Jin Jiang International Hotel is a newly established five-star high-end hotel in Pennsylvania. The price is staggeringly high. With Anping's character and extremely difficult situation, there is no way he would be able to spend so much extravagant money here. In order to successfully take over the wide highway connecting the outside world, Anping still reluctantly asked Concubine Xiao to book a banquet here to entertain Shen Huaibing, deputy director of the Provincial Department of Transportation.
Last night, Chen Zichuan took Anping to visit the former executive deputy governor of Beijiang Province, Liao Lao. He then helped contact Director Shen. Shen Huaibing was the cadre promoted by Mr. Lao when he was the director of the Department of Transportation and was in charge of Beijiang Province. Basic highway planning, road and bridge design and highway transportation are very wide. It is adjacent to the border and there are many tidal flats and swamps. If the road is built, it can only be built on the side of a national defense highway. It belongs to the basic highway category and is in charge of the regulations. Director Shen
Director Shen was very dignified and did not put on any pretense as a department official. The clock was still a few ticks shy of six o'clock and he appeared outside the private room holding Anping's hand. He was young, promising and a heroic boy, and he couldn't stop boasting. Director Shen was very talkative and funny. Not only did he give An Ping a face, but Li Mingli and Xiao Fei, the deputy county magistrate who accompanied them to the banquet, both thought that Director Shen gave people a feeling of spring breeze, which flattered the two of them.
You must know that Shi Kuan, as a cadre in a national-level poverty-stricken county, Li Mingli, Xiao Fei, etc., have been going to various departments in the province to ask for money all year round, let alone a leader with such a prominent position as the deputy director of the Department of Transportation, he is a department head from the Department of Transportation and Energy. Chief, Director, you are so condescending and laughing with others that they might not even look at them seriously.
After three drinks and five dishes, the wine was almost gone and the atmosphere was almost brewing. The unfamiliarity between Director Shen and Director Shen gradually disappeared little by little. Anping brought up the matter of the Shikuan Highway Project. Director Shen gently Putting down his chopsticks, he sighed and replied: "The elders and leaders of An County said hello. It stands to reason that I should be obligated, but I really can't handle this matter. It's true that the Department of Transportation is in charge of highway construction, but the Department of Transportation is an executive department. Road construction is not transportation." The department can build whatever road it wants to build. The planning committee’s project approval process for leaders to review and approve financial allocations is very tight. Now that the province’s finances are tight and the budget is tight, it would be difficult to add a grade highway out of thin air outside the budget..." [
As soon as Anping mentioned the highway matter, Li Mingli and Xiao Fei looked eagerly at Director Shen and observed his expression carefully. But after waiting for a long time, the result was still the same. The two of them were so happy that Anping invited Director Shen to the banquet. They glanced at each other quietly and saw disappointment on each other's faces. Then they turned their gazes to Anping together, and a thought came into their hearts. Anping didn't seem to be as smart as he appeared.
"Uh..." I thought that Mr. Shen would come out to say hello, and Director Shen would attend the banquet in person. He would keep his attitude very low, talk, laugh, eat and drink, not to mention the road construction thing, and take it all in. If he promised, at least he wouldn't block the road all at once, but he just did it. Anping's brows furrowed slightly. There was no doubt that Director Shen was not as loyal as Mr. Lin said. Mr. Lin regarded him as a confidant, but he did. Playing tricks on others, coming to the banquet in person, deliberately creating a modest face, but it's all hypocrisy.
However, since Director Shen is here, it means that he still has some scruples in his heart towards Mr. He and dares not to really break up with him. Even if his demands are too much, he will not be able to lose face and get angry when he sees Mr. He's face, so Anping Director Shen didn’t intend to let this person go just like that. Looking at Director Shen’s fake and disgusting face, he said in a deep voice: “Director Shen, you are the leader of the Department of Transportation and an expert on roads and bridges in the province. In some aspects, If you have more say, please see if you can help us communicate..."
"Is this..." Having said it so clearly, Anping could still be so nonchalant and unyielding. This disrespectful behavior made Director Shen's face flash with a trace of displeasure. If it weren't for the fact that the city government was deep and thick-skinned, it would be a bit " If you can't understand the depth of Anping, I'm afraid he won't even be interested in explaining it and just walk away.
However, it was Anping's lack of interest that made Director Shen confused for a moment about Anping's depth. He secretly looked at Anping up and down for a while, but in the end, he did not show his displeasure towards Anping and took a step back. Said: "Well, you go to the Provincial Planning Commission and go to the Provincial Planning Commission to open up the joints. If the Planning Commission can establish an item, I will find a way to submit the report to the provincial leaders. However, this matter is very difficult, so don't you. I had too much hope..."
