On August 14, the fifth day of Chu Tianqi's arrival in Chengkang City.

At half past eight in the morning, He Zhiping came to the Chengkang Hotel to invite Chu Tianqi and asked Chu Tianqi to check the office.

Walking into the house, Chu Tianqi smelled a faint smell of paint. Walking around the inside and outside of the room, he found that all the furniture, although the style and color looked almost the same as before, had been replaced with new ones. Everything else such as paper baskets and small glove tubes has been replaced, and even the landline telephone on the desk is brand new. In short, as long as it is a movable object, all are replaced. The whole house has also been cleaned up, and two pots of lush greenery have been added to the house, giving the whole feeling of a new look.

Chu Tianqi sat on the chair and looked at He Zhiping: "Director He, the movement is a little too big, right? Those things can still be used." ”

He Zhiping immediately said: "Mayor Chu, you can rest assured that all the furniture has been effectively used. At the beginning of this month, the government office added a reception room, and the room was found, but the furniture was not bought, and this time the two sets of sofas were used. The rest of the furniture was given to the departments below, and not even a small paper basket was wasted. ”

"That's good, then I'm relieved. Although he said this, in fact, Chu Tianqi didn't completely believe the other party's words, but there was no need to be so serious.

"Thank you, Mayor Chu, for your understanding. He Zhiping's face was immediately full of joy, "Considering the convenience of your office, we have specially purchased furniture from the capital this time, all of which meet the highest environmental protection standards, and you can work in it." But after all, it is new furniture, and it is inevitable that there will be a little smell of paint or wood, so please continue to stay in the city hotel for a while, and then rest in the bedroom after two or three weeks. Bedding, toiletries, and other consumer goods have been purchased, and I will replace them for you as soon as you rest here one day. ”

"Well, if you are advised to eat well, then for the time being. Chu Tianqi accepted the other party's suggestion.

He Zhiping took out a piece of paper and spread it flat in front of Chu Tianqi: "Mayor Chu, please choose a mobile phone number from it, I should have let you choose it a long time ago, but there has been no good number for the past two days, and it has only dragged on for two days." ”

When leaving the Xuyuan County Public Security Bureau, Chu Tianqi left all the mobile phones uniformly equipped by the Public Security Bureau along with the number, and only brought his own private number, using the mobile phone given by Ouyang Yuna. He also needed a local number now, thinking that the city should be unified with numbers, so he didn't rush to the post and telecommunications bureau to handle it.

Looking at the numbers with three "8" and three "6" on the paper, he directly omitted them. He doesn't do business, there is no need to ask for the so-called auspiciousness, as long as it is easy to remember, and finally he chose a number with the last four digits being "0123".

He Zhiping asked for instructions on everything, turned around and went out.

It may be a psychological effect, or it may be that these furniture are really magnificent enough, sitting in such a room, Chu Tianqi suddenly had a feeling of being a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. Sitting in the high-end boss chair for a few turns, and walking back and forth in and out of the house for two times, Chu Tianqi felt happy in his heart. He couldn't help but tease in his heart: he is too superficial.

Although he felt funny, Chu Tianqi was still quite self-absorbed.

I was intoxicated, "tuk tuk", and there was a knock on the door.

Who could it be? Despite his doubts, Chu Tianqi still sat up straight and pretended to say "come in" in a majestic manner. At the same time, he took a newspaper and pretended to read it.

The door of the house was gently pushed open, and a person walked into the room and said, "Hello Mayor Chu!"

Hearing the voice, Chu Tianqi raised his head violently: "Good boy, why did you come?"

It was none other than a sharp sword that had not been seen for a few days. Li Jian smiled and walked to the desk: "Hello mayor, I didn't make an appointment with you in advance, please forgive me." ”

Although the other party was ridiculing him, Chu Tianqi was also happy in his heart, so he also smiled and said, "Comrade Li Jian, I agreed with you to finish it in three days, why are you only here now." You are now a member of the city government, not a small county town, and your consciousness and quality still need to be rapidly improved. ”

"Yes. With a reply, Sharp Sword sat down in the chair opposite.

Chu Tianqi stared at the other party: "You haven't answered me yet, why are you two days late?"

"That's it, it's that Xiao Li who always deliberately embarrassed me, and let me run back and forth several times, so it dragged down. Li Jian stammered a little.

Chu Tianqi said with a smile: "Oh, I understand. ”

"No, not as you think. Lijian's face was still red. Then he suddenly said mysteriously, "Director, no, mayor, I really didn't expect that you would become a deputy mayor all of a sudden, and you are still a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee." ”

Chu Tianqi's face sank: "What do you mean? Listening to your tone, I don't seem to be qualified enough." ”

"It's qualified, it's qualified. Li Jian laughed, "It just seems to be a shortcoming." Shouldn't there be a secretary at the door, and you have to go through his gate before you enter the door? ”

"Tuk tuk", there was a knock on the door.

The two people in the room immediately looked full, and Lijian quickly stood up.

Chu Tianqi said, "Come in."

