The next morning, after Xie Wenzhen said goodbye to Chen Weimin and others, he politely rejected Chen Qingdong's offer to drive him back, and insisted on taking a ride back to Shuangshan Town. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the evening, Sun Ying and Zhang Meng both came to Chen Qingdong's house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the family ate lively, which was also the most lively Chinese New Year's Eve dinner their family had in recent years.

It was also at this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner that they preliminarily decided that Chen Qingdong and Zhang Meng would get engaged after the year. And because Chen Hongbing had a marriage before, he was no longer engaged, but was ready to get married directly in the summer.

Since the beginning of the Lunar New Year, Chen Qingdong was almost busy breaking his leg.

After the parents on both sides who couldn't wait to meet and negotiate, they quickly decided to set the date of Chen Qingdong and Zhang Meng's engagement on the sixth day of the first lunar month.

Because Chen Qingdong was about to officially start classes on the eighth day of the first lunar month, and Zhang Meng was about to officially leave for Huaida on the seventeenth day of the first month, and then go to Hong Kong, it was very urgent for a while. After Wang Xiuying asked the fortune teller to count the days, she found that in these days, only the sixth day of the first lunar month is a good day for engagement.

Because in the customs of Liulin County, the engagement does not need to be a big feast, only some close relatives and friends need to be invited to witness it, so although the time is short, it is completely timely.

Although the engagement does not need to be held too solemnly, Chen Qingdong and Zhang Meng are unwilling to "keep everything simple", so since the second day of the Lunar New Year, the two of them have been busy with choosing clothes, hairstyles, buying diamond rings and other things, and almost broke their legs.

In the end, at Zhang Meng's insistence, they went to Longwan and Jiyang to finally buy satisfactory clothes, and Chen Qingdong also spent more than 20,000 yuan to buy Zhang Meng a diamond ring.

However, Chen Qingdong also used the fact that he was about to get engaged as an excuse, and successfully shirked a lot of wine games that can be left or not, otherwise, with Chen Qingdong's current identity, during this Spring Festival, the average daily wine game will be at least five or six times, even if the person who drinks well will be afraid when he sees wine!

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, at the Xingyuan Hotel, Chen Qingdong and Zhang Meng held a simple engagement ceremony in the presence of some close relatives and friends.

When Chen Qingdong put the diamond ring symbolizing the eternity of love on Zhang Meng's hand, the audience immediately burst into warm applause, tears welled up in Zhang Meng's eyes, and Chen Qingdong's heart had a heavy thing.

However, Chen Qingdong has not yet felt the joy of the engagement, and he is about to start work again.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Qingdong came to Chenqiao Town early in the morning, and at nine o'clock, the plenary meeting was officially held, which is the so-called "heart-to-heart meeting", and almost all the cadres and personnel of the organs were in place.

Chen Qingdong actually knows that according to the usual practice, although the document requires that the class will officially start on the 18th day of the first month, and this all-staff meeting is also called the "heart-to-heart meeting", but before the 15th day of the first month, it is impossible for the vast majority of people to really take back their hearts, and in fact, there is no important work to be done, so during this time, eating and drinking is still everyone's main "work".

This Spring Festival is a year, Chen Qingdong naturally will not break the convention, because of everyone's dissatisfaction, so Chen Qingdong only symbolically held a heart-to-heart meeting, announced the end of the meeting, and then called the town mayor Wu Zhenshan to his office.

During this Spring Festival, in addition to being busy with engagement, Chen Qingdong is also often thinking about things at work, and he plans to officially enter the work state after the Spring Festival and start to vigorously develop Chenqiao Town!

Among all the work, Chen Qingdong attaches the most importance to the mineral issue, because this is the industry that can bring benefits and development to Chenqiao Town the most.

