As the sky grew dark, Guo Xiaozhou did not pay attention to the appearance of the three passengers. I only know that there are two women and one man. When approaching Chenta Town, two passengers got off at the entrance of two villages.

There was only one last traveler left, and Guo Xiaozhou asked casually, "Is your home in town?" ”

"Yes, at the west end of town."

The voice is clean, delicate and crisp, and the Mandarin is quite standard, unlike the Chenta natives. Guo Xiaozhou couldn't help but glance at her in the rearview mirror.

Although it was only a glimpse, Guo Xiaozhou found that this traveler was very young, about twenty-three or fourteen years old, with black hair that was neither long nor short, with black-rimmed glasses, and a strong bookish smell.

"Studying outside?"

"Hmm!"

"Which university?"

"Kyoto Forestry University."

Guo Xiaozhou was slightly moved, Kyoto Forestry University is also 211, ranking lower than W University, as a candidate in this province, it is not easy to be admitted to W University, but it is even more difficult to be admitted to a famous university in other provinces. Generally speaking, the cut-off score can pass Kyoto Forestry University, and it is no problem to go to W University.

He asked curiously, "What major?" ”

The girl replied generously: "Landscape garden." ”

"This major is good!" Guo Xiaozhou glanced at her again, and subconsciously asked, "Let's go to graduate school." ”

"Hmmm! Graduation next year. ”

"Amazing!" Guo Xiaozhou praised from the bottom of his heart. As far as he knows, the annual enrollment plan for the master's degree in landscape architecture at Kyoto Forestry University is no more than 15, which is the minimum target except for seven students per year at the Shanghai Foreign Affairs University. The competition is quite fierce.

"Isn't your accent local?" The girl asked him.

"Hmmm! I work in town. ”

"Oh......" The girl fell silent suddenly.

When the car arrived in the west of the town, the girl suddenly said, "Master! I'm home. ”

Guo Xiaozhou slowly stopped and found that the car was parked in front of the courtyard gate of Deng Huaidong's house.

The girl got out of the car with a backpack, came to his window, and politely said, "Thank you, master!" Don't come to my house for a cup of tea. ”

Only then did Guo Xiaozhou see her overall appearance and figure clearly.

A white floral crewneck shirt on the top, black and blue jeans on the bottom, and a pair of mesh running shoes on the feet. The height is about 1.68 meters. The first feeling is not very amazing, but the more I look at it, the more I feel that it has connotation, and my body exudes quietness, beauty, spirit and freedom......

This is a bookish beauty that women rarely possess today.

The so-called bookish qi is a kind of elegant temperament and demeanor formed after reading poetry and books, and it is the expression of good su. Cheng Lao once said when talking about learning and cultivation in class: "People should be a little bookish. With bookishness, you can eliminate arrogance, squeamishness, domineering, anger, vulgarity, and petty morality. ”

Guo Xiaozhou was slightly stunned, got out of the car with a smile, and said, "Thank you!" I'm also going to visit a colleague and come back for tea next time. ”

The girl waved at him elegantly, turned around and walked towards the courtyard gate of Deng Huaidong's house.

Guo Xiaozhou was stunned, looked left and right, yes, it was the courtyard gate of Secretary Deng's house?

Just as he was stunned, a person walked out of the courtyard and shouted in surprise and joy: "Old man, Huifen is back, back......"

"Mom!" The young girl cried softly.

Deng Huaidong's wife lovingly hugged her daughter in her arms, and couldn't help but say: "You can make me and your father worry to death, your father is about to ask for a car to find you......"

"It's okay! The car on the road broke down, and I happened to meet a kind person who brought us back by the way......" The bookish beauty said and turned around.

Deng Huaidong's wife followed her daughter to look at Guo Xiaozhou, and said in a lost voice: "Mayor Xiao Guo ......"

"Hello sister-in-law!" Guo Xiaozhou said with a smile: "I said that who can cultivate such an outstanding girl in the town, it turned out to be Secretary Deng's ......."

Hearing someone praise his daughter, especially, the complimentist is Guo Xiaozhou, Deng Huaidong's wife was suddenly overjoyed, "Our daughter has been excellent since she was a child, wherever she likes it, the house is full of awards......"

The girl whispered coquettishly: "Mom! How can anyone boast of his own family, which makes people laugh. ”

"Who dares to laugh at our precious daughter......" With a loud voice, Deng Huaidong appeared in front of the courtyard gate.

