Things were quite different from what Anping expected. The so-called negotiation between Bai Yaru and Ma Pengfei was just the old routine of applying for funds and getting kickbacks. As for whether the funds could be applied for as expected, Ma Pengfei did not guarantee. Now Ma Pengfei has become vague.
The words were evasive, and it was clear that the situation might have changed. Feeling uneasy, Anping and Bai Yaru no longer had the interest in a long night of sweetness and tenderness. After washing themselves up early, they went back to their rooms to rest.
"Anping, I called Ma Pengfei's home and office phone numbers. It is said that he went to the countryside for research and could not be contacted. It seems that he is going to let go..." After breakfast, Bai Yaru made a call.
The result was very bad. Ma Pengfei did not rush to the provincial capital as promised, and even people hid and refused to answer the phone. Bai Yaru intuitively told Bai Yaru that her previous efforts were probably in vain.
"What kind of thing is this? I came all the way here and didn't even meet anyone, so the matter is over? Even if it doesn't work, you have to give me a reason, give me something..." Although Ma Pengfei is a bit greedy,
, Dante is Ding, Mao is Mao, and he still strictly abides by official rules when doing things with money, so Anping has always had a good impression of Ma Pengfei. Only this time, Anping has a clearer understanding of Ma Pengfei's so-called rules.
, when you get money, you rush forward without losing a cent, but when something goes wrong, you don’t even say a word, and you run faster than anyone else. This is not a very authentic thing to do.
"Sister Ru, we are all here. No matter whether it works or not, we must meet Ma Pengcheng to find out what the problem is and whether there are other ways to solve it..." Everyone came and went back without saying a word.
, Anping is not willing to accept it. Moreover, the town is watching with eager eyes, and there are many people making irresponsible remarks. If they return without finding anything, it doesn't matter that they are just a soldier, but there is no way that someone will use the lead to launch an attack on Bai Yaru.
"Well, that's what I think too. It's such a pity that people came and gave up without doing anything. All roads lead to Rome, and we can't hang ourselves on a tree in Ma Pengcheng..." Anping's words came to a head.
In Yaru's heart, Bai Yaru also has a ruthless spirit that will not give up until the goal is achieved. It is this strong character that has been supporting her, otherwise she would not have allowed Qingjiang to apply for approval despite repeated setbacks.
But even though I felt wronged, I still wanted to ask Mayor Hong.
"Come on, let's wait at the gate of the Provincial Agricultural Committee. When we see Ma Pengcheng coming, we will stop him and try to get married. We must have an explanation..." If you want to find out the details, you have to finally get to the bottom of the matter.
Ma Pengcheng's head. He, Ma Pengfei, could hide in suburban counties, but his brother Ma Pengcheng could not hide. He was guarding the gate of the Agricultural Committee, in front of so many colleagues, and he could not shut out the folks from the countryside.
…
"Master, let's have a cigarette. Come on, keep this. Master, we are from a suburban county. We are fellow villagers of Ma Pengcheng. We were entrusted by someone to give him some local specialties, but I don't know Director Ma.
You have to help me point it out later..." Although they had made up their mind to block Ma Pengcheng at the gate of the Provincial Agricultural Committee, neither Bai Yaru nor Anping knew what Ma Pengcheng looked like, but it didn't matter.
When he arrived at the gate of the Agricultural Committee, Anping exchanged words with the guard, and without any explanation, he forced a pack of cigarettes into the other's hand.
"Sister Ru, the people are here, let's follow..." It was obvious that the guard of the big agency had seen too many things like Anping, who was courteous for nothing and was either raped or stolen. He smiled slightly and stuffed his cigarette without any hesitation.
There was not a polite word from the beginning to the end. When a cadre who was almost as ugly as Ma Pengfei came from a distance, the guard slightly raised his eyebrows at Anping. Anping immediately understood and greeted Bai Yaru and quickly greeted him.
"Hello, Director Ma, I am Bai Yaru from Suburban County. Director Pengfei has told me about you a lot. If I am on a business trip to the province, I will bring you some local specialties from my hometown..."
Being an official does not give gifts. This countryman is in the front, with a big bag of local products behind, and his younger brother Ma Pengfei is covering up. Everything for the sake of face has been done. Even if Ma Pengcheng is no longer willing to receive him, he still has to be polite.
A good face is the minimum respect for people. Ma Pengcheng was able to reach the position of leader of the Provincial Agricultural Committee, and he would not be so shallow as a person, and Anping just pinched this weakness of his.
"Oh, there are people coming from my hometown. Haha, I had some health problems during the Spring Festival this year. I didn't go back to my hometown to have a look. Instead, the folks missed me. I feel deeply guilty. Come on, come on, please come in, please come on in.
Please..." Sure enough, Ma Pengcheng's expression was slightly startled, and he immediately realized that the folks and the gifts of souvenirs were all fake, and the real thing was to build relationships and win the autumn breeze. It's just that there are people coming and going at the gate of this unit.
, if we don’t receive you warmly, your reputation will be ruined.
