Zhao Yiming, the street director, together with several directors of the neighborhood committee, and some personnel from the chengguan were inspecting the shops on the street. During this period, the municipal party committee and government were under inspection by the province to "create a healthy and civilized city". As a result, the city pressed the district, the district pressed the street, the level pressed the level, and the level increased.

At the street level, the standard of "creating a hygienic and civilized city" is not only the problem of street cleanliness, but also the problem of neatness of street stores.

This neatness contains many small items: first of all, the font of the door head should be standardized and unified, and the Chinese characters should be simplified in italics. The second is that these door words must be lit up at night, which is combined with the "lighting" project of the municipal government.

Again, the roller shutter doors of these façade rooms must be uniformly customized, so that there is no rust. It's so hard to keep a roller shutter door that has been exposed to the outside all day and has been exposed to the wind and rain without rust, unless it's a new roller shutter that is less than a month old.

These three items are all added layer by layer from the city level to the district level and then to the street. It's a really difficult task for ordinary merchants. It's not difficult to say that it's not difficult, the main thing is that all three of these costs money.

For Lin Guoqiang, these three are:

The first item is to change the words on the door head. The six words "Lin Guoqiang's car repair shop" were also made by Lin Guoqiang, carved with simple styrofoam, and I don't know what the body is, anyway, it's not italics. This one has to be changed first.

Second, these six words should be replaced with words that will shine at night. That way, at night, whether your shop is open or closed, the words on the door will be lit up, and the whole street will look neat and beautiful.

The third item is that the roller shutter door needs to be replaced. What Lin Guoqiang took over was originally a supermarket warehouse, and this roller shutter door has been used for several years, where can it not be rusty?

Now, Lin Guoqiang and a few shopkeepers on the street are standing in a pile, discussing with Zhao Yiming, the street director of Liuliqiao Street, and Qi Guobing of the Yangjiaoziwan Neighborhood Committee.

It is said that it is discussed, but this matter is actually not negotiable, after all, this Jiefang West Road is one of the image projects in the city. According to Zhao Yiming's words, the inspection team in the province will conduct surprise inspections at any time, whether it is day or night. In order to cope with this kind of inspection, the municipal party committee and government have long been prepared.

Their preparation is to build several "image engineering demonstration streets" in the city. As long as the province asks for inspections, the city leaders will take them to these "image engineering streets".

And the leaders of the province also know that these "image engineering demonstration streets" are, to put it bluntly, "face engineering streets". In addition to these "face engineering streets" in the city, other streets can't be handled. This is the tacit "unspoken rule" that everyone tacitly understands every time they check. As long as there is no problem with these "face engineering streets", other neighborhoods will pass by.

If the leaders of any province ask to see the neighborhoods outside the "Face Project Street", then everyone will understand that the province is not ready to let the city pass the inspection at all, and the matter of "creating a healthy and civilized city" will be in vain.

Zhao Yiming said with a smiling face: "So, if you say a thousand ways and ten thousand, our Jiefang West Road is the 'Face Engineering Street', so there can't be a little problem." Rectification must be carried out in strict accordance with the requirements of the city. If I don't do that, I, the street director, will have to be laid off. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Yiming suddenly said with a straight face: "However, my ugly words are ahead, if anyone lays me off, I will let someone stay on this street first!"

Lin Guoqiang and the "bosses" of several shops began to mumble in private.

The owner of a shop ridiculed Lin Guoqiang and said, "Boss Lin, you don't have to worry. Your car repair shop of more than 100 square meters is a must for us to liberate the West Road. ”

"That's right, Lao Lin's backstage is hard, I heard that it is the deputy mayor of the city. The street chief can control you!"

Lin Guoqiang immediately smiled helplessly: "Alas, don't make fun of me." Although after moving here, my car repair business is good, and I can't keep busy all day. However, the rules of the street and urban management are also a new standard every day. Let's just say this time, I'm a car repair shop, and I have to make neon signs, and I have to replace the roller shutter doors, which is all money!"

The owner of a hair styling shop opposite nodded and said, "That's right, a bicycle repair shop, the car is only worth a few dollars, what kind of neon signs, roller shutter doors? ”

When Lin Guoqiang heard this, he was stupid, and asked anxiously: "What? These two things cost 10,000 yuan?"

The owner of the hair styling shop said: "That's the key is that the labor cost is expensive now, I don't believe you try it!"

Lin Guoqiang is in a dilemma now, he is a poor worker, he can only repair a car, where is there any vision for big business. As soon as he heard this, he immediately said to the street director, "Director Zhao, I'm ...... Let me discuss something with you. I'd better stop driving this garage here. I moved back to my own doorstep. This place will be given back to you streets, and whoever you love will come. ”

When Zhao Yiming heard this, he suddenly felt a burst of joy in his heart. Lin Guoqiang, a car repair shop, has a negligible business. The key is that there is no need to pay rent, which makes the small coffers in the street lose more than 10,000 yuan of income every month. This money, at the end of the year, is more than 100,000 yuan, and it is also a big benefit to distribute it to the people in the street office.

Well, because he wanted to engage in image engineering, he was stunned and scared Lin Guoqiang away, which is not a "windfall" for the sub-district office.

However, Zhao Yiming was still not embarrassed to agree directly, but pretended to persuade him: "Lao Lin, you better think about it carefully, after all, arranging you here is also the meaning of Vice Mayor Zhou." You are a typical example of laid-off workers working in the community. Whether or not to continue to drive a car repair shop here, you should think about it again. ”

Before Lin Guoqiang could answer, he heard a young man's voice suddenly come from behind him: "What's 'do you want to continue to drive a car repair shop here'? Dad, what's going on?"

The person who came was Lin Xiaojin. He originally wanted to take Liu Dongsheng and them to his house to see the "6 billion" banknote. But when I arrived at the door, I realized that I forgot to bring my key when I went out in the morning. took Liu Dongsheng and they came to the car repair shop first, wanting to ask Lin Guoqiang to get the key. Mr. Liu's car was parked across the road.

When Lin Xiaojingang got out of the car and walked across the road, he heard the words of Zhao Yiming, the street director.