"Dad! Drinking again? The girl obediently stepped forward and grabbed Deng Huaidong's arm.

"Just one bite, one ......small sip" Deng Huaidong's eyes fell on Guo Xiaozhou, and he said in surprise: "Mayor Guo ......"

"Secretary Deng! I'm sorry to disturb your family's fun. Guo Xiaozhou said apologetically.

"Oh...... It's okay, come in and sit. Deng Huaidong made a gesture to Guo Xiaozhou to invite in.

Deng Huaidong's wife hurriedly said: "Old man, Hui Fen is fortunate to have met Mayor Xiao Guo today, otherwise she would still be stuck on the road." ”

"Oh...... What's going on? Deng Huaidong looked at his daughter, and then at Guo Xiaozhou.

The wife immediately broke down the minibus that Huifen was riding, Guo Xiaozhou happened to pass by, and kindly told her about bringing her daughter home.

Deng Huaidong's eyes rolled, "Huifen, thank you Uncle Guo soon, your Uncle Guo is the mayor of our town." ”

Deng Huifen looked at Guo Xiaozhou, her eyelashes flickered, and just about to speak, Deng Huaidong's wife immediately woke up, "Old man, although Xiao Guo is the mayor of the town, how you interact in the town government is the same thing, when you come to our house, you have to rank according to age, and it is right for Huifen to call the eldest brother." ”

Deng Huaidong coughed dryly, "Mayor Guo is the head of a town in Chenta, and his parents are officials, and Hui Fen wants to call his uncle." ”

The wife, who has always been docile in front of Deng Huaidong, is extremely firm this time, "Huifen, listen to mom, call big brother." ”

Guo Xiaozhou was a little confused, Deng Huaidong and his family were actually more serious about the same title?

Only Deng Huifen seemed to see some eyebrows, she looked at her parents, and then at Guo Xiaozhou, her face suddenly flushed slightly, and she lowered her head and said softly: "Dad!" Mother! Let's go in and talk. ”

Although the girl didn't listen to her mother's call brother, she didn't listen to him call uncle. Deng Huaidong's face changed slightly, and he came back later, "Mayor Guo, please." ”

"Xiao Guo, come in, have you had dinner? Auntie will get you and Huifen some food, and when you come to our house, don't be polite, just treat it like your own home. Deng Huaidong's wife was two steps behind, accompanied Guo Xiaozhou, and kept asking: "How many people are in the family, are your parents in good health......

Guo Xiaozhou didn't realize that the title of Deng Huaidong's wife was constantly downgrading, from the sister-in-law who met for the first time to the aunt, from Mayor Guo to Mayor Xiao Guo, and then simply called Xiao Guo. The attitude is also becoming more and more enthusiastic.

Deng Huifen disappeared after entering the hospital, probably washing up first to eliminate the fatigue of the long journey.

Deng Huaidong's wife was busy in the kitchen, and came to the yard from time to time to take a few glances at Guo Xiaozhou. That look made Guo Xiaozhou quite uncomfortable. Deng Huaidong glanced at his wife a few times, his expression was very complicated, and his speech was no longer the official language of the past, and he looked absent-minded.

After Guo Xiaozhou and Deng Huaidong exchanged views on the cotton mill accident, they suddenly lowered their voices and said, "I came today and have something to report to the secretary. ”

Deng Huaidong hurriedly waved his hand and said politely: "Work exchange, exchange." ”

Guo Xiaozhou smiled, "Secretary Deng has read my resume, I was on a temporary position in Zhou Kang before I came to Chen Tower, to be precise, I was on a temporary position in Taihe Cotton Spinning Factory. ”

Deng Huaidong said "um": "Taihe Group seems to be very popular recently, and the newspapers are full of propaganda from Taihe Group. ”

"Yes, I have a plan to let the Taihe Group lease the three small cotton mills in our town as a whole." Speaking of this, Guo Xiaozhou stopped to observe Deng Huaidong's reaction.

