The Zhujiang River flows in a zigzag shape to the lower reaches of the river, and the three places of Suyu, Donghua and Xucheng on the north bank form a zigzag layout of one south and two north.

It is said that Donghua and Xucheng are also a short section next to each other, but between the two places, the Huanghuai hilly belt is abruptly set up at the southern edge, forming the Huaiyuling mountain system with the highest peak of more than 1,000 meters above sea level and a depth of about 2,000 square kilometers in the central and eastern regions of Huaihai Province.

Donghua urban area and the main urban area of Xucheng, the straight-line distance is only 112 kilometers, but to the mountains in the middle, except for the township and county roads and winding mountain trails, there is no main road to communicate.

From the southern area of Huaihai Province through the 310 National Highway along the north bank of the Zhu River to build, from Donghua if there is anything to rush to Xucheng, or take the 310 National Highway from Suyu around the fastest.

Although it is a national highway, the road surface is not as open as the newly built Meihe Highway and Zhuxi Avenue in Meixi Town.

After passing through the city of Suyu, in the northeastern suburbs of Suyu, there are many building materials shops on both sides of the road, and the illegal buildings are about to be built on the curb, and the road is also full of vehicles, plus the pedestrians who cross the highway at will, so that this section of the secondary highway should be between 60 and 80 kilometers, Shao Zheng only dares to drive slowly at a speed of about 30 kilometers.

When crossing Yinan, there was a scraping car accident on the road, the road was blocked, the traffic department was fine and slow, it took an hour to pass, less than 200 kilometers away, it took six hours to arrive at Xucheng.

When the car arrived at the office in Xucheng and drove directly into the yard, Sun Yalin couldn't wait to get out of the car, complained about back pain, and complained:

"Huaihai's slow development is not without reason. You talk about it, 91 years began to plan to build Xudong Expressway, these three years have passed, have you seen the shadow? The plane is only one flight a week, and it is still far away from the city, except for my aunt and grandmother, I am not afraid of hard work, and other ghosts are willing to go to Donghua to invest and work......

Shen Huai took off his shoes in order to avoid his feet being swollen for too long in the car, and squatted down to tie his shoelaces first.

In various cities in Huaihai Province, many development plans have been done for a long time. As far as Donghua is concerned, not only the Xudong Expressway has long been planned, but also the eastern extension of the Xudong Railway, Dongpu Avenue and Xinpu Bay Seaport in Donghua City, which are connected to Xiapu County, are all drawing blueprints one after another, but in the end, it will take money to turn the blueprint into reality.

Shen Huai has seen the construction plan of the Xudong Expressway done by the provincial transportation department, the four-lane design, this plan for Donghua, can not be said to be optimal, because it has to go around from Suyu, the distance is too long, but after completion, it can still shorten the drive from Donghua to Xucheng to less than three hours, which is very important to link Donghua, Suyu and Xucheng more closely, develop the urban agglomeration on the north bank of the Zhujiang River, and promote the development of the industrial belt on the north bank of the Zhujiang River.

The project has also been approved by the Ministry of Communications and other ministries and commissions, and the preliminary work has been almost done, but in addition to the Ministry of Transportation, Xudong Expressway also needs to be specially pulled out by the local government for the construction of two billion yuan - the problem is stuck here: the province can squeeze a part, Xucheng can squeeze a part, but Suyu and Donghua can't get the share of the apportionment, so the whole project has not been settled until now.

Thinking of this, Shen Huai only sighed softly, tied his shoelaces, stood up straight, and comforted Sun Yalin and said: "Tian Jiageng has been promoting this work since he arrived in Huaihai Province, and asked the provincial government to come forward to raise all the construction funds, so that there will be no prevarication between the city and the city, and I think it should be able to officially start construction after the year." ”

"I hope that Tian Jiageng can do some practical things. Sun Yalin has been working in China for less than two years, and her temperament has been almost grinded, and she does not have too high expectations for the office efficiency of domestic officials, and she also knows that some things can be implemented quickly if the provincial party committee does not come forward to promote.

Like the Beijing Office, the Donghua Hotel, located on Dongjing Street, Dongcheng District, Xucheng, has a sign of the Donghua Hotel to the outside world, which is actually the location of the Donghua Office in Xucheng.

The Donghua Hotel in Xucheng is a mansion building left over from the Republic of China.

In addition to the four-storey building, which is also the main building of the official business to the public, the courtyard of the hotel, along the Yudai River, there are several new annexes in the 80s, which are circled together to form the whole Donghua Hotel.

The Donghua Hotel is hidden among the lush trees, and the building is quite old, gray and inconspicuous. The main building is not enough, several annexes along the river, mainly for the city leaders from Donghua to stay, are according to the standard layout of the star hotel, the environment and living conditions and catering or something, are quite good.

The districts and counties below Donghua, including large municipal enterprises such as the municipal steel mill, also have offices in Xucheng, some are also operational, and some are purely liaison offices, but most of them are not integrated with the city office.

After all, district and county leaders and figures like Gu Tong are also big men who cover the sky with one hand below, and no one wants to go to the provincial capital, but is under the nose of the city leaders at any time.

Only the Tangzha District Office in Xucheng occupies a three-storey annex building directly in the courtyard of the Donghua Hotel, and there are also restaurants and guest rooms inside, but it is not open to the public.

Shen Huai likes the quiet environment here surrounded by tall trees and facing the Yudai River, and he must stay overnight in the provincial capital, he likes to live here. It's a single building anyway, so you don't have to register in the main building to come in, and you won't alarm anyone in the city.

