A new week begins.

Shortly after I got to work on Monday morning, my phone rang.

Glancing at the caller ID, Chu Tianqi pressed the answer button: "Mayor, hello!"

Wang Yongxin's voice came from the mobile phone: "Vice Mayor Chu, Lao Yao of the Letters and Visits Bureau reported just now that someone is petitioning downstairs, it seems to be about urban construction, and he has been here many times." They had to meet with the city leaders and say that they would wait, otherwise they would go to petition above. You go and take a look, and we'll communicate if there is any problem. ”

"Okay, I'll take a look. After answering, Chu Tianqi put away his mobile phone and said to Chang Yuzhou, "It's just right, let's go down." ”

Closing the door, Chu Tianqi took Li Ziteng downstairs.

When Chu Tianqi came to the first floor, he saw more than 30 people on the platform outside the building, all of whom were sitting on the ground, and some of them even brought cushions. These people did not shout or make a fuss, but they blocked the traffic in front of the door. Standing next to these people were security guards, and Yao Chenggang, director of the Letters and Visits Office, was talking to them.

After observing for a while, Chu Tianqi gestured to Li Ziteng, and Li Ziteng immediately walked out.

Soon, Yao Chenggang followed Li Ziteng and came to Chu Tianqi and shouted: "Mayor Chu." ”

"What's going on?" asked Chu Tianqi.

Yao Chenggang said: "These people are all aborigines of Feitian Mansion and Sihai Commerce, according to them, after the house was demolished, they have not received enough compensation for demolition and relocation, and they have to come to the city government." I said let them go back first, and wait for us to understand the situation, but they disagreed, saying that they had to see the city leaders, and said. ”

After thinking for a while, Chu Tianqi walked out of the hall and went outside the building.

Seeing a few people coming out of the building, these people outside didn't care, glanced at them casually, and continued to bow their heads and chat.

Chu Tianqi spoke: "Fellow villagers, are you looking for city leaders?"

"Yes, how many times have I told you, hurry up and report to your leaders. The leaders sat in the house, the wind could not blow, the sun could not shine, but we were both wind and earth. "The speaker was a man of about sixty years of age, with a dark face and a beard.

"I'm the deputy mayor, so I'm here to find out. Chu Tianqi reported his identity.

"You?" the bearded man didn't believe it, "you don't have hair on your mouth, you can't do things well, and you are a little secretary at your age." We looked for a lot of places, but there was no one to talk to, but I didn't expect to come to the government, and I lied to people. ”

"You are clamoring for the city leaders, and now that I am here, you don't believe it. Chu Tianqi said, "Then I can't help it, I can go back now." ”

"This is Mayor Chu, and he is here for this matter. Yao Chenggang, who was beside him, took a step forward and interjected.

The bearded man looked at Chu Tianqi: "Mayor Chu?"

"Yes, yes, that young man is the mayor. That day the TV was on, and he was there when the garbage was cleared, and I remember that his surname was quite small, what was his surname?" A woman behind stood up and pointed at Chu Tianqi with her hand as she walked forward.

"Mayor Chu. Yao Chenggang took the stubble.

"Yes, yes. "I heard that he made the garbage in the city clear, but now the city doesn't stink." ”

Led by the woman, all the people rose from the ground, gathered around them, and said:

"The mayor, really?"

"You're not lying to us, are you?"

"Yes, yes, it seems to be. I glanced at the TV and remembered that the mayor was quite young. ”

"The official who can clean up people's garbage should not be bad. ”

"Mayor, you're going to call the shots for us. ”

Seeing the crowd swarming, Chu Tianqi said, "Don't be so messy, let's come one by one if there is anything." So, choose five people to be representatives, follow me upstairs, let's go into the room and talk slowly. ”

"Let's just say it here, we are all ordinary people, but we are not afraid of this windy land. ”

"That is, what can't be said? A few words, it depends on whether you want to solve it or not. ”

"Don't arrest the leader. ”

Chu Tianqi said loudly: "The purpose of electing deputies and sitting in the room is to explain things clearly, to facilitate records, and to find information. Someone just said that you are not afraid of the wind and the soil, and of course I am not afraid. I'm not afraid of such stinky garbage, but I can be afraid of this? As for people saying that they are arresting people, it is even more of a joke, so why should I arrest you? I, a deputy mayor, will not show up specifically to arrest people, right?"

"This mayor is right, right. The bearded man said, "Let's choose five people." ”

When they said this, they stopped making loud noises, but gathered themselves into a heap and discussed in whispers. It didn't take long for five people led by the bearded man to come out.

The five representatives followed Chu Tianqi and the others into the building. The rest of the people no longer sat on the platform outside the building for the time being, but all gathered on the west side of the building, standing there talking and laughing, and the traffic in front of the door resumed.

Come to the small conference room on the sixth floor, and the two sides will sit in the north and south. Chu Tianqi, Yao Chenggang, and Li Ziteng are on one side, and the other five representatives are on one side.

Chu Tianqi spoke first: "Fellow villagers, since we can sit together, it is to solve the problem. So when you talk for a while, come one by one, don't swarm and don't repeat one thing all the time. I ask you which project you are all here for. ”

"I'll tell you. The beard pointed to a man and a woman on the right, "We are all because of the Flying Tower." Then he pointed to the two men on the left, "The two of them are because of the four seas trade, and the group downstairs is basically half and half." ”

Chu Tianqi asked: "Then who will introduce the situation, what is going on?"

