This time, Lu Rui's investigation did not involve a simple and easy way. Instead, he set up a serious battle. Naturally, the district and county leaders below also knew that the mayor was in urgent need of establishing his authority. Every time
Everyone is extra cautious, fearing that they will become the chicken that is killed to show to the monkeys.
After hearing what Zhang Haiyang said just now, Luo Dingyi and Qiao Zhiyong finally felt relieved.
"Director Zhang, thank you." Luo Dingyi took Zhang Haiyang's hand and expressed his gratitude.
Zhang Haiyang smiled slightly: "Then I won't waste your time. Mayor Lu is still waiting. Let's set off."
Luo Dingyi and Qiao Zhiyong turned around and got in the car to lead the way. Lu Rui's car naturally followed them and drove all the way to Qingtan County Government.
Lu Rui stayed in Qingtan County for a total of two days. In late spring and May, with the arrival of the warm air, the weather gradually became warmer, but Lu Rui's mood was not so happy. He did not just spend the past few days in Qingtan.
Instead of sitting in the office listening to the report, he went to the countryside with Qingtan County Magistrate Qiao Zhiyong to conduct research.
Walking on the path in the mountains, Lu Rui just smiled faintly and chatted with Qiao Zhiyong. Qiao Zhiyong was even ready. As long as Mayor Lu showed a little bit of intention to recruit him, he would do it.
He took the initiative to lean over and couldn't care about other things. If he didn't react at all, he might become a puppet county magistrate. Even if the mayor doesn't show any extraordinary strength now,
In Qiao Zhiyong's view, this is already his last life-saving straw. No matter what the result is, it is still much better than the current feeling of sitting around and waiting for death. What's more, Mayor Lu has achieved the position of department level before he was thirty years old.
There must be a very strong force behind him. If he relies on him now, it should be a timely help for Mayor Lu who has just arrived in Renqing City.
Walking on the road, Qiao Zhiyong kept talking, trying to arouse Lu Rui's interest, but surprisingly, Lu Rui didn't seem to have any intention of recruiting him. No matter what Qiao Zhiyong said, Lu Rui looked indifferent and showed no signs of it.
A slightly tempting gesture. Looking at Lu Rui's back, Qiao Zhiyong frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
The place everyone is going to go to today is a Hope Primary School in the poorest mountainous area of Qingtan County. Lu Rui chose this place when the county party secretary Luo Dingyi reported on his work. He also planned to give some secretaries and gifts to the students of Hope Primary School.
After all, Children's Day is coming soon. For these children in the mountains, it should be a very happy thing to receive a gift from the city.
Lu Rui didn't want to go to the countryside in a big way, so he just asked Qingtan County to send a few escorts, plus some of his own entourage, and set off together. Being able to go to the countryside with the mayor is a rare opportunity for grassroots cadres
Good opportunity. There was a fierce competition in Qingtan County. In the end, the county magistrate Qiao Zhiyong led several young cadres to accompany Lu Rui. Young people are more eager for progress and naturally hope to take this opportunity to get closer to the mayor.
close.
In the past, it was the same routine in several Hope Primary Schools, visiting classrooms, visiting teachers' teachings, talking cordially to students in a certain class, handing out gifts, and the Young Pioneers expressed their gratitude on behalf of all students. But when it came time to hand out the gifts,
I couldn't see the innocent smiling faces of the children at all. They were sitting upright one by one. After getting the wrapped books and gifts, they put them on the desk. They should have been arranged long ago. I guess the teachers have not allowed this or that.
Warned.
Lu Rui couldn't help but sigh. The higher one stands, the harder it is to understand the true face of this society. If one day he can stand at the pinnacle of power, will he no longer be able to enjoy sitting on the street?
How about the joy of eating food stalls? In other words, at that time, it was difficult for me to hear the real voice from the people. And this situation is the common sorrow of all those in high positions, not
It can be changed by issuing orders yourself or someone else.
Originally, this school was not in the plan, but after talking to several teachers from Hope Primary School, Lu Rui learned another news. There is a more remote Hope Primary School nearby, which is still three hours away from this place.
The person in charge of the Education Bureau suggested that it was getting late and we should go back to the county seat first.
Lu Rui didn't say anything, but asked Qiao Zhiyong next to him: "Do you know this Hope Primary School?"
Qiao Zhiyong nodded: "I've been there twice."
Lu Rui glanced at Qiao Zhiyong unexpectedly and said nothing. He just said lightly: "Then let's go. Anyone who wants to go back to the county can just go back by himself."
Everyone was dumbfounded. The mayor had said so. Who dared to go back? However, having to cross a large ravine in the middle of the night really made many people retreat. Fortunately, Zhang Haiyang was smart enough and saw most of the people.
