That morning, the two of them finished breakfast in the hotel's restaurant, pulled their suitcases and prepared to go to the airport.

But as soon as he walked to the door, Liang Bin received a phone call, and after listening to the call, he smiled and said to Wang Xiaosong: "Xiaosong, the situation has changed, put the luggage back." ”

Wang Xiaosong was taken aback, so he followed Liang Bin to rearrange the room, and on the way to the room, he heard Liang Bin say what was going on.

"Governor Zhang Dongfei of East China Province and Director Lu of our new district flew to Beijing this afternoon. The purpose of this trip is to go to Ling Qiang, director of the National Binlai New Area Preparatory Committee. You and I are entourage this time. Liang Bin said.

Wang Xiaosong nodded: "Looking for Director Ling at this time, there must be an important situation." ”

"You guessed it right, it's been a while since the new district was approved, but the selection of our main urban area has been a bit slow. Therefore, the Preparatory Committee has begun to urge, and this time the province is going to come and talk to the Preparatory Committee. Liang Bin said.

Wang Xiaosong was a little surprised: "So, is the central government putting pressure on the province? Then we may have to be careful this time." ”

Liang Bin smiled: "You kid, are you afraid of being criticized? Don't worry, the phone call just now was from Director Lu, and in addition to telling me about it, he also praised you kid." said that your work is in place, if it weren't for you Wang Xiaosong, the location of the main urban area of this new district may not have results in a year and a half. ”

Lu Yunsheng actually said such kind of praise to himself, which made Wang Xiaosong really a little surprised, and hurriedly humbled himself to Liang Bin, and followed Liang Bin back to the room, waiting for the two leaders who came to Beijing from the province.

At the meeting in the afternoon, the two sides chatted quite well. Compared with officials of Zhang Dongfei and Ling Qiang, Wang Xiaosong's status is indeed a little insignificant, and during the whole meeting, except for the introduction of the process of site selection in the new district on behalf of Lu Yunsheng, the director of the new district, there is basically no opportunity for him to express his opinions.

Seeing that when the meeting ended, everyone went to the restaurant to eat together, Wang Xiaosong had the opportunity to contact Ling Qiang alone.

The working meals provided by the restaurant are served in the form of buffets, and Wang Xiaosong was choosing food for himself with a plate, when he saw a hand stretched out next to him.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Ling Qiang, Wang Xiaosong hurriedly smiled and bowed slightly: "Director Ling." ”

Ling Qiang also smiled slightly: "Comrade Xiaosong, you are very famous with us." ”

Wang Xiaosong didn't expect anything that the first thing Ling Qiang said to himself in private was actually like this. was stunned for a moment, and after reflecting for half a second, he hurriedly said, "You have won the prize." ”

"Not at all, to be honest, the environmental protection you carried out in Binlai County is a classic. We learned about the situation of the new area by phone before, and many people said that if Wang Xiaosong was missing in Binlai New District, I am afraid that this site would have to be delayed any longer. Ling Qiang said.

Hearing Ling Qiang say this, Wang Xiaosong subconsciously sighed, but soon realized that his sigh didn't seem appropriate, so he wanted to say something to explain.

Who knows, Ling Qiang took over the conversation first: "I know why you are sighing." The construction of the new area is obviously a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but the resistance in the middle is not ordinarily large.

In fact, throughout the ages, doing any big thing has been like this. And I also want you to know that Rome was not built in a day. Doing a good job of environmental remediation in advance is actually sharpening knives and not cutting wood, don't be afraid of slowness, no one will hold you accountable for slowness. ”

Wang Xiaosong knew that Ling Qiang might not say such things so directly at a formal meeting. Perhaps he deliberately waited until it was time to eat today, and in front of the buffet table, he said his true opinion.

This view made Wang Xiaosong feel the weight of the words 'long live understanding', and said with some emotion: "Thank you for your understanding." ”

Ling Qiang nodded, and continued: "You remember, no matter where the main city of the new district is chosen, the environment must be one of the most important factors to consider. My advice to you is that in the future, the main urban area must not affect the environment, but live in harmony with the environment. In this case, it may lead to higher costs, but the costs are worth it. ”

After speaking, Ling Qiang turned around and left the dining table.

Wang Xiaosong stood in the distance, and suddenly began to mumble in his heart, and suddenly recalled a detail. Ling Qiang came over just now, although he also had a clip in his hand, but after talking for a long time, he added a piece of broccoli to his plate.

Therefore, Ling Qiang didn't pick up food at all just now, and chatted with Wang Xiaosong by the way. Instead, he deliberately walked to Wang Xiaosong's side to convey a very important thing to Wang Xiaosong!

But what can't be said at the meeting? Why find Wang Xiaosong alone and convey it to Wang Xiaosong in this way?

Wang Xiaosong desperately recalled what Ling Qiang had just said, and suddenly thought of the sentence 'The main urban area should live in harmony with the environment, and it is worth paying some costs for this'.

Holding the dinner plate, Wang Xiaosong, who was standing next to the dining table, completely forgot to take something to eat, but stood here, constantly savoring Ling Qiang's words.

Suddenly, a white light flashed in his mind, and Wang Xiaosong immediately figured it all out.

Wang Xiaosong took the plate, walked to an empty table in the restaurant, put down the plate, spread out his work notebook, and found a hand-drawn floor plan of Longshan Town.

"Living in harmony with the environment is worth the cost. Wang Xiaosong muttered and repeated what Ling Qiang had just said, while comparing the floor plan of Longshan Town, all the questions were cleared out at once.

That's right, that's what Ling Qiang meant! It's just that according to the usual practice, the central authorities have the responsibility to supervise and urge the East China Provincial side, but it is inconvenient for them to directly intervene in command. In order to avoid suspicion, Ling Qiang used this way to convey this suggestion to Wang Xiaosong.

Ling Qiang means that if the main urban area is built with Longshan Town as the center, it will inevitably affect the wetland park area in the south of the city in the future.

In order to protect the wetland reserve, it is necessary to appropriately move the main urban area north, which will involve the migration of nearly 4,000 people from two natural villages.

This is the cost of living in harmony with the environment!

After Wang Xiaosong figured these things out, he turned his head to look at Ling Qiang and the other people's dining table, and found that at this moment, Ling Qiang was also looking at him meaningfully.

When he found Wang Xiaosong comparing the floor plan in the notebook, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Wang Xiaosong understood that how to resettle these 4,000 people is the most important issue in the construction of the main urban area in the future!