As soon as the door opened, He Zhiping walked into the house. He paused for a moment, walked to the desk, and said, "Mayor Chu, at half past two in the afternoon, the members of the government team in the third conference room on the sixth floor will meet to study the current economic situation. ”

"Oh, got it. Chu Tianqi replied, and then pointed at Li Jian, "Director He, this is Comrade Li Jian, who was transferred from Xuyuan County with me, you can help him go through the entry procedures." ”

"Comrade Li Jian, hello!" After greeting him, He Zhiping said to Chu Tianqi again, "Mayor Chu, what specific instructions do you have?"

"Do it according to the rules. Chu Tianqi then added, "He used to be the deputy director of the office of the Xuyuan County Public Security Bureau, and he was also my full-time driver. ”

"Okay, Mayor Chu, then I'll arrange it as soon as possible. After speaking, He Zhiping withdrew from the room.

Chu Tianqi knew that He Zhiping had gone to ask Chen Kui.

……

At half past two o'clock in the afternoon of the 14th, the Chengkang Municipal Government team meeting was held in the third conference room on the sixth floor of the government. The meeting was presided over by Chen Kui, mayor of the government, and all the deputy mayors and members of the party group participated.

Although Chu Tianqi had already met with everyone that day, at the beginning of the meeting, Chen Kui once again formally and ceremoniously introduced him.

The meeting entered the formal stage, and the executive vice mayor introduced the economic data for the first half of the year, compared with the same period last year, and also listed some objective factors.

Next, Mayor Chen Kui asked questions and questioned the relevant leaders in charge of some data.

When I met Chen Kui these days, Chen Kui was always smiling, but today with a face, it is really much more majestic. Chu Tianqi couldn't help but secretly say: It seems that it may not be a good stubble.

After asking some questions, Chen Kui picked up a few forms and flipped through them, his majestic face became more serious, and he said in a deep voice: "At the beginning of the year, on behalf of the municipal government, I made a promise to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee that I would successfully complete the goal. However, seven months have passed this year, and only half of the scheduled tasks for the year have been completed, and the whole situation is very unoptimistic. Of course, this is an overall situation, and the sub-projects are not the same, some have exceeded the monthly promotion target, some have basically completed, and some have fallen far behind. Let's see, which work is lagging behind, and who is holding back?" At this point, he paused, his gaze slowly sweeping over everyone's faces.

Chu Tianqi noticed that the faces of everyone at the scene were different, some were calm on the surface but had a smile on the corner of their mouths, some were frowning and heavy, and some were expressionless and had nothing to do with themselves.

"Let's talk about it, can it be completed? What if it can't be completed? Who will explain to the municipal party committee? Do you still need me to name it directly?" Chen Kui stared and asked.

This time, everyone's expressions changed, and their eyes were on the only woman on the scene. Chu Tianqi knew that the woman's name was Guan Liying, and she was the deputy mayor in charge of agriculture.

Guan Liying spoke: "Mayor, so far, the agricultural data is not ideal. There are factors in this that the work is not in place, but there are also some other objective factors. ”

Chen Kui's nose "snorted", I don't know if it means "listen" or disdain.

Seeing that the mayor did not speak, Guan Liying continued: "Several agricultural pilot projects in the city are very coherent, and they cannot be completed in one year, less than three years, more than five years. Now those projects are in the middle of the year, and they need to continue to increase investment, but they basically do not see returns, so they cannot make ends meet, and the data will naturally be affected. ”

"Mayor Guan, those projects didn't see any benefits last year or the year before last, but it seems that the target task has been completed. Chen Kui answered.

Guan Liying said busily: "That's mainly because the project has won special funds from the higher authorities in the early stage, and the funds that need to be matched by the county are much less." In addition, this year's data is not good, and next year it will definitely exceed the target, and on average, the goal can be achieved. ”

Chen Kui sneered: "Oh, that's to blame the superiors for not giving money, it seems that it is still the responsibility of me, the mayor, and I didn't ask for money." According to your opinion, is it possible to borrow next year's data for this year? Can I report to the city party committee like this? Will the Dingye city committee agree?"

Guan Liying hurriedly explained: "No, I'm just talking about objective factors, and there are other reasons......"

Chen Kui interrupted the other party: "Mayor Guan, I remember at the beginning of the year, you didn't say that. In order to be in charge of agriculture, you did not hesitate to ask the leaders of the Dingye Municipal Party Committee to ask, and you also patted your chest and promised. ”

"Poof", someone laughed.

Chu Tianqi didn't know why, peeked in, and saw that several people were staring at Guan Liying. And Guan Liying blushed, and subconsciously covered the collar on her chest.

may also realize that his words have aroused the reverie of others, Chen Kui stopped talking, coughed dryly, and said: "Many things look easy to do but difficult to do, not something that can be done if you want to." Agriculture is an important industry in Chengkang, which is related to the overall development of the city, and must not be careless. Speaking of this, he changed the topic: "Comrade Chu Tianqi, you have published an article in the provincial newspaper, and I heard that you have been praised by the provincial leaders, it seems to be about the agricultural economy." ”

Everyone heard the words and turned their eyes to Chu Tianqi.

Chu Tianqi replied: "I wrote such a draft, which was later revised by others and sent to the provincial newspaper, strictly speaking, it was not published by me. ”

"Don't be too modest, it's already conclusive, it's that Liu Dazhi who copied you!" After a pause, Chen Kui said slowly, "Professional things should be done by professionals." ”