"Anyway, I'm sorry for the trouble, Director Shen. I'd like to thank Director Shen once again for taking the time to guide Shi Kuan's work. I'd like to toast you again..." Although his tone softened a step, there was no big difference in the result. Anping was a little disappointed. However, when Director Shen was sitting in the Transportation Department's seat and it was not time to fall out with him, Anping still raised his glass to express his gratitude again.
The matter didn't work out. Director Shen obviously felt that Anping's enthusiasm was not as enthusiastic as it was at first. Instead of sitting here in embarrassment, it would be better to save each other's face. So Director Shen sat there for a while and then found an excuse to leave in a hurry. Went to a banquet to enjoy the fun, but came back disappointed and the meal was a bit anticlimactic with a heavy heart.
However, it was not that it had no effect at all. Director Shen’s answer still made Anping clearly see the result. The possibility of running the highway project through the Department of Transportation through normal procedures was almost gone. Moreover, Director Shen’s words also made Anping With a new idea, the key to determining whether a highway project can be launched seems to be with the Provincial Planning Commission. Is it possible to open up the relationship between the Provincial Planning Commission and this project will be smoothed out?
Anping re-clarified its direction and adjusted its strategy. Early the next morning, he took Concubine Xiao and Secretary Zhu to the Provincial Planning Commission. Li Mingli had already taken several comrades from the County Transportation Bureau back to Shikuan overnight to accompany Anping here. After staying for four or five days, his patience had long since worn out. Director Shen's words of little hope made him stop thinking about applying for a highway. Anping's lukewarm attitude may have long ago branded Anping as a braggadocio.
According to Li Mingli's idea, Concubine Xiao will also return to the Shikuan project application team with him and disband. If Anping wants to do it, let him do it alone. There is no need to waste resources in the province and waste Shikuan. People who are not rich are eating horses. It's all about money. Li Mingli is a different kind among Shi Kuan's leading cadres. Others form gangs and seek profit. He is the first to put money into his pockets. Only Li Mingli strictly adheres to the last bottom line of being an official. Shi Kuan's reputation has always been very good.
Of course, a good reputation does not mean that it is as clear as water. You should receive the filial piety you deserve and receive the kickbacks you should receive. You must also take the water to be clear. The fisherman is the principle of inspecting the disciples. Li Mingli also has a clear door. However, most of Li Mingli's thoughts are still on At work, when I was in charge of culture, education and health, I visited every elementary school and every rural clinic in Shikuan. Although it was not a big deal and there was nothing to praise or cry about, it was already commendable for the leadership of Shikuan with its floating style.
However, Li Mingli's suggestion was not approved by Concubine Xiao. After comprehensive weighing, Concubine Xiao felt that Anping would not be in decline. It would be a pity if she lost the opportunity to make good friends with Anping because she left. So Concubine Xiao used one sentence. If he tried harder to see the situation, he would put Li Mingli off.
As an important component of the "government", the Provincial Planning Commission has assumed the important responsibility of the "government" planning, regulation, planning and development. It has always been close to the provincial "government". When Anping rushed to the provincial "government", he saw the majestic office in the distance. There is a huge national emblem hanging on the top of the building, which is extremely majestic and solemn. Looking up at it makes people feel a sense of coercion, and the solemn and sacred aura rushes towards them.
The armed soldiers on duty at the gate reviewed the work certificates, ID cards and letters of introduction of several people in Anping and waved them through. Anping was used to meeting provincial and ministerial leaders and did not realize that there was something mysterious about the provincial "government", but Concubine Xiao and Zhu The secretary is not good. Concubine Xiao is better off. She has been running funds in the province for many years and often contacts the provincial "government". Although this is the first time she has walked in, she is a little cautious but she has not lost her sense of proportion. Secretary Zhu has been sitting in the county. The cold bench had never even been to the provincial capital a few times, and he suddenly entered the power center of Beijiang Province with a pilgrim-like look on his face, full of excitement.
Entering the guard room on the first floor of the provincial government's office building, two guards wearing police uniforms but without police hats rushed out and blocked the way. I guess the people in Anping were young and unfamiliar, and they carefully checked the face of the leader. The cold guard took Anping's work permit and looked at Anping up and down over and over again. The look in his eyes and the inadvertent twitching of the corners of his mouth showed his suspicion of Anping, and he even muttered questions. : "It is rare to see a deputy county magistrate as young as the deputy magistrate..."
The security guard was very serious about his work, and he was a bit confused as to whether Anping, the deputy county magistrate, was real or fake. He was holding on to his work permit and letter of introduction, hesitating and wondering whether to report it to the leader. At this moment, the door of the hall was blocked by a secretary-looking person. He turned sideways and then a tall and powerful leader with fair hair walked in. The two guards immediately stood upright with their hands hanging down and raised their hands in salute with serious faces.
"Well Anping, you are Anping..." Seeing the guard saluting, the leader nodded slightly in return with a humble and kind attitude. Suddenly he saw Anping standing next to the guard at his feet and couldn't help but ask Anping for confirmation with some uncertainty.