Shao Zheng accompanied Shen Huai a few times, and directly parked the car in the parking lot in front of the small building, Zhang Tuo, the person in charge of the district, saw it, pushed the door and came over to greet him: "It's so late, I thought that District Mayor Shen had something to delay, and you couldn't get to the provincial capital today......

"There was a traffic jam on the road and it was delayed for two hours. Shen Huai said.

It was damp and cold outside, Zhang Tuo pushed open the door and welcomed Shen Huai and them in.

Yang Yuquan was promoted to the deputy mayor of the city and Shen Huai was concurrently the deputy head of the district, but the procedures for the lack of the urban people's congress have not been completed, and they have not been officially announced. However, just like the news that Pan Shihua will be appointed as the secretary of the Tangzha District Party Committee, these things are naturally not a secret to Zhang Tuo, who was Yang Yuquan's secretary and had just been transferred to Xucheng.

Of course, Zhang Tuo can choose to go to the city with Yang Yuquan, but for Zhang Tuo, who is already thirty-five years old this year and has only been promoted to deputy department, it is quite embarrassing to go to the city with Yang Yuquan to develop at this time.

Yang Yuquan weighed it, and made a small move before leaving Tangzha District, and hung an extra sign of the investment promotion liaison office for the district office in Xucheng. Yang Yuquan tied the office in Xucheng with the investment promotion work, and sent Zhang Tuo to Xucheng to be responsible for the work of the office and liaison office, and at the same time served as the deputy director of the China Merchants Bureau. This is called Pan Shihua, even if he wants to interfere in the future, he will have to take care of Shen Huai, and he will not dare to kick Zhang Tuo away at will and replace him with his own people.

Pan Shihua was also very depressed, Yang Yuquan had not left Tangzha District yet, he could only watch Yang Yuquan engage in these small actions that were not conducive to him.

In the half month after Zhang Tuo was transferred to Xucheng, Pan Shihua went to Xucheng twice for meetings, both of which lived outside, and only if there was any official business, he would ask Zhang Tuo to do the charge d'affaires here.

This building was built in the style of the early 80's hall, three storeys high, the third floor is five high-end guest rooms, the second floor is the VIP room, the conference room and two private rooms, one large and one small, the ground floor is the foyer, office area and kitchen - antique style, seven staff including cooks, logistics waiters, are selected by Tangzha District, the waiters are also young and beautiful, from these details, it can also be seen that the domestic officials are very low on the surface, but the advantages are really not comparable to ordinary people.

This is also the root of the vast majority of people who would rather be the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix - the number one in the district and county, it seems that he is only a seven-grade sesame official, but except for a few days when he has to pretend to be a grandson in front of the provincial and municipal leaders, most of the time he is an uncle who is comfortable from head to toe, and those high-level officials in the provincial department and even the ministry have less time to be the uncle and more time to pretend to be a grandson - so many people say that there is no difference in essence whether it is the director, the director, or the mayor.

Sun Yalin was so tired that she refused to come out when she arrived at the room, and she was also responsible for contacting Yao Ronghua and others. After Shen Huai went to the room and washed his face first, he went downstairs with Shao Zheng to meet and talk with Zhang Tuo and the other six staff members to see how the dinner was prepared.

In addition to the Meixigang Industrial Park, Tangzha District does not have a development zone that can be used to attract investment. After Shen Huai served as the deputy head of the district, even if the work of attracting investment was not assigned to him, it would be difficult for others to carry out good work; even if they could carry out good work, it would mainly serve Meixi Port Industrial Park.

Shen Huai considered that in order to do a good job in attracting investment, the overseas offices of the district government, especially the foreign offices of important cities, are very important resources, and they should be used well, not only to serve the leaders of the district, but also to play a great role in project declaration, supervision, and liaison and holding of official and business activities.

Shen Huai talked to Zhang Tuo about some work in the liaison office in the office, and the time passed quickly, and the staff came to inform Li Gu and Yao Ronghua that they had arrived by car.

Shen Huai stood up, called out to Sun Yalin, and went downstairs to greet him together.

Yao Ronghua and Li Gu's car came in front and back, but Li Gu drove over by himself.

After Li Gu parked the car, Shen Huai and Yao Ronghua walked over to shake hands and said, "I'm really sorry, I, President Yao, have an appointment in advance, and it is also a rare opportunity to invite President Yao and President Zhang out, I don't want to miss the opportunity, so I can only ask Director Li to follow the grievances and come here to eat in a poor place together." I am inviting two guests at a table, and if there is any neglect, I would like to ask Director Li to take care of me......"

“…… It's a shame for you to say that," Li Gu smiled and said, "After I arrived in Huaihai, I met President Yao and President Zhang twice, but I haven't had a chance to eat with the two of them, and you have fulfilled the two of us." ”

Yao Ronghua also laughed; Zhang Jianhua, president of the provincial bank of China, whom Shen Huai asked Yao Ronghua to invite, also laughed and warmly shook hands with Li Gu.

At this time, two more cars drove in, the rear window of the car in front was open, Shen Huai saw the uncertain face of his "father" Song Bingsheng, and said with a smile to Yao Ronghua, Zhang Jianhua, and Li Gu: "My dad is also here, you have an appointment......" Just seeing Xie Zhi's cold, condensed cold face on the back car, Shen Huai couldn't help but tighten the chrysanthemum, and said secretly: Why did this mother-in-law come over?
