After listening to Cheng Guodong's question, Li Tianyi pondered a little and said slowly: "Secretary Cheng, I think there are three main reasons for this situation:

The first is the human factor. I believe that it is very difficult to find officials like me in Liaoxi City and Baoyi County who understand both road and bridge expertise and economic development.

The second factor is the difficulty of the operation. Perhaps some officials have thought of my proposal before. However, this project is more difficult to operate, and it requires the coordination of all aspects. The most important thing is that investment funds are difficult to secure.

The third factor should be the consideration of political performance, after all, even if the project can really be operated, it will take three or five years for the entire project to be completed, and at this time, the person in charge of operating the project may have been transferred to another place.

No one wants to make a wedding dress for someone else for a project they have worked so hard to do. Moreover, such a project is still thankless, once there is a little accident in the middle, the operator also has to bear the relevant responsibility, it can be said that the risk of operating such a project is greater than the benefit.

Based on the above three considerations, there should be no one willing to come forward to operate the project themselves. ”

Cheng Guodong immediately asked: "Since you know that operating this project is thankless, why do you want to operate it?"

Li Tianyi smiled slightly and said, "Secretary Cheng." I am the secretary of the county party committee of Baoyi County, as a local parent official, I must consider the long-term development of Baoyi County, maybe the risk of operating this project is greater than the benefits, maybe I will fail to operate this project, but no matter what, in my opinion, even if there is a chance of success, as long as we can seriously operate this project, as long as we can get the support of the province, then I believe that once the whole project is successful, then it will benefit not only our Baoyi County, but also the entire Baiyun Province of Liaoxi City. If this project can really be successfully operated, then our Baoyi County will definitely become a major tourism county, a major logistics county, and a transportation hub connecting Qilu Province and Baiyun Province. At that time, maybe in the next one or two hundred years, the people of Baoyi County will benefit from this.

Compared with the long-term benefits that the people of Baoyi County can reap, what is the risk they take in front of them?"

After listening to Li Tianyi's words, Cheng Guodong's eyebrows raised upward. Seeing his father's expression, Cheng Shiqi became excited, because he knew that whenever his father showed this expression, it meant that his father agreed with Li Tianyi's opinion very much and highly appreciated it.

Cheng Guodong suddenly asked, "Li Tianyi, how do you plan to deal with the relationship between you and Zhang Menghan?"

As soon as Cheng Guodong said this, Cheng Shiqi's face immediately showed a look of worry, because he knew very well that Li Tianyi was more hesitant on Zhang Menghan's issue, and Cheng Shiqi didn't want to put too much pressure on Li Tianyi on this issue.

But he didn't expect that his father would bring up this question directly in front of the two of them.

At this moment, although Cheng Shiqi's mother was busy in the kitchen, he had been keeping his ears open to pay attention to the situation in the living room, and when he heard Cheng Guodong ask this sentence, he had stopped his work and silently waited for Li Tianyi's reply. Because he knows that Li Tianyi's reply is related to his daughter's lifelong happiness.

Although Cheng Guodong is the secretary of the provincial party committee, Cheng Shiqi's mother knows Li Tianyi's character very well, and he knows that Li Tianyi is a maverick. He will never change his work because of outside pressure.

Li Tianyi lowered his head and fell silent. He knew that at this moment, the three members of the Cheng family were all watching him, waiting for his answer.

He also knew that if he said that he couldn't break off with Zhang Menghan now, he would probably offend Cheng Guodong and cause Cheng Guodong's dissatisfaction. However, Li Tianyi is unwilling to go against his heart.

Therefore, after hesitating for a while, Li Tianyi said slowly: "Secretary Cheng, this is my personal emotional problem, and I hope to use time to deal with this problem." ”

Cheng Guodong nodded, Li Tianyi was able to give this answer, which was expected by him.

"Li Tianyi, do you like Cheng Shiqi?" Cheng Guodong asked suddenly. Cheng Shiqi's face immediately turned red at this moment.

Li Tianyi nodded without hesitation and said, "I like Cheng Shiqi, she is a good girl." ”

Cheng Guodong nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Li Tianyi, I heard that you are very good at chess, do you want to go to the next game." ”

Listening to my father say this, Cheng Shiqi's hanging heart was completely let go. She knew that her father's test of Li Tianyi was over, and although Li Tianyi did not completely satisfy her father, there was no problem in giving her a passing grade, otherwise, he would not invite Li Tianyi to play chess.

Li Tianyi smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then I'll ask Secretary Cheng for two dishes." ”

Chen Guodong said with a smile: "Okay, then let's go to the study." ”

While speaking, Cheng Guodong stood up and walked towards his study with Li Tianyi.

