Seeing Zhang Zhengdong looking at him with a trace of doubt, Liu Siyuan explained slowly: "Since Mayor Ling proposed it, I think it is better to let the municipal government and the municipal bureaus under its jurisdiction take the lead in relocation. Since Secretary Zhang thinks
If that’s not appropriate, then we, the Municipal Party Committee and all departments of the Municipal Party Committee, should continue to work in the old city.”
Zhang Zhengdong said without hesitation: "The municipal party committee and government, as well as the various bureaus below, have very frequent work contacts. Such one-stop work makes it even more difficult to carry out work. I think this approach is very inappropriate..."
Liu Siyuan did not take it seriously and said: "Secretary Zhang's opinion is completely correct. I also think that there may be some negative effects in a short period of time due to communication problems with each other. However, I do think that in the long run, this will not affect Mayor Ling."
Realizing a problem, in fact, the development of new cities is still inseparable from the transition of old cities. The relationship between new and old cities is inextricably linked. It is unrealistic to build a new city out of thin air and completely abandon the old city overnight. Then Mayor Ling will
Understand what Secretary Zhang said about transportation first, which is the top priority in current construction!"
Zhang Zhengdong's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this. Focusing on transportation construction and relying on the gradual transition of the old city has always been his new city development concept. Liu Siyuan's move is really beautiful. No matter how much he says, it is not as straightforward as letting someone experience it himself!
What's more, Liu Siyuan's move was not only ruthless, but also because he was using conspiracy, even if Ling Yuntian could see his purpose at a glance, he wouldn't be able to say no. Yes, if you proposed the relocation yourself, of course your municipal government should take the lead, why?
reject?
It has to be said that after seeing each other for three days, Zhang Zhengdong was very satisfied and patted his shoulder with admiration.
Hou Xiaobo was randomly thrown into a cell with a bunk floor, and was locked up with some thieves and robbers. He looked extremely embarrassed. He had been cursing before, but now his throat was burning and he couldn't curse anymore.
He looked around, and when those guys saw his thin skin and tender flesh, they couldn't help but click their tongues a few times. Goosebumps suddenly appeared on the eldest son's skin. Then he began to feel uneasy...
Zhang Hongtao rushed to the Public Security Bureau immediately and called the 'culprit' Gu Tianming over to ask about the situation. The latter was also unambiguous and talked about it in a pariah manner. Anyway, it was Hou Xiaobo who committed the murder in public, including Ling Ling.
Several city government staff, including the mayor, saw it!
With such clear facts, there is really not much to say. It is not easy for Zhang Hongtao to criticize him in person. How to criticize him? Do you mean that you should just watch Hou Xiaobo commit the crime without arresting anyone? Even if he is the director of public security and Gu Tianming’s immediate boss, he can’t.
What a disgraceful thing to say.
Zhang Hongtao then went to the detention center to have a look in person. When he looked at Hou Xiaobo who was thrown into the street like garbage with a sad face, he struggled in his heart for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth and called his best friend, Deputy Director Fu Jian, to come and take care of him:
"Choose a place for him and entertain him with delicious food and drink."
Of course Fu Jian also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he weakly asked: "Zhang Ju, won't you let him go?"
Zhang Hongtao's face was livid and he asked: "How to release it?!"
Fu Jian scratched his head and quickly followed the order in despair.
At this time, Zhang Zhengdong and Liu Siyuan were walking with their secretary, and they happened to arrive at the entrance of an ordinary snack shop. The owner was a woman in her fifties. She was selling some snacks from her while shouting.
Zhang Zhengdong suddenly suggested: "Siyuan, let's talk to this shop owner."
Liu Siyuan also chuckled and said, "Okay, Secretary Zhang, will you ask in person or should I?"
Zhang Zhengdong thought for a while and smiled. He said with a rare self-deprecation: "Forget it, we two are too official. Let them go..."
Then he pointed at the two secretaries who were chatting happily about five meters behind them.
Dong Risheng, Zhang Zhengdong's secretary, has thick eyebrows and big eyes. Although he is not very handsome, he looks very comfortable and lovable. When the leader called, he and Shi Yang rushed over.
Zhang Zhengdong simply explained the 'task', which probably meant that the two of them should talk to the lady and learn more about the actual situation of self-employed people, which would serve as a reference for the subsequent work of the municipal party committee and government.
Secretaries all have a delicate heart, and they don’t need any guidance from their two leaders on how to strike up a conversation. Then they saw Dong Risheng, the first secretary of Beiyang, who had received the task, walking to the snack shop with a smile on his face.
First, he bought the aunt a total of ten buns in one go, and then he and Shi Yang ate them one by one. The latter expressed sincerely that they were really delicious and he was good-looking, which made the aunt smile.
It didn't take long for them to successfully strike up a conversation with the aunt selling snacks. Dong Risheng's first question was: "Auntie, how is business lately?"
The aunt smiled and said: "It's not bad, business is best before 7:30 every morning, and office workers come to buy breakfast. Retired people usually get up earlier. After that time, there are fewer people coming to buy breakfast.
There are a lot of them, only those young people who have no jobs are left. They usually sleep in until nine or ten o'clock, which is considered early. Some of them bought two buns and took them back for lunch..."
