If you tell me out, we can help solve them."

The middle-aged man shook his head: "It's pretty good, there's no difficulty."

The young man pursed his lips, as if he had something to say, but he did not hide this from Wen Guoquan's eyes. Wen Guoquan smiled and encouraged him, "If you have something to say, don't have any worries."

The young man said, "It's the New Year, and the salary I hadn't paid last month yet!"

When Xu Guangran heard this, his face changed suddenly. He was afraid that something would happen, and he would encounter any problems after all.

The young man's father was so scared that his face turned pale. He blamed him, "Xiaolong, what are you talking about?" He smiled and said to Wen Guoquan, "The child is ignorant, the Prime Minister, he is ignorant."

Wen Guoquan turned to Xu Guangran and said, "What's going on?"

Xu Guangran really didn't know what was going on. He had never asked about such details. He looked at Gong Qiwei. If there was a problem, he would first find another company. Now Gong Qiwei is responsible for the project of the Deepwater Port. Who else can he find if he doesn't ask for such a thing?

Gong Qiwei came over and said, "Prime Minister Wen, this is the situation. There were some problems with the funds in the early stage of Shenshui Port. Under the leadership of Secretary Xu, the problem has just been solved. Some remaining problems are being gradually solved. Workers' wages have been repaid in batches. Before New Year's Day, all the wages owed to workers can be paid."

Gong Qiwei's explanation is reasonable, but Wen Guoquan's serious expression did not show any link. He said in a deep voice: "No matter how hard it is, the workers cannot be hard. The wages of migrant workers cannot be owed. It is not easy for them to work. They must be rewarded for their work. While establishing a labor contract, they have established a kind of integrity. They work hard. As the other party to the contract, they have the responsibility and obligation to give them the remuneration they deserve. Arrears are a breach of contract. This matter must be resolved immediately. Before New Year's Day? Does it take so long to repay wages? Is your work efficiency so low? A week or a week must be solved!"