After Wu Zhenshan came to Chen Qingdong's office, he immediately said with a smile: "Secretary Chen, congratulations!" You just got engaged just the day before yesterday, and you are not at home to accompany your younger siblings, and you came to work today, which is so dedicated! ”

Chen Qingdong poured a glass of water and handed it to Wu Zhenshan, and sat down, Chen Qingdong smiled and said, "Thank you, Mayor Wu!" In fact, Zhang Meng also wants me to take a few more days off to come to work, but as the secretary of the party committee, I will start work on the first day today, and if I don't show up, it will really not look good! If I don't come to work by example, then it is estimated that few people will come to work. ”

Wu Zhenshan said with a smile: "Secretary Chen, anyway, there was nothing to do in the unit a year ago, and you also came to preside over the heart-to-heart meeting, I think you will go back in the afternoon, rest for a few days, accompany your younger brothers and sisters, and then officially come to work after the fifteenth, the unit has us to watch, and the county will not arrange any important work in the past few days, and it will definitely not go wrong." ”

Chen Qingdong smiled and said: "Thank you Mayor Wu for your concern, that's good, I'll go back in the afternoon, but it's too long to fifteen, I'm embarrassed to come, and second, I haven't worked for so long, and I always feel that there are shortcomings in my heart, hehe, I'll come to work tomorrow, and take advantage of the fact that there is nothing to do in the past few days, and have a few drinks with everyone." ”

Wu Zhenshan said with a smile: "Secretary Chen, you are usually busy, and you can't adapt to it when you are idle!" That's good, Secretary Chen, I didn't drink your engagement wine, these days, I can drink a few more glasses with you to make up for it! ”

Chen Qingdong hurriedly explained: "Mayor Wu, I didn't give you notice of my engagement, and I hope you don't mind!" I didn't think about making a big deal, so I only informed some of my relatives, and the others didn't tell me. ”

"Understood! Understand! Wu Zhenshan said, "That's the custom here here, and the engagement is not a big deal." However, Secretary Chen, when you get married, this cup of wedding wine is absolutely indispensable! ”

Chen Qingdong threw Wu Zhenshan a cigarette and said with a smile: "Of course!" When I get married, Mayor Wu will not only be indispensable for this cup of wine, but also must worry about me! ”

"That's no problem! I've handled marriage for several people in the past few years, and I have a bit of experience! When Secretary Chen gets married, I will definitely take care of it for you! Wu Zhenshan said briskly.

"Okay, Mayor Wu, then I'll give you a few drinks in the next two days!"

"Haha, no problem!"

After chatting about these idle things, Chen Qingdong began to talk about the topic: "Mayor Wu, I have been in Chenqiao for a few months, and I have a general understanding of the situation in Chenqiao. Our Chenqiao has so many resources and a good business foundation, but the economic level is always not going up, which is not good! So, I'm going to take care of this in the next year. ”

Wu Zhenshan saw Chen Qing** and talked about the business, although it was a little meaningful, but he immediately adjusted it and said: "Yes, Secretary Chen, with the situation of our town, the economic ranking is always not going up, it is indeed a problem, and it is also to blame that there are too many messes left before." Secretary Chen, what are your thoughts on how to develop Chenqiao Town in the next step? ”

Chen Qingdong said: "I think that if we want to develop the economy of our town, we must first grasp the mineral aspect. I've already thought about it, it's better to do it sooner rather than later, and I'll do it after fifteen. ”

Wu Zhenshan thought that Chen Qingdong was going to make up his mind about the gold mine on Guniuling again, and hurriedly said: "A few years ago, Feng Si and Liu Yue had already taken the initiative to increase the contract price of the gold mine, and Zhang Zhongde and them were behind their backs. ”

Chen Qingdong smiled and said: "Mayor Wu, don't worry, I am not going to move the gold mine on Guniuling this time, I only plan to use the knife on a few coal mines, coal mines, talc mines, etc., whose contract period has expired or is about to expire. ”

"How?" Wu Zhenshan asked.

