At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Qingdong and Guo Yufeng drove to Humiao Town, which is adjacent to them, to discuss the road construction with the leaders of Humiao Town.

Since they want to raise this road to the county road level, and this road has to pass through Shuangshan and Humiao, and then it can be connected to Zhongfeng County in the south, so the two towns of Shuangshan Town and Humiao Town will report to the county together, and the chances of success will undoubtedly be greater.

Before setting off from Shuangshan Town, Zhang Yungang had already talked to Liu Wendong, the party secretary of Humiao Town, on the phone, and Liu Wendong also expressed great interest in this matter, saying that he must discuss this matter with them.

It's just that when Zhang Yungang proposed that he would go to Humiao Town in the afternoon, Liu Wendong said that he had set off today and was not in the town, but their town mayor Fang Bin was at home and could let Zhang Yungang go and talk to Fang Bin.

Zhang Yungang didn't know whether Liu Wendong really set off or "deliberately", but he knew that Liu Wendong had always been scheming, maybe this was really a negotiation skill of Liu Wendong.

Zhang Yungang is the number one in command of Shuangshan Town, and Fang Bin is just the second-in-command of Humiao Town, if he goes to talk to Fang Bin in person, it will be a big taboo in the negotiation - the identities of the two sides are not equal!

Moreover, Zhang Yungang, as the biggest trump card in Shuangshan Town, if he appeared at the beginning, then if there was any problem in the back, there would be no room for confinement, so he would not go out in person, but let Guo Yufeng take Chen Qingdong to Humiao Town for a trip.

Anyway, Guo Yufeng is the mayor of the town and the leader of the road repair preparatory team in Shuangshan Town, so it is reasonable for him to come forward to talk, and it can be regarded as giving Humiao Town enough face.

On the way to Shuangshan Town, Guo Yufeng suddenly asked, "Qingdong, what do you think of Secretary Zhang?"

Chen Qingdong didn't expect Guo Yufeng to ask such a sensitive question, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but since Guo Yufeng asked, he couldn't help but answer, because there was a driver in the car, Chen Qingdong said vaguely: "I think Secretary Zhang is a good person, young, capable, and qualified, and his future is definitely limitless." ”

Guo Yufeng nodded and said thoughtfully: "You are right, Secretary Zhang's future is absolutely limitless. Qingdong, for this matter arranged by Secretary Zhang, we must do it wholeheartedly. ”

Chen Qingdong couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, thinking that Guo Yufeng was worried that he and Zhang Yungang's hearts were not together, and asked himself this question, just to remind himself not to have trouble with Zhang Yungang.

However, Chen Qingdong thought again that Guo Yufeng didn't know that the relationship between himself and Zhang Yungang was actually very good, so he reminded himself like this, which was actually a good intention.

Chen Qingdong said a little gratefully: "Mayor Guo, I know. ”

The car soon passed through Shuangshan Town and came to the boundary of Humiao Town.

When the Lvye Farm was built last year, Chen Qingdong bought the bricks in Humiao Town, and the people who sold the bricks were still relatives of Xie Wenhai, and the price was very cheap.

In fact, Chen Qingdong also knows a lot about Humiao Town, and knows that the situation in Humiao Town is actually very similar to the situation in Shuangshan Town, these two towns are very remote towns in Liulin County, and the economic development in recent years has also ranked behind the county, but the area of these two towns is actually very large, and the resources are also very rich.

Shuangshan Town has two stone hills, and an old forest, and the land is also very fertile, while Humiao Town also has stone mountains and old forests, and there is also a small coal mine.

It's just that the scale of this coal mine is not large, the quality of the coal produced is average, coupled with the inconvenient transportation, the cost of transportation is more expensive, and the price of coal has not been able to rise in the past two years, so this small coal mine is only half-dead drag, the coal mine boss Zhang Guitao has long wanted to sell the coal mine, but he did not take over.

Later, Zhang Guitao wanted to promote the construction of roads to reduce transportation costs.

However, building a road is a big project, not only needs funds, but also needs policies, but the Humiao town government to the county to ask for policies or not, and he lacks funds, although Zhang Guitao has been shouting for the town government to build the road, but he himself does not pay for it, and the matter has been shelved.

It is precisely because of the impact of inconvenient transportation that Shuangshan Town and Humiao Town have not been able to really develop, and the distance between them and the towns with superior locations and convenient transportation in the county has also become wider and wider.

So this time, Chen Qingdong believes that the leaders of Humiao Town will definitely agree to the construction of the road.

Guo Yufeng has been to the Humiao Town Government several times before, and he also knows Fang Bin, the mayor of Humiao Town, and has drunk wine twice, but Fang Bin has been the mayor of the town for several years, but Guo Yufeng is the new mayor, and he is much worse than Fang Bin in terms of qualifications.

Moreover, the few times Guo Yufeng had contact with Fang Bin before, he was with Wei Hailong, and Guo Yufeng was not the protagonist at that time, so the friendship between him and Fang Bin was not deep.

