Fan Hongyu just stood at the door, looking at the main leading cadres of Luhua Town in a room full of people. He knew four of the five people present. In addition to Zhou Ziqi and Lu Minfeng, there was also a deputy secretary. The only woman was the director of the Luhua Town Party and Government Office, also at the deputy section level.
Fan Hongyu had never seen the remaining middle-aged man in his forties, with dark skin and a prominent chest and belly.
Fan Hongyu has been to Luhua Town three times since he took office. Today is the fourth time. He is basically familiar with the main leading cadres in the town.
"County Magistrate Fan..."
Zhou Ziqi recovered from the shock and hurriedly came forward to greet him in a low voice. His face was red and he looked embarrassed, and he was very embarrassed. Several other town leaders stood with their hands down, looking equally embarrassed.
My mind is full of questions.
How did Fan Hongyu find this place?
Who leaked the news?
"Secretary Zhou, is there a holiday in town today?"
After a moment of silence, Fan Hongyu asked slowly, his tone did not seem too harsh, and his face was not very ugly.
"Well...no, no holiday...we, hehe..."
The more Fan Hongyu behaves like this, the more nervous Zhou Ziqi becomes. The incident happened suddenly. Where can I find any good excuse in such a short time?
He was caught on the spot!
"Then the work is too stressful and everyone needs to relax?"
Fan Hongyu continued to ask unhurriedly.
"Yes, yes, County Magistrate Fan, during this period, everyone is quite nervous at work, so, let's relax... We didn't play for long. We just came here for a while, just for everyone to play cards for fun...
"
Zhou Ziqi hurriedly followed Fan Hongyu's words to explain, stammering, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Fan Hongyu ignored him and his eyes fell directly on the mahjong table. There were also some banknotes. At a glance, there were quite a few, at least more than a thousand yuan.
In the early 1990s, the acting county magistrate Fan Hongyu's monthly salary and bonus totaled only more than 200 and less than 300. One thousand yuan was not a small amount.
Zhou Ziqi couldn't help but follow Fan Hongyu's gaze, with an even more embarrassed expression on his face.
During working hours, the secretary, deputy secretary, mayor, and director of the town’s party and government office were hiding in a hotel to play cards and gamble. They were caught on the spot by the county magistrate. No matter how he explained it, he could not justify it.
Lu Minfeng moved his hand, as if he wanted to put away the money on the table. This was completely a subconscious concealment action. But just as he stretched it forward, he immediately retracted it, and the same cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
"Who is this again?"
Fan Hongyu's eyes stayed on the face of the dark man in his forties and asked lightly.
"County Magistrate Fan, my name is Luo Zhonghe, I am a member of the town..."
The dark-skinned man replied hurriedly, nodding and bowing towards Fan Hongyu. This man was in a suit and leather shoes, dressed in a fashionable style, with a huge gold ring on his finger. He was obviously not an ordinary person, he should be a private boss.
The nouveau riche of this period, whether they were from the capital, provinces, cities, counties or villages, all had a common hobby, which was to decorate themselves with gold jewelry and show off their wealth.
Good jade is of higher quality than gold, but no one knows the quality.
Walking in fine clothes at night, the taste is bad, and the pretty eyes are made for the blind man to see.
Fan Hongyu nodded slightly and said: "Secretary Zhou, Mayor Lu, come with me to the embankment to have a look. I just came from the farm and Shiyuan. Their flood control projects are basically completed. I want to know about Luhua.
project progress."
"Hey, okay, okay..."
Zhou Ziqi and others nodded incessantly, like chickens pecking at rice.
Let’s leave this extremely embarrassing place first.
Fan Hongyu said no more and turned around to leave. Zhou Ziqi, Lu Minfeng and the deputy secretary followed closely. The director of the Party and Government Office hesitated for a moment, but collected all the banknotes on the table before following him out.
Luo Zhonghe walked last.
Liu Zi looked at it dumbfounded.
Why, this young man is actually the county magistrate?
Liu Zi never imagined that the county magistrate was actually younger than him, and many years younger.
How strange!
Looking at the expressions of Secretary Zhou, Mayor Lu and others, they were frightened.
This young county magistrate is so majestic!
Liuzi knew what kind of character Secretary Zhou was. On weekdays in Luhua Town, he was very talkative and condescending. He never thought that one day, Secretary Zhou would be so embarrassed.
Today is a real eye-opener.
Luhua Town is so big. The two cars left the Hongyu Hotel and quickly drove to the concrete mixing construction site. Just like when they first arrived, the construction site was quiet and not a single person could be seen.
Of course, there should be someone guarding the materials in the nearby work shed, but they didn't show up.
Fan Hongyu stood on the side of the construction site, accompanied by Zhou Ziqi and others. His expression had just recovered a little, but he became extremely embarrassed again.
"Secretary Zhou, Mayor Lu, has the levee renovation project been completed?"
Fan Hongyu asked calmly. So far, he has never lost his temper. He has always been calm and his tone is not harsh.
Zhou Ziqi then looked at Lu Minfeng, obviously hoping that he would answer Fan Hongyu's question. According to the division of labor among the town leaders, Lu Minfeng was the person in charge of the flood control and drought relief work, and the commander of the Luhua Town Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters.