Zhang Zhengdong and Liu Siyuan looked at each other and both showed a hint of interest. Urban unemployment rate is also a very important indicator. As expected, Dong Risheng also understood and did not disappoint them. He asked without hesitation: "Auntie, those young people who have no job."
Is it too much?"
The aunt thought for a while and said: "It's not too many, but there are always some. Some really can't find a job, and some don't want to work. In popular words, they are just eating their old age."
Dong Risheng said as if he suddenly realized something, and then said with a serious look: "Why don't you, young people must have ideals, how can they stay at home and eat their parents' food all day long, do you think this is right..."
The aunt also sighed: "That's right, I have a few young people here who eat my steamed buns for three meals a day. After chatting with them, I found out what ideals they want to pursue. They live by writing online novels, but their income is only
Enough to eat steamed buns every meal..."
After Dong Risheng had finished chatting, Shi Yang spoke up. He asked a very sharp question: "Auntie, when you sell steamed buns here, do you think both the underworld and the white people have to deal with it?"
Even Zhang Zhengdong and Liu Siyuan couldn't help but change their expressions as soon as this question came up. The aunt was also stunned by his question, and then lowered her voice and said: "Young man, what do we say in Beiyang? It is very special. It is said that there is a gangster, but
They never cause trouble. Even if I tell you, in the early days, there were occasionally a few hooligans who came to ask for protection money. Later, after I heard someone introduce me and got to know the people of Juyitang, those hooligans never dared to come here again.
"
Shi Yang said without hesitation: "That's not to change the medicine without changing the soup. The people in Juyitang also have to charge you protection fees to suppress the little gangsters for you..."
The aunt said without hesitation: "Nonsense, Juyitang never charges money. As long as local people come to them, they will consciously come out to protect businessmen from other places. They will ignore them and let them fend for themselves."
So we locals all like people from Juyitang. Besides, in recent years, they have been doing business to make money..."
Shi Yang also suddenly realized it and said casually: "Oh, then it's quite satisfying for you to sell buns here."
Unexpectedly, the aunt sighed and said: "It's not as good as you think. You don't have to worry about the underworld, but there are always people from relevant departments who come to get some benefits under various names. Today this person comes to charge this fee, and tomorrow that person comes
I came here to ask about the tax. It was very difficult to deal with. They ate the buns as soon as they got them and never gave me any money..."
After hearing this, Liu Siyuan's face changed slightly, but when he looked at Zhang Zhengdong, he found that the latter was actually calm and had an expected expression.
Then the two secretaries chatted with the aunt for a while. After about five minutes, Zhang Zhengdong nodded to him. Liu Siyuan understood what he meant. He had asked all the questions and could leave.
Liu Siyuan followed him closely, and after walking for a while, Zhang Zhengdong started the conversation and said: "Siyuan, I believe you must have heard a statement that the differences between Mayor Ling and I mainly lie in the construction planning of the new city."
Liu Siyuan said honestly: "It is true."
Zhang Zhengdong said calmly: "This statement is either right or wrong. Mayor Ling and I do have some different ideas on the construction of the new city. This is true, but this is our main difference, but it is far from clear.
It’s impossible to talk about it. After all, we just have different views on the process and steps. Mayor Ling and I have no objection to the ultimate goal, so this has never been a matter of principle.”
Liu Siyuan was also a little surprised to hear him talk about the differences between the first and second leaders so frankly, and then Zhang Zhengdong continued: "Actually, the biggest difference in philosophy between Mayor Ling and I is what you just saw... our views on Beiyang City
The so-called four major families have very different opinions on how to deal with it, and this is the core issue."
Liu Siyuan pondered for a while and said: "Secretary Zhang's attitude is..."
Zhang Zhengdong waved his hand, not much, but with strong determination, and said coldly: "The family power has been entrenched in Beiyang for many years, and it has become the biggest cancer in Beiyang City. My personal greatest wish is that during my term of office
Perform an operation on Beiyang to completely remove this tumor! What makes me very disappointed is that Mayor Ling's attitude towards this is still very conservative, 'It is better to remove the tumor than to block it'..."
Liu Siyuan somewhat understood. Secretary Zhang had obviously known about the problem in Beiyang for a long time. Today he took this opportunity to let him see clearly. Thinking about it again, he could also guard against Zhang Zhengdong's eagerness. Can this municipal party secretary do something good?
His achievements will play a decisive role in his future career!
Zhang Zhengdong sighed deeply, then patted him hard on the shoulder, raised his head, pointed at the scorching sun hanging in the sky and said: "Siyuan, why is it that it is a sunny and good day today, but I feel as if I am walking on the endless sky?"
In the dark night, it’s so dark that you can’t see anything with your hands!”
Liu Siyuan was stunned, and then took a deep breath. He also knew that he must express his position today. There was no need to think too much about this. There was nothing unshakable in his position. He said seriously every word: "Secretary Zhang
Don't worry, there will always be a day when the clouds will clear and the sun will rise. I hope that in the near future, I will be lucky enough to accompany Secretary Zhang for a walk in the bright sunshine."
