Guo Yufeng and Chen Qingdong waited at the door of Cheng Xuehong's office for nearly ten minutes, and Wei Qinghe, the director of the transportation bureau, who was tall and thin and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face, walked out of it.

Although Wei Qinghe felt that Guo Yufeng was familiar, he didn't know Guo Yufeng, so he just showed a faint smile to Guo Yufeng and walked over.

Chen Qingdong had been to Xu Minglei's office once, but Cheng Xuehong's office was the first time he came in.

Although a long time has passed, Chen Qingdong still remembers Xu Minglei's office layout very deeply, and now that he looks at Cheng Xuehong's office, it is inevitable to have a comparison between the two offices.

The area and structure of the two offices are the same, and there is not much difference in furnishings, and there seems to be little difference in office furniture, except that Cheng Xuehong's windowsill is full of rows of plants, and there are also a few pots of pothos, red diamonds and other common plants on the ground below.

Chen Qingdong was curious if Cheng Xuehong placed so many plants for decoration, or because he was particularly fond of plants.

However, as a county magistrate with real power, he may not be able to manage every day, but he must be busy every day, and I am afraid that he does not have so much leisure to fiddle with plants.

He placed so many plants, perhaps for decoration, and in addition, placing more plants can also improve the air quality.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing** smiled dumbly, the first time he came to County Magistrate Cheng's office, he didn't think about how to leave a good impression on County Magistrate Cheng, but he was here to think about flowers and plants, it was really funny.

Cheng Xuehong was wearing a pair of glasses, leaning on the table and writing something on the notebook, and did not look up at Guo Yufeng and Chen Qingdong, who had just come in.

After Cheng Xuehong's full-time secretary Qin Zheng poured a cup of tea water for each of them, he withdrew without saying a word.

Guo Yufeng was also very restrained, standing next to Cheng Xuehong's desk, neither daring to speak nor sitting down, just standing in a daze, but still feeling a lot of pressure and a little uncomfortable.

It wasn't until four or five minutes later that Cheng Xuehong finally put down his pen, looked up at Guo Yufeng and Chen Qingdong, and said unhurriedly: "Oh, Mayor Guo of Shuangshan, sit down." ”

Guo Yufeng didn't sit, he still stood next to Cheng Xuehong's desk, and said, "County Magistrate Cheng, I don't have to sit, just stand and report to you." ”

Cheng Xuehong was not reluctant, took off his eyes, leaned comfortably on the big backrest, rubbed his temples, and said, "What's the matter, let's talk about it." ”

Guo Yufeng still looked very nervous, put the report in his hand on the table in front of Cheng Xuehong, and said: "County Magistrate Cheng, the road between our town and the scene has not been repaired for many years, and now it is difficult to walk with potholes, so our town wants to build this road, and the specific situation has been written on the report." ”

Cheng Xuehong didn't take the report at all, and said in a faint voice: "Oh, you want to build the road, this is a big project, is your town well funded? If the funds are sufficient, then you can go to repair it." ”

Guo Yufeng swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and said: "County Magistrate Cheng, our town's finances are limited, and I am afraid it is difficult to afford the cost of repairing this road. ”

Cheng Xuehong naturally understood the meaning of Guo Yufeng's words, and said in that light tone: "The county finances are also very difficult, and it is difficult to give you any help." ”

Guo Yufeng's palms were already a little sweaty, but he came with orders, if he returned like this, it was obviously not enough, so he said hard-headed: "County Magistrate Cheng, if this road is repaired, it will be able to connect Liulin County and Zhongfeng County, Zhongfeng County has developed well in recent years, and has also attracted many foreign investors, if this road is repaired, it should also be of great help to the development of our county." ”

Cheng Xuehong was a little impatient, waved his hand, and said, "Mayor Guo, I just said that if your town has money, you can build the road yourself." Connected to Zhongfeng County? Humiao Town also wants to build roads, right? Then the two townships and towns will discuss and raise funds to solve the problem by themselves. ”

Guo Yufeng pinched his palm with his fingernails, and said: "County Magistrate Cheng, I have an idea, since this road connects our two counties of Liulin and Zhongfeng, can the county consider upgrading the level of this road to a county road?"

Cheng Xuehong was resting with his eyes slightly closed, but when he heard Guo Yufeng's words, he suddenly opened his eyes, propped his hands forward on the table, glared at Guo Yufeng and asked, "What did you say?"

Guo Yufeng was obviously taken aback, and couldn't help but take a step back, looked at Cheng Xuehong's eyes, and said in a snort: "County Magistrate Cheng, we have this idea......

After a momentary gaffe, Cheng Xuehong leaned back on the back of the chair again, but this time he didn't close his eyes slightly, but looked directly at Guo Yufeng, and asked with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "This matter, you went to the party committee to study it, right?"

"Studied it. Guo Yufeng said a little mechanically.