Came to the study, set up the chessboard, as the head cannon, the horse jumped, the battle situation opened, and suddenly on the chessboard, swords and swords, artillery fire.

Cheng Guodong is a chess master. He has been in politics for many years and has met many chess masters, but he has not tasted defeat. Even in the face of those professional chess players, Cheng Guodong did not give in much.

The reason why he just said that he heard that Li Tianyi played chess well was just an excuse. He just wanted to call Li Tianyi to the study and talk to Li Tianyi alone.

But he didn't expect that as soon as the battle started, the situation he thought he could win safely exceeded his expectations from the beginning.

As soon as he came up, Li Tianyi started with a fierce head shot, and Cheng Guodong jumped unhurriedly to deal with it.

After taking more than a dozen moves, Cheng Guodong's brows furrowed, because he noticed that when Li Tianyi played chess, his chess style was fierce and he dared to fight.

At the beginning, Cheng Guodong didn't care much. Without suffering a loss, he had a few sons with Li Tianyi. But soon after, Cheng Guodong regretted it a little, because he found that Li Tianyi and his son were not very blind, but had deep considerations later.

When the game reached the middle game, Cheng Guodong felt a burst of pressure coming from the chessboard. After several pairs, Cheng Guodong found that Li Tianyi's offensive not only did not slow down, but became more urgent.

Fortunately, Cheng Guodong is scheming and far-reaching. Although Li Tianyi continued to launch fierce attacks one after another, his defense was also leaky.

Between the fights and kills, the chess game entered the final game. By this time, the pace of chess between the two began to slow down, as they both knew that the fewer pieces there were, the deeper the layout that the opponent could take.

A full half hour passed, and the game was not decided.

Cheng Guodong put the chess pieces on the chessboard and said lightly: "This game can be regarded as a draw." ”

Li Tianyi nodded, his expression was very calm, he knew that Cheng Guodong must have something to say to him.

Chen Guodong said appreciatively: "Li Tianyi, your chess level is good, who did you learn from?"

Li Tianyi smiled bitterly and said, "When I was young, my father taught me. ”

Cheng Guodong couldn't help frowning and said, "Didn't you grow up in the countryside when you were young?"

Li Tianyi nodded and said, "That's right, I grew up in the countryside, and my father taught me at that time." ”

"Did your father teach you the endgame routine?" asked Cheng Guodong.

Li Tianyi nodded and said, "Sort of, my dad likes to play endgames, and he has to pull me to play games every time, and he plays a lot with him, and I know his routines." ”

"Are your parents okay now?" Cheng Guodong asked.

Hearing this, Li Tianyi's eyes were full of sadness, and he said with a faint sadness in his voice: "My father is gone." My mother was nowhere to be found when I was 13 years old. The only grandfather who was with me for my life was also gone. ”

After Li Tianyi finished speaking, Cheng Guodong was slightly moved. He didn't expect that Li Tianyi's life experience would be so tragic. And what really shocked him was that Li Tianyi, who grew up in such a situation, was able to have feelings for the country and the people. This fully shows that Li Tianyi's parents were successful in educating him when he was a child.

In fact, Cheng Guodong called Li Tianyi to the study alone today because he wanted to ask Li Tianyi a question, that is, what is the relationship between him and Hua Heng and Mrs. Zhong? And his entry point is Li Tianyi's parents, but he didn't expect that this question just hit Li Tianyi's pain point. Therefore, although he wanted to figure out some questions, seeing that Li Tianyi was in a heavy mood at the moment, Cheng Guodong hesitated, did not ask the questions he wanted, but looked at Li Tianyi and said, "Li Tianyi, let's go, it's time for us to go out to eat and try your aunt's craftsmanship." I can tell you, the food she cooks is something that I usually find difficult to eat, and today you came, and we followed it. ”

That night, Li Tianyi stayed at Cheng Guodong's house for dinner and drank two glasses of wine with Cheng Guodong. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Tianyi said goodbye and left.

Cheng Shiqi personally sent Li Tianyi out of the community. Standing at the door of the community, Chen Shiqi looked at Li Tianyi and asked, "My dad didn't tell you anything, right?"

Li Tianyi shook his head and said, "No." ”

Cheng Shiqi breathed a long sigh of relief, what he was most worried about was that his father didn't understand Li Tianyi's personality and talked nonsense, which made Li Tianyi dissatisfied with him.

The next morning. On the Standing Committee of Baiyun Province. Cheng Guodong, secretary of the provincial party committee, put forward Li Tianyi's suggestion.

In Cheng Guodong's view, Li Tianyi's proposal should not encounter much resistance, but he did not expect that not long after he put forward his opinion, three members of the Standing Committee stood up to oppose it.

Cheng Guodong couldn't help but be surprised. It's just two tunnels, so why is there so much resistance?
