Although Chu Tianqi was angry, he really wanted to go into the house and smash the bridge of that guy's nose with one punch. But reason told him that "if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan", and now the top priority is to get the cement, and other things can be discussed in the long run. So, he put down his fist and walked quickly out of the office building of the Material Bureau.

Chu Tianqi didn't have lunch with Lei Peng as originally expected, but just called him and went to a small restaurant with Xiao Meng. After eating, the two sat in the 212 car, opened the window, and leaned on the back of the chair for more than an hour.

……

Just after two o'clock in the afternoon, the township 212 car arrived at the material bureau. The old janitor has changed shifts, and the current janitor is a young man in his twenties. Chu Tianqi had only seen this young doorman once before, and he was not familiar with him, so the doorman did not let him go directly, but checked them before letting them go.

After the car was parked in the courtyard, Chu Tianqi got out of the car and entered the office building of the Materials Bureau. He went straight to the head of the materials section's room, knocked on the door, and knocked three times, but no one answered. He knocked on the door of the office of the materials department next to him, but no one answered. He knew they hadn't gone to work yet, so he waited in the hallway.

At three o'clock, the glasses man from the materials department came, he glanced at Chu Tianqi and did not answer. Chu Tianqi didn't pay attention to him, knowing that he couldn't ask him why, and he might be reprimanded by him, so why bother?

Almost all the offices on the first floor are occupied, at least there are people who go to work, only the office of the head of the material section is still locked tightly.

Chu Tianqi also went to the director's office, but there was also the "Iron General Gate" - no one. I finally met a deputy director, who was a deputy section cadre and knew himself, a celebrity in the county, so he was very enthusiastic to sit down and pour water to smoke. It's just that the deputy director said that he is only in charge of some retreat work such as trade unions and cultural construction, and the director of the bureau is directly responsible for the real power departments such as the material department. Chu Tianqi had to quickly finish a cigarette, expressed his gratitude to the deputy director, and continued to wait outside the door of the head of the material section.

It was already five o'clock, and Chu Tianqi had been in the corridor for nearly three hours, and he was very uncomfortable standing. Although it is said that he has to practice every day, whether he is standing, squatting, jumping, or sitting, he has to train, and the amount of activity will be very large. But standing dry like this is too boring, and he doesn't like it from the bottom of his heart, so he will feel uncomfortable.

The people working in the Materials Bureau, when they passed by Chu Tianqi's side, they would involuntarily cast their eyes. I don't know what young people are going to do at this time, why they are moving in a limited area. But people have become accustomed to the fact that there will be such people in the building who are "waiting for the rabbit", which is nothing more than looking for someone or doing errands, and they are not allowed to give gifts or anything.

I answered several phone calls in the afternoon, all of which were work-related matters. Among them, there was a phone call from Chang Wen of Gangou Village and Zhang Xiaofeng, the principal of the township school, about the construction of the school building. They were anxious, Chu Tianqi was even more anxious, but he had to patiently let the other party wait, and said that he was now guarding the door of the office of the chief of the material section of the county material bureau. Although they heard such words many times, they also had to emphasize to the head of Chu Township again the words "time waits for no one" or "everyone is waiting", and then hung up the phone.

The people who work in the material bureau have already begun to walk out of the house with bags on their backs and lock the door as if they are going to leave work.

"Ding Woo Woo", the mobile phone rings again. Chu Tianqi took out his mobile phone and saw that it was Ning Junqi's phone, so he pressed the answer button and called, "Township Chief." ”

Ning Junqi's voice came from the phone: "How's it going?"

"I saw the chief of the material section in the morning, and he said that I should look for him in the afternoon, and said that since there is an approval from the county magistrate, he will do something special. I waited outside his office at 2 p.m. and still haven't seen him. I ......" Chu Tianqi replied truthfully.

Ning Junqi interrupted him: "I don't listen to you say this, you just say if you can get cement today, right?" Several construction sites have been suspended, the school and the village are very anxious, and some construction teams have already called me to ask if there is a score in the township. ”

Chu Tianqi understood what Ning Junqi said, and what he negotiated with the construction staff was that "half of the salary will be paid after the construction is completed, and the other half will be paid before New Year's Day", and now the project has not been completed, and the construction personnel have not received a penny. If the work is stopped like this, it means they don't have the money. And these people are all waiting for a family to eat and drink, if they continue to consume like this, can they not be in a hurry? Some of them have called themselves.