Lu Minfeng's embarrassment and nervousness were not at all inferior to Zhou Ziqi's, but at this moment, he really had no room to dodge, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "County Magistrate Fan, it's almost finished, there's still a little bit left...
"
Fan Hongyu waved his hand, interrupted him, and asked: "How much is the difference?"
"This, this, there are probably still a few kilometers of levees that have not been reinforced..."
"How many kilometers is it?"
Fan Hongyu was not careless and continued to ask questions.
"Maybe, maybe about three kilometers..."
Lu Minfeng answered bravely, his back felt chilly and he was already soaked in cold sweat.
Fan Hongyu said calmly: "Okay, take me to see those three kilometers."
Lu Minfeng was a little dumbfounded. He couldn't help but look at Zhou Ziqi and asked him for help. Mayor Lu was just talking about the three kilometers figure. In fact, the embankment section had not been repaired and reinforced, and it was far more than three kilometers. He just didn't expect Fan Hongyu.
So true.
"County Chief Fan. Mayor Lu may have remembered this incorrectly. I learned about it before it rained yesterday. There should still be five or six kilometers of work to be completed..."
"Five or six kilometers? Okay, then let's take a look at the situation of these five or six kilometers."
Fan Hongyu did not relax and stared closely.
At this point, both Zhou Ziqi and Lu Minfeng were forced into a dead end. Without any room for maneuver, Zhou Ziqi made a sudden move and said, "Okay, please, County Magistrate Fan!"
His face gradually returned to normal and his tone became calmer.
Even if Fan Hongyu wants to catch a model, it is too late to beg for mercy at this time. Besides, Zhou Ziqi must not beg for mercy from Fan Hongyu. Otherwise, even if Fan Hongyu forgives him, I am afraid that Lu Jiu will never forgive him.
Zhou Ziqi did not dare to dream that he could have the good luck of Li Wenhan, "turning his back to seek glory" and actually get a bright future. After all, Lu Jiu is the secretary of the county party committee, and his authority in Yunhu is definitely not comparable to that of Xie Houming. Fan Hongyu
You can slap Xie Houming abruptly, and Xie Houming still has to give him a smile. The same action must not be used on Lu Jiu.
Even if Lu Jiu could not do anything to Fan Hongyu, if Zhou Ziqi were like Li Wenhan, he would definitely be a "dead end".
In the appointment of cadres, the county party secretary always has the most say.
Since I knew the idea so well and was caught by Fan Hongyu, I had no choice but to carry it to the end.
At least if he had to bear it to the end, Lu Jiu would be there to support him.
The two cars were on the road again, heading out of the town.
This section of the flood control embankment where the town government is located must always be repaired first, and the population here is the most dense. Zhou Ziqi and Lu Minfeng did not want to be the first to suffer when the flood came.
The flood control embankment in Luhua Town is about 20 kilometers long, but that is determined by the winding waterfront. Roads on land are cut and straightened, and the straight-line distance is far from that long. After about ten minutes, two cars
Stopped at a section of flood embankment.
Fan Hongyu got out of the car and strode onto the flood control embankment.
It rained all day yesterday, and the water level in the lake has risen. However, it has been dry for too long, and the water level has not yet submerged the bottom of the flood control embankment. Huge holes are clearly visible. It is still the same as Fan Hongyu saw before, without any change.
.
"Secretary Zhou, Mayor Lu, why are there still such long flood control embankments that have not been reinforced?"
Fan Hongyu frowned slightly and asked slowly.
"County Magistrate Fan, there is nothing we can do about it. The construction period set by the county is too tight. It only takes about twenty days. Such a long flood control embankment needs to be renovated. Twenty days is not enough. We have tried our best...
"
Zhou Ziqi pretended to be aggrieved and explained with a grimace.
"Do your best?"
Fan Hongyu laughed, with obvious sarcasm.
"Then what happened at the construction site just now? No one was seen. Is this how you try your best?"
"County Magistrate Fan, it rained yesterday and today, so we can't start work..."
Zhou Ziqi's answers became more and more fluent, and he had basically calmed down, restoring the "level" that a town party secretary should have.
"Is it raining now?"
Fan Hongyu raised his eyes and looked at the sky, which was blue.
Zhou Ziqi scratched his neck and said: "County Magistrate Fan, it's still raining in the morning. Construction sites usually start work in the morning. If it rains in the morning, workers will be given a day off."
"You are talking about the general situation. Is this the normal situation now? The rainy season has arrived. In the future, the rainfall will only become more and more intense. Under such circumstances, don't say that it will be sunny in the afternoon.
, even if it rains heavily, we still have to carry out construction in the rain. Time waits for no one, and we cannot afford to delay."
Fan Hongyu's tone finally became serious.
Zhou Ziqi immediately replied: "County Magistrate Fan, we can't do construction on rainy days. The concrete is wet and will disappear as soon as the rain washes it off. It cannot stick to stones and steel bars."
His tone gradually revealed a hint of toughness.
"Who said that? Chaoyang Farm and Shiyuan District are doing construction work in the rain. Just cover it with sacks, woven bags or linoleum. Secretary Zhou, is this the reason?