"I'll tell you, if there's anything you can't say clearly, someone else will add it. "My name is Zheng Dali, I am a retiree of the Municipal Economic and Trade Commission, and I used to be the director of the office of the unit. The house we used to live in is where we are building now. More than two years ago, the government said that it would build this flying building, saying that once this office building is built, it will be able to attract foreign investment and promote local economic development. At that time, our house had just been renovated, and the property owner was the Economic and Trade Commission, and the right to use it belonged to us, the residents. We had never encountered this kind of thing before, and it was the government that came forward and said that the demolition cost was also appropriate, so we agreed. The leaders of the Economic and Trade Commission are more willing to help the government do our work, saying that there is a unit for everything.

At that time, it was very good, a part of the money was given first, and the individual and the unit were divided first, and the rest was said to be paid off within a year. If the children have a house, they go to find the children, and those who have no house have rented the house, and this matter has long been clamoured, and the people are prepared. The other residents are in the same situation as us, but the units are different, and the same is true of the original residents of Sihai Commerce.

However, when it came to the end of the year, we didn't get any more money at all, so we looked for a unit, and the director of the Economic and Trade Commission had already changed, so naturally we didn't admit what the original leader had said. We went to the relevant departments again, but the demolition department that was established at zero time had already been disbanded. At the beginning, people were still thinking that if they really couldn't do it, they would go to the construction site to stop the construction. However, this project was quite crowded except for the demolition and relocation, and it was stopped for a few days since the construction began, and when it was just over a year, the work was completely stopped, and it was obviously not feasible to stop the construction. Later, we went to the city government, and finally met the deputy mayor, who said very well, but he didn't do anything, and he kept dragging it out.

At the beginning of this year, the Economic and Trade Commission gave it to the National Development and Reform Commission, and we had no choice but to go to the National Development and Reform Commission. We also thought of going through legal means, but when we asked a lawyer, it had to be the property owner. The names of the households on our houses are all units, and the units do not come forward, and legal means will not work. In desperation, we looked for the government again, but the deputy mayor often couldn't find it, and when we looked for it, he was already transferred, and then the mayor died, and even no one could be found. A few days ago, I learned that a new leader had arrived, and only then did I come to reflect the situation. ”

After Zheng Dali finished speaking, the others added some more, basically saying the same.

Seeing that the people were almost finished, Chu Tianqi spoke: "I understand, the reason why you came to the city government is because the house was demolished but you didn't get enough money. Moreover, the owner of the house is the original unit, some units are reluctant to come forward, and some of the original units no longer exist. Isn't that right?"

"Yes, yes. All five responded.

Chu Tianqi said: "I have only been in charge of this work for a month, and I didn't know about this matter you said before, but today is the first time I have heard of it." I have to understand in detail how to deal with this matter, and I also have to report to the leaders above to come up with a specific solution. If you see if this will work, you should go back first, and then inform you when the city comes up with a specific plan. Okay, okay?"

"The city leaders said the same thing before, don't they say it every time?" someone accosted, "If you come again, you won't even be able to find anyone." Since you are the mayor, then you give us a quasi-word when you can give the money. If we don't solve it, we won't go back, we just wait. Otherwise, we will go to the province to petition. ”

"Yes, yes. Others followed.

"Since this matter has dragged on for so long, it is naturally not something that can be solved in one sentence. Not to mention me, the deputy mayor, even the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor cannot give a solution at once, let alone solve this matter immediately. Director Zheng has been the director of the office before, and several of you were also elected by everyone, so you should naturally be very sensible. You must understand that everything has to be processed, there has to be a process, especially this kind of legacy thing, because of the change of time, the change of personnel, it will definitely be more time-consuming. Since the city government asked me to come forward, it means that it attaches great importance to this matter and will actively think of a way. Chu Tianqi paused, "I've already said it thoroughly, if you insist on waiting here, I can't help it, but I can't just spend it with everyone, I have other things to do." ”

Hearing the other party's words that were neither soft nor hard, the five of them looked at each other, and then stuck in a pile and muttered a few words. In the end, Zheng Dali said: "Mayor Chu was able to receive us in person today, and we are very grateful. Although I haven't seen Mayor Chu before, since you were in charge of urban construction, the city's sanitation and appearance have changed for the better, especially the attitude of relevant departments has been much more positive. This shows that Mayor Chu is a good official, an official who does practical things, and having a leader like you is a blessing for our people. ”

Being praised like this in person, Chu Tianqi was a little embarrassed, and said modestly: "Thank you for your praise, I haven't done enough, I must work harder in the future." ”

"We can trust you, and we will look for you in the future. Zheng Dali smiled, "If you always come to look for it, it will disturb your work too much, can you leave us a call?"

No wonder the other party said so many New Year's greetings, it turned out that he was waiting here, this Zheng Dali looked very rough, and it turned out to be quite cunning. Now that the other party has used his words, Chu Tianqi is somewhat uncomfortable, but after all, he is an ordinary person, not a government official, and Chu Tianqi is inconvenient to care. So, he said: "I can leave you a phone number, and I will leave Xiao Li's number to you." Is that okay?"

"Yes, yes. The mayor is so busy with work every day, and he is in a meeting and on a business trip, we call your secretary. As he spoke, Zheng Dali handed the pen and paper to Li Ziteng.

Li Ziteng took the other party's paper and pen and wrote a fixed number on it.

Looking at the string of numbers on the paper, Zheng Dali and the others said goodbye and went downstairs.

Yao Chenggang and Li Ziteng followed the five of them downstairs together.

Chu Tianqi returned to his office.