Deng Huaidong was slightly stunned, "Taihe is a big group, maybe there is a relationship with you, they are willing to associate or lease, but it is no different from our current leasing contract?" ”

"It looks the same, but it's actually very different." Guo Xiaozhou said: "You also know the current situation of several cotton mills in the town, two are on the verge of bankruptcy, and the orders are insufficient; The other relied on OEM production for the county cotton spinning factory to earn hardship fees. This leads to several major problems. First, the wages of employees are unstable, and it is difficult to ensure the safety of one party; The second is that private bosses are contracted, all with the mentality of making a fortune and leaving, the investment in safety production is not enough, the technical improvement is not active, and the factory director is basically abolished after a few years of machine wear; Third, the salary is not high, the employees are not motivated, and the turnover rate is high. These problems may be able to survive for a while now, but what about in two or three years? ”

Deng Huaidong narrowed his eyes, "What are the advantages of changing Taihe?" ”

"Investing in technological transformation, strengthening safety production procedures, high salaries and stable fund distribution, can also cultivate our local high-quality cotton spinning talents, from management to the front line of production." Guo Xiaozhou said: "The most important thing is that in the future, there will be no more situations such as failure to pay wages, factory shutdowns, and employee disturbances." ”

"There are indeed advantages...... Deng Huaidong still did not express his position, he has been the secretary of the town mayor for more than ten years, and he is well versed in the three flavors of officialdom. Even if you agree, you have to make the other party grateful. He smiled and asked, "Can Taihe simply merge these three chiefs?" ”

Guo Xiaozhou understood that Deng Huaidong was anxious to get rid of his burden and wanted to sell the three factories to Taihe Group, and the town not only solved the trouble once and for all, but also was able to return a large amount of money. Only when the town finance has money can we talk about development.

But he was unwilling to throw off the burden. Today's burden may be tomorrow's gold mine.

Of course, he couldn't directly deny Deng Huaidong's construction, so he could only change his words, he shook his head and said: "Taihe Group may not be willing to merge. The main reason, you know, is that traffic problems are not conducive to long-term development, and even if you want to merge, now is not the best time. ”

The bait was thrown, and Deng Huaidong really took the bait, "When is the right time?" ”

Guo Xiaozhou said unhurriedly: "Of course, our three factories have reached a new level, and the management ability, production capacity, and product quality have reached the level of the Taihe brand, so that we can sell at a good price." Now, there is no bargaining power. ”

This passage really moved Deng Huaidong, and he said sternly: "How are you going to operate?" ”

Guo Xiaozhou said: "I have consulted with the leaders of the Taihe Group, and their group has held a meeting today. Tomorrow, a group of technical transformation personnel will be stationed in the three factories of Chenta in advance for a week-long investigation and research. After the inspection, they will have a comprehensive report on the technical transformation inspection, and after the town and Taihe Group agree, the chairman of Taihe will personally come to Chen Tower to sign the contract. ”

Deng Huaidong let out an "oh" and did not answer. Guo Xiaozhou's report is complete, it is completely cut first and then played, tomorrow Taihe's people are coming, he will only come to "report" tonight, which is acceptable to Deng Huaidong at work, but it is difficult to accept it in his heart.

Guo Xiaozhou understands what he is thinking, but he does not intend to blindly accommodate, and occasionally giving Deng Huaidong some pressure and stimulation is also a means to balance the ecological chain of officialdom.

He continued: "I had a preliminary idea of combining the three mills into a medium-sized cotton mill, which would save manpower and make it easier to manage. Small, loose and loose small businesses that used to be are now uncompetitive. Only when you grow to a certain level can you have your own right to speak. Even in the near future, we may not be able to create a cotton yarn brand belonging to Chen Ta. ”

Deng Huaidong and no less than four or five mayors have been matched with the team, among which there are those who can speak, some who are good at running, some who are scheming, and some who dare to fight, but none of them have Guo Xiaozhou's ability to see the moves, take defense as the attack, and press step by step, and the action is not hurried, tepid, and everything is just right. Not at all like the advanced level of officialdom that a person of his age has.

He also slowly tasted it, Guo Xiaozhou reported to him, and also showed him goodwill to release the friendly side, of course, he was also putting pressure on him to show his strength. The resources of Chenta are very limited, three cotton mills, six major selling factories, and several kiln factories, which are almost all of the enterprises in Chenta Township. But Guo Xiaozhou was able to complete most of the rectifications in a few days, without a trace or even flawlessly, and this control is amazing and cannot be ignored.

The future of this young mayor is limitless. Deng Huaidong no longer dared to underestimate Guo Xiaozhou. It's just that he doesn't know that this young man will be taking in the future