"Director Ma, I am Bai Yaru, the mayor of Longxing Town in suburban county, and this is my colleague Anping. We originally made an appointment with Director Pengfei to come to visit you, but Director Pengfei was temporarily delayed by something, so I took the liberty of saying
Come on, don't mind..." As soon as he entered the office, Ma Pengcheng arranged for someone to bring tea and water, and he was very enthusiastic. Bai Yaru was very polite. After the guests and hosts sat down, they directly identified themselves.
Bai Yaru knows that people like Ma Pengcheng who have the power to approve project funds are very powerful people in the city. If you don't actively strive for the initiative, he can go around endlessly, so he simply doesn't say hello in advance.
, I have done all the things that stopped people halfway. If Ma Pengcheng was small-minded, this bad impression would have been left long ago, and I am not afraid of giving him any more ideas, which will affect his future work.
"Oh, Longxing Town? I know. Pengfei mentioned to me that he sent me a few small watermelons grown in greenhouses before the Spring Festival. Hahaha, growing watermelons in a greenhouse is amazing. I see.
Longxing Town is vigorously developing the off-season vegetable planting industry and building a Qingjiang vegetable industry base. This is a very good idea..." When mentioning the vegetable industry in Longxing Town, Ma Pengcheng's expression was very excited, and his attitude was just like that of every wanderer outside.
, it’s the same thing to be excited when you suddenly hear about the good development in your hometown. But Anping keenly caught Ma Pengcheng’s brows slightly frowning unnaturally when he praised Longxing Town, and there was a bit of unhappiness in his dissociated eyes.
This made Anping's heart sink.
"Director Ma praised highly that the vegetable industry in Longxing Town can develop, but thanks to the strong support of you and Director Pengfei, the more than 20,000 villagers in Longxing Town are thinking of you. This time I
When you go on a business trip to the province, the villagers specially entrusted me to bring you some local specialties and goose feathers from thousands of miles away. It’s all out of the hearts of the people in my hometown..." Anping's heart sank, but Bai Yaru smiled, worrying about what to do.
When it came to the vegetable industry, Ma Pengcheng took the initiative to cooperate. He had to seize this opportunity. At that moment, he sang a hymn in a pretentious manner and pushed a bag of local specialties to the corner of Ma Pengcheng's table. The courtesy was light but the friendship was more important.
So it makes sense that everything of real weight has gone into Ma Pengfei's pocket, so it's impossible to stuff it here.
"I don't dare to take it. I don't take it. In this position, I can do my little bit for my hometown. It's not worth mentioning..." Although Ma Pengcheng waved his hands repeatedly to indicate that he did not dare to accept Bai Yaru's thanks, but the smile on his face
It is obviously much more real than before. Facts have proved that no matter how big the leader is, he is willing to listen to some flattering words, especially a beautiful and charming beauty who keeps complimenting her. Whether it is true or false, these words of praise come out,
It sounds so useful.
"I deserve it. I deserve it. You and Director Pengfei have contributed a lot to Longxing Town's help in laying a solid foundation for the industrial development of Longxing Town. But, Director Ma, you also know that the development of an industry requires a lot of effort."
Support from Fangfang. I heard that the province has established a vegetable basket project guidance office. We want to see if there are any suitable projects. You must support the development of your hometown..." First there was a high hat, then a song of praise, and the atmosphere was almost complete.
Only then did Bai Yaru mention the purpose of her trip, which was just right.
"Haha, Mayor Bai, actually I knew your plan as soon as you came here. It stands to reason that I am also from a suburban county and I will do my best to contribute to the development of my hometown. It is my duty to do so. I also informed my hometown through Pengfei before.
Our leaders should focus on the provincial ideas in industrial development. But there are some situations that you may not understand. After the Spring Festival holiday, just two days ago, our Provincial Agricultural Committee carried out organizational restructuring, and the vegetable basket office that I was originally responsible for was assigned to
The leaders in charge of the Industrial Office have also been adjusted. As the Development Office, I don’t have much contact with the Industrial Office, so I can’t be their boss. So, I really can’t help with this..." Speaking of organizational adjustments, Ma Pengcheng
His face suddenly became solemn. It happened suddenly. He didn't get any information about this organizational adjustment beforehand. Not only was the function of the vegetable basket office taken away, but a large part of the functions he developed were also cut off.
, it’s strange that he doesn’t feel angry.
More importantly, a deputy director of the Provincial Agricultural Committee is about to arrive soon, and this position is pending. The Development Office and the Industry Office have always been in a competitive relationship with each other. The functions of the Development Office have suddenly been reduced, while those of the Industry Office
The functions are suddenly increased. Is this a signal that the leaders are sending a signal to the industrial office? It is said that only those who are promising can get a position. Without achievements, where will the position come from?
It was for this reason that when he heard that Bai Yaru was from Longxing Town, a suburb of the county, he thought he was here to investigate. It is a taboo in officialdom to accept money without doing anything, not to mention that most of the kickbacks and benefits collected by Ma Pengfei were paid into the government.
With his pocket in hand, there can be no more rumors during this critical period. However, Ma Pengcheng soon realized that he was thinking too much. After talking to Bai Yaru in detail, he realized that Bai Yaru was simply here to apply for the project.
This made his unhappy thoughts quickly converge. Since there was no conflict between them, he might as well tell the truth about his difficulties and let the people in his hometown give up. This would also help his reputation. You must know that Ma Pengcheng cherishes it very much.