"Township Chief, I can't say if I can get cement today. I'll do my best, you make them wait. Chu Tianqi said, "It is estimated that it will be suspended today." ”

"What 'estimate' and 'try' are unreliable words. In any case, allocating cement is much easier than asking the county for cement, right? Ning Junqi said unceremoniously, "I don't care what method you use, I have to get the cement down tomorrow at the latest, if not, you don't have to come back." ”

"Township Chief, I'm ......" Chu Tianqi was about to say something more, when the sound of "Dudu Du" hanging up had already come from his mobile phone. He shook his head with a wry smile and put away his phone.

Chu Tianqi understood Ning Junqi's mood. Since last year's torrential rain, Chang Wen was injured, Ning Junqi was determined to repair and build a new school building. For the plan she made, she seriously put forward amendments and supplements, and after the township mayor's office meeting passed it, she let herself report to the county as soon as possible. During this period, she urged and inquired about the approval of the plan many times, and personally went to the county to follow up the approval of the plan. It spared no effort to apply for funds from above, "reconciled" with relevant departments, and raised funds for these works as much as possible in the township.

Chu Tianqi knew that Ning Junqi was from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and his personality was introverted and reserved. Although she is vigorous and resolute at work, and sometimes she is more spicy, things like reaching out to the relevant departments to "turn the fate" must have been disdained and not done before. It's just that for the sake of the children, for the teachers, and for the education of the township, she wiped her face, stretched out her hand to relevant departments and individuals, and accumulated the cost of school building construction little by little. Especially in the matter of applying for the county's approval, she looked for the county magistrate twice and finally got the approval.

And although he has been to the material bureau several times, but he has not even seen the face of the chief of the material section, although he met today, but there is no substantive results, and now he is still waiting in the corridor. So, can Ning Junqi not be in a hurry? She naturally knows that she will not be lazy, but the matter is there, it is useless to just understand, and the key is to solve it. Therefore, it is reasonable for her to tell herself not to go back if she doesn't get cement. But how do you get it? You can't just open the warehouse and go inside to load cement.

It's half past five o'clock, and many offices are closed and empty.

Chu Tianqi occasionally heard the content of the section chief's phone call in the morning, and he knew that the other party was talking about himself, and he wanted to embarrass himself. It seems that the other party has been hanging for a long time this afternoon, that is, the other party wants to "clean up" his content. But why did the section chief do this?

Although Chu Tianqi felt a little familiar with the section chief's face, he couldn't think of where he had seen it, but he knew that the other party was definitely "not cold" to him. Maybe it's because of his own business, maybe it's because of something else. What is it?

Forget it, don't think about it, let's think about how to get cement. It seems that there is no drama today, so I can only wait until tomorrow to come back. If the section chief doesn't come tomorrow, I'll find the director. If it really doesn't work, the county magistrate will have to look for it, but if you don't have to, don't look for the county magistrate, that would also seem to be too incompetent. Chu Tianqi thought as he walked out.

In the huge courtyard of the Material Bureau, only three cars were parked alone, two of which were covered with dust and debris, and it seemed that they had not moved for a long time, probably broken. Another parked car is 212 in the township. When Chu Tianqi came to the side of the car, he saw that the windows next to the driver's seat and the passenger seat were open, and the driver, Xiao Meng, had already fallen asleep with his mobile phone in his hand.

Hearing the movement, Xiao Meng opened his eyes, subconsciously looked at his phone, and then looked at Chu Tianqi outside the car. Xiao Meng straightened up from his seat and said, "Township Chief Chu, how is it?"

Chu Tianqi shook his head, opened the car door, got into the car, and said, "Let's go." ”

Xiao Meng didn't speak again, but started the car and drove towards the door. 212 was very slow, and when he was about to reach the door, a black car "whoosh" and jumped in from outside the door, almost scraping the car in the township. At the moment of the wrong car, Chu Tianqi subconsciously looked at the black car and glanced at the person in the driver's seat. Although he didn't see the other party clearly, he felt very much like the section chief of the material department, so he hurriedly said, "Xiao Meng, stop." ”

When Xiao Meng heard Chu Tianqi's words, he slammed on the brakes, and the car trembled and stopped. Chu Tianqi jumped out of the car, walked briskly towards the black sedan that had stopped, came to the front of the car, and looked at the driver's seat. The car was empty, and the driver had already gotten out of the car.

Chu Tianqi didn't dare to slack off, and immediately entered the office building of the Materials Bureau, came to the outside of the office of the head of the Materials Section, listened to it, raised his right hand and knocked on the door.

"Tuk tuk" and "tuk tuk" were knocked twice in a row, but there was no echo in the house. Chu Tianqi thought to himself, probably because he had seen it wrong, so he could only walk towards the door in disappointment.

When passing by the door of the toilet, a person stumbled out of it and almost bumped into Chu Tianqi. When he looked up, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: sure enough, it was him.