He didn't want to go there so late, so he said to Lu Rui: "Mayor, I think it's too late. If we rush there now, we can only stay there for the night. Since County Magistrate Qiao has been there, we might as well streamline the team.
one time."
Qiao Zhiyong is also a smart man. He immediately reacted after hearing Zhang Haiyang's words and said quickly: "Yes, mayor, I have been there. There are only a dozen students in total, plus a young teacher, and there are only more than 20 households in the village.
People, if so many of us go there, we probably won’t be able to get enough rest. If some people have to sleep in the wilderness at night, it will cause too much trouble to the people, don’t you think?"
Lu Rui naturally knew what Zhang Haiyang and Qiao Zhiyong meant by singing a tune. He was not the kind of person who stuck to the rules. He thought about it and said: "In this case, all the comrades from the Propaganda Department should go back, and all the comrades from Qingtan County should also go back. Haiyang
Accompany me, Magistrate Zhiyong, just bring two comrades from the county bureau, everyone else should go back."
Hearing what Lu Rui said, many people breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if the mayor didn't nod, none of them would dare to leave. Walking on a mountain road for more than ten miles at night, they would probably have to lie down tiredly when they get there.
Of course, there are also people here who hope to share the joys and sorrows with the mayor and hope to get the mayor's attention at this time. However, Lu Rui has already agreed to Qiao Zhiyong and Zhang Haiyang's suggestions, so naturally others can't say anything.
By the time Lu Rui and others arrived at the Hope Primary School, it was already after seven o'clock in the evening, and the students had already finished school. Fortunately, they were in the village, and it was late spring and early summer, so it was dark time
It was relatively late. Although it was already past seven o'clock, the children had just finished school.
It's called Hope Elementary School, but it's actually very simple. Just like the elementary school where Lu Rui saw Zheng Xiuyan teaching, there was only one extremely dilapidated classroom, and there wasn't even a decent wall, let alone such luxury as electric lights.
Something.
"Who are you?" The small village is not big to begin with, and it is located deep in the mountains. It's okay for one or two strangers to appear occasionally. Now there are six or seven more outsiders, and it suddenly looks very strange.
Obviously, as soon as Lu Rui and others walked into the vicinity of the elementary school, someone stood up and asked.
Qiao Zhiyong walked in front and said loudly: "Is this Teacher Qin? I am Qiao Zhiyong."
"County Magistrate Qiao?" The man exclaimed, and then Lu Rui saw clearly that it was a young man in his twenties, sixty-seven years old, wearing glasses, and behind him stood a dozen children of different heights. Although these children
The clothes were very shabby, and some people were still wearing patches, but Lu Rui could tell that they must cherish these clothes.
"County Magistrate, why are you here?" The young man known as Teacher Qin asked again.
Lu Rui nodded secretly in his heart. It seemed that Qiao Zhiyong was not lying. He had really been to this elementary school before, otherwise the teacher would not have known him.
Qiao Zhiyong didn't know that his unintentional actions would add so many points to Lu Rui's heart today. Now he was thinking about how to arrange Mayor Lu as soon as possible, and said anxiously to Teacher Qin: "
Mayor Fu Lu of the municipal government is here to express condolences to everyone, can you ask the children to wait for a while?"
Teacher Qin was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't hear what Qiao Zhiyong said clearly. When he recovered, he looked at Lu Rui standing behind Qiao Zhiyong and asked in surprise: "The mayor has been replaced?"
Qiao Zhiyong's expression changed, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Mayor Lu burst into laughter and said, "Well, the mayor has been replaced. I was just transferred here not long ago. Teacher Xiao Qin, here are the books and books for the children."
Please let them receive the gift."
Teacher Qin was stunned when he heard Lu Rui's words. Looking at the pile of things carried on the shoulders and hands of Lu Rui and others, his eyes were slightly moist. He has been here for almost five years, except
The county magistrate Qiao Zhiyong came here twice, and Lu Rui was the highest-ranking official here, and he could see that even the mayor Lu Rui was carrying something in his hands.
"Children, the mayor has traveled dozens of miles to bring us gifts. Everyone is welcome." Teacher Qin turned his head and said to the children.
The children cheered and said thank you loudly to Lu Rui. Although it was not neat, it made Lu Rui very happy. He knew that he finally heard a real voice. Turning his head, Lu Rui said to Qiao Zhiyong
Said: "Give the things to the children. It's getting dark and let them go home early."
Accompanied by waves of "Thank you, uncle", the little guys left happily.
Lu Rui looked at their backs and said something that made Qiao Zhiyong's face change: "Formalism has been done so much, but it has not brought any changes here."
At that moment, after hearing these words, Teacher Qin suddenly felt that the new mayor seemed very different from the officials he had met before.