After they came to the Humiao Town Government, Guo Yufeng immediately found Fang Bin's office familiarly.

Fang Bin's office door was open, the burly Fang Bin was sitting at the desk on the phone, Guo Yufeng and Chen Qingdong walked in without knocking on the door, Fang Bin turned his head and glanced at them, as if he didn't see who they were, made a gesture to them to sit down, and then continued to call for nearly a minute before putting the phone down, and then looked at Guo Yufeng and them carefully, and then said with some doubts: "Are you ...... Mayor Guo?"

Guo Yufeng stood up, walked over to Fang Bin, and said with a smile: "Mayor Fang, I'm Guo Yufeng, you are really a noble person!"

"Ouch, I'm really embarrassed, Mayor Guo!" Fang Bin stood up as he spoke, walked over and shook hands with Guo Yufeng, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mayor Guo, I haven't seen you for a while, you are much younger than before, I didn't recognize you at first! Can't keep it!"

Guo Yufeng said with a smile: "I have eaten a home remedy, and I will copy a copy of it for you when I go back! However, I bought this home remedy for a lot of money, but I can't give it to you for nothing!"

Fang Bin laughed and said, "No problem, I'll treat you to a good drink and change it for a home remedy, how about it?"

Guo Yufeng smiled: "Okay! Although I suffer a loss, but so be it, who called us old friends!"

After the joke was over, Fang Bin said again: "Mayor Guo, congratulations on your promotion to mayor of the town! After reading your appointment and dismissal documents, I am really happy for you! In the past few days, I have been thinking about finding an opportunity to invite you to have a drink, but I went to study outside some time ago, and after I came back, something happened at home, and I couldn't leave it behind because I was busy with work, so I postponed this matter! Today is just right, Mayor Guo, you must give me a chance, let me do my best as a landlord!"

"Okay! Today I will go to the Three Treasures Hall without anything, and when we are done talking, we will have a good drink. Guo Yufeng said with a smile.

"Secretary Liu has already told me about this!" Fang Bin said bluntly, "Building the road is a great thing, we have been looking forward to it for a long time and have not been able to get this matter done, the main reason is that the finances of our two townships are weak and we can't come up with money." Now, if our two townships can build this road, it will be a great thing for the benefit of the people. However, Secretary Liu is not at home today, let's talk about it first, and I will report to Secretary Liu when the talk is finished. ”

"Okay!" Guo Yufeng said, and then introduced, "Mayor Fang, let me introduce to you, this is the deputy mayor of our town, Chen Qingdong, he is the deputy leader of the preparatory team for the road repair in our town, and he is also the director of the office. ”

Chen Qingdong hurriedly said, "Hello, Mayor Fang. ”

Fang Bin smiled and stretched out his right hand to Chen Qingdong and said, "Mayor Chen, I see your age, you are only in your early twenties, right?"

Chen Qingdong shook hands with him and said with a smile: "Mayor Fang, I am twenty-five years old this year. ”

"Twenty-five, isn't it?" Fang Bin asked again.

Chen Qingdong smiled and acquiesced.

Fang Bin sighed: "Such a young deputy mayor is really rare in our Liulin County! When I was twenty-five years old, I was still working as a Chinese teacher in our county No. 2 Middle School! Mayor Guo, what were you doing when you were twenty-five years old?"

"When I'm twenty-five,......" Guo Yufeng thought for a while and said, "I should still be working as an ordinary clerk in Shuangshan." ”

"Yes! When we were twenty-five years old, we were still a long way from the deputy section level! Mayor Chen became the deputy mayor at such a young age, that is, one step ahead, step by step, among the people in our county who are in the same age group as Mayor Chen, Mayor Chen's customers are a big step ahead!" Fang Bin said, "Mayor Chen, you are young and promising, and your future prospects are really limitless! After Mayor Guo and I retire in the future, we still have to go to you for food." ”

Chen Qingdong said modestly: "Mayor Fang, you really won the award!"

"It's not that it's a prize, it's a fact! It's common for the back wave to push the front wave, and one generation is stronger than the next!" Fang Bin smiled, "Mayor Guo, Mayor Chen, please take a seat!"

Then, Fang Bin went to get disposable cups and tea leaves to pour them tea.

Seeing this, Chen Qingdong hurriedly lifted the kettle and said, "Mayor Fang, I'll come." ”

Fang Bin went to fight with Chen Qingdong for the kettle, and said, "It's a guest from afar, how can I let you pour water?"

Chen Qingdong said: "Mayor Fang, let's come, our two towns are neighbors, we come here today, just like coming to our own house, you are the leader of Hu Temple, and you are also my leader, I should come to pour water." ”

Fang Bin no longer competed with Chen Qingdong, but said with a smile: "Mayor Guo, you young deputy mayor is really good! In terms of this eloquence and social ability, you are a lot higher than ordinary young people, no wonder you can become the deputy mayor at such a young age! Mayor Guo, your vision is still poisonous, and you have poached all the good seedlings!"