Chen Qingdong did not answer directly, but said: "I think about it, one of the biggest reasons why the situation of the industrial and mining enterprises in our town is so chaotic is that these industrial and mining enterprises involve too many internal personnel in the cadre team, and almost all of them have entered the dark shares in the name of other people. ”

Wu Zhenshan agreed: "This is indeed the case, these industrial and mining enterprises are involved in too many people, in the beginning, the contract was only done by enterprises, and the intensity was not enough, which also led to chaos within industrial and mining enterprises." However, this is also an old problem, and it may be very difficult to solve this problem by increasing the intensity of supervision. ”

Chen Qingdong stared at Wu Zhenshan's eyes and suddenly asked, "Old Wu, tell me the truth, do you have any close relationship with these industrial and mining enterprises?" ”

Wu Zhenshan knew what Chen Qingdong meant, smiled awkwardly, and said: "Secretary Chen, otherwise I will answer like this, no matter how you want to manage these industrial and mining enterprises, even if all of them are suspended for rectification, or even if the right to issue contracts is withdrawn, I will not say a single 'no'!" ”

Although Chen Qingdong doesn't believe that Wu Zhenshan has nothing to do with these industrial and mining enterprises, what he wants is Wu Zhenshan's attitude, as long as Wu Zhenshan doesn't fall too deep and doesn't play against him often, that's fine!

"Okay, Lao Wu, with your words, I'm relieved." Chen Qingdong said, "I will not stop production and rectify these industrial and mining enterprises, nor will I take back their contracting rights, when they contracted, they signed contracts with the government, if they take back, it will be illegal contracts." ”

Wu Zhenshan asked suspiciously: "Secretary Chen, what should I do?" ”

Chen Qingdong smiled and said: "I am going to adopt a one-size-fits-all approach to solve this problem at the root, that is, after their contract period expires, I will take back the power to issue contracts and use a unified way to issue contracts to external parties." ”

"How?"

"There are two ways, first, it is still to contract these mines, but whoever contracts must do it by bidding, refusing all black-box operations, there is only one criterion, that is, the one with the highest price wins; Second, these mines are also restructured and sold directly, and the bidding method is also adopted. ”

Mayor Wu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and exclaimed: "Secretary Chen, if you use this method, you can directly draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and the effect will definitely be immediate!" However, if you do this, you will definitely offend many vested interests, and the resistance you face may be relatively large, so you have to think about it carefully! ”

Chen Qingdong nodded and said, "I have actually thought of this, and doing so can actually be regarded as a kind of reform." Throughout history, as long as it is reform, it will definitely touch the interests of a person, but as long as the overall idea of reform is correct, then there will be a lot of progress in society. Mayor Wu, although we are only running a team to manage a township now, since we have become this official, we must be responsible for the people on this side, and we must still do this reform. ”

Wu Zhenshan is a person who has been in officialdom for a long time, and he actually knows that the reason why Chen Qingdong wants to launch this reform of the mineral industry must be for the sake of his own political achievements, and on this basis, he may also have a responsible mentality for the people.

In fact, the same party is an official, why doesn't Wu Zhenshan want to make a contribution to the local people while pursuing personal progress?

Chen Qingdong continued: "Mayor Wu, if we do this, we may be subject to resistance from all sides, and it may also have a certain impact on our career, it may be bad, but it may also be good, whether you want to do this or not, you have to think about this point clearly." ”

Wu Zhenshan knew that Chen Qingdong had a close relationship with Xu Minglei, so he still tended that Chen Qingdong would be able to do well because of this reform, and as the mayor of the town, since Chen Qingdong was going to launch the reform, he actually didn't have much choice, so he said seriously: "Secretary Chen, I am willing to do this with you, no matter what the impact will be, I admit it!" As I said earlier, I won't say 'no' to any of your decisions! ”

Chen Qingdong smiled and said, "Okay, Mayor Wu, then you can arrange for someone to do some preparations in the next few days, and after the fifteenth day, let's hold a party committee to discuss this matter." ”