"Unanimously approved?" Cheng Xuehong asked knowingly.

"Yes. Guo Yufeng said again.

"Okay, good. Cheng Xuehong said lukewarmly, "I know about this matter, you can go back." ”

Guo Yufeng was very embarrassed and said, "Yes, County Magistrate Cheng." ”

Chen Qingdong didn't say a word to Cheng Xuehong from beginning to end, and Cheng Xuehong only glanced at him at the beginning, and he didn't know his name, so he drove the two of them out.

After the two of them walked out of the government building with a disgraced face, Guo Yufeng smiled bitterly: "I was mentally prepared to be criticized, but I didn't get criticized much, but this taste is really uncomfortable." County Magistrate Cheng's pass, he must not have passed!"

Chen Qingdong thought about Cheng Xuehong's attitude just now, and said helplessly: "Yes, Mayor Guo." ”

"Qingdong, do you still have any hope for upgrading to the county road?" Guo Yufeng asked again.

"There should still be hope. ”

"How?"

"Isn't there still Secretary Xu?"

Guo Yufeng thought for a while and said, "When I report this work to Secretary Xu, I must let Secretary Zhang take the lead." I used to look forward to reporting to the county leaders in person, but I didn't expect to have such an opportunity, which was not comfortable at all. ”

Chen Qingdong saw that Guo Yufeng was speaking so frankly in front of him, and he didn't even shy away from this subtle feeling, and he was also very moved in his heart, so he comforted him and said: "Mayor Guo, the reason why you have just been in the town for too short a long time, there are not many opportunities to see the county leaders, and if you see more in the future, it is estimated that you will not feel much." Didn't you just say that the county magistrate is also a human being, with two eyes and a mouth, no more than others. ”

Guo Yufeng sighed: "Although I said that, but after all, it's not the same thing to do. Qingdong, are you going back to town this afternoon?"

"I'm not going back today, Mayor Guo. Chen Qingdong said, "My girlfriend is going to Huai University to study as a graduate student, and she will leave tomorrow, so I am going to meet her today." It's been so busy that I haven't seen her much. Mayor Guo, please go back and help me ask Secretary Zhang for a leave. ”

"Okay! you go and get busy with your business! You don't have to go to town if you have something to do in the past two days, just take care of it and then come to work, I'll take care of everything for you." Don't worry, Secretary Zhang, I'll tell him. Guo Yufeng said briskly.

"Mayor Guo, thank you, I'll invite you to drink at noon!" Chen Qingdong said with a smile.

Guo Yufeng didn't shirk either, and said with a smile: "Okay! Have a few drinks at noon, I'm really suffocated this morning! By the way, you said your girlfriend is going to graduate school?"

"Yes, Mayor Guo, is there something wrong?"

"I'm fine, but how many years does it take for your girlfriend to go to graduate school? two years or three years?"

"For two years, she studied on the job. ”

"What do you mean by being on the job?

"Yes. I usually work in the unit, but I have to study intensively for a period of time every semester, as long as I have enough credits and can finally pass the exam and defense, I can get my graduation certificate. ”

After listening to this, Guo Yufeng spit out the smoke ring, and said earnestly: "Qingdong, you are almost twenty-five this year, right?"

Chen Qingdong immediately guessed what Guo Yufeng was going to say, so he smiled and said, "It's not yet, I'm still young." ”

Guo Yufeng glared at him and said, "Still young, even if you don't have twenty-five, you're almost there." I think when I was twenty-five, I was already a father. Qingdong, in our small county, you are not too young, it's time to think about getting married.

Chen Qingdong smiled: "Okay, Mayor Guo, I'll think about this matter when I go back, and let you be my companion when the time comes, how about it?"

"You kid, don't be flamboyant, I'm talking to you about serious things. Guo Yufeng said with a smile, "If your kid is really married, call me to be your big companion, I will definitely have no problem." Qingdong, you really think about it. Where does that little girlfriend of yours work?

"Yes, County No. 1 Middle School. ”

"Is there a formal establishment?"

"Yes. ”

Guo Yufeng patted his thigh and said: "This condition is good, No. 1 Middle School is also a good unit, and marrying a teacher as a wife, you don't have to worry about your children's education in the future, killing two birds with one stone, how good! Qingdong, find a time recently, hurry up and put this matter on the agenda!"

Chen Qingdong smiled bitterly: "Mayor Guo, if my mother knew that you cared so much about my marriage, she would definitely have to thank you!"

Guo Yufeng also laughed and said: "I also found out, it seems to have become very verbose recently, am I getting old?" It seems that I am really old, people, you can disobey anything, but you can't accept the old age!"

Chen Qingdong said with a smile: "Mayor Guo, at your age, less than forty years old, it is the time to do business, if you still say that you are old, those people in their fifties and sixties are really going to cry to death!"

made a joke, Chen Qingdong said seriously: "Mayor Guo, I understand your concern for me, I must think about marriage!"
