Zhang Qiang and Sun Xiang glanced at each other with a wry smile, and then Sun Xiang stepped forward and said with a smile, "Secretary Chen, we must clean up, we must clean up." Hehe. ”

"In fact, last year, I discussed with Secretary Zhang to renovate this place, because this place is just on the side of the road, and there are piles of garbage, which affects the appearance of the county very much, but because of the problem of funds, it has been delayed until now......

Chen Yan glanced back at Sun Xiang, "Crying with me again and asking for money?" Let me tell you, there is no money, but the environment must also be rectified, you have to find a way to do it yourself! I don't care about the future, but now that Secretary Zhou of the Provincial Party Committee is coming, this chaotic place must cover up the ugliness. ”

Sun Xiang smiled bitterly, "Secretary Chen, it's not that you're crying poor, it's really poor." ”

"We'll have to figure it out ourselves. Even if there is no fund, we will mobilize the cadres and workers of the county to clean up by themselves, in the form of voluntary labor. ”

"But, Secretary Chen, the garbage in this place has been piled up for many years, and it may not be able to be disposed of for a while, you see that Secretary Zhou is coming soon, this, uh......" Sun Xiang glanced back at Zhang Qiang, and then said in a roundabout way.

Chen Yan stared at the huge mountain of construction waste below and groaned for a long time.

Suddenly, she raised her head and smiled at Zhang Qiang and the others, "It's not impossible. I would like to make two suggestions. First, organize vehicles to transport earthwork from there, bury a piece of land in a vain manner, and then level it slightly, so that it cannot be seen from the outside; Second, use a plastic tarpaulin to cover the whole place, cover it with a layer of floating soil, and temporarily cope with the inspection of the provincial party committee leaders. ”

Zhang Qiang frowned, it is not feasible to cover the heart with earthwork at all, it is useless to cover it like this, and sooner or later it will have to be picked up and cleaned up again, isn't it to make trouble for the queen. As for this plastic tarpaulin covering...... You might want to think about it.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qiang stepped forward and smiled lightly, "Well, Secretary Chen, then according to what you said, cover it with plastic sheeting?" I'm going to have someone get a tarpaulin, preferably a military canvas, and then cover it with a shallow layer of floating earth......"

Chen Yan nodded, "Well, that's it, you have to hurry up, and the other thing you need to pay attention to is that you have to be natural, don't let the leaders of the provincial party committee see it, it's you who are cheating." ”

Zhang Qiang smiled bitterly in his heart, and said in his heart, where is this our cheating, isn't this forced by you, an old lady...... How can we have such a wonderful idea?

Chen Yan's "wonderful suggestion" made Zhou Nan speechless. After listening to Chen Yan's words, he suddenly remembered the "shame wall" that he had seen in a newspaper in his previous life - on both sides of some roads in poor counties, bright and neat high walls for several kilometers had been erected, and the walls were uniformly painted blue and painted with patterns, and some walls were also covered with glazed tiles, which was very beautiful. Behind the wall, there is a peasant adobe wall and a dilapidated courtyard, which creates a stark contrast.

is also to cope with the inspection of superiors, Chen Yan's idea is almost the same as the above-mentioned "wall of shame". Spreading a plastic tarpaulin on a garbage dump can also be called a "fig leaf", right?

Although they didn't think so, Zhang Qiang and Sun Xiang had to agree immediately, and immediately arranged for someone to buy tarpaulins and clean up the pile of construction waste overnight.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Yan finally lost the interest in continuing the inspection work, and the group of four drove straight to the county party committee office to prepare for a meeting.

When he was about to get into the car, Zhang Qiang called Zhou Nan into his car.

As soon as the car started, Zhang Qiang couldn't help but complain to Zhou Nan in a low voice, "Good girl, my mother, let her toss to death...... I think tomorrow I will arrange for her to go around the countryside, and then stay in the county, I don't know how many faults she has to find out, and she won't toss people to death? ”

Zhou Nan smiled, "Secretary Zhang, the leader said a word, and he broke his leg below...... There is no way, she said that she can do whatever she wants, and this kind of thing can't be bargained with the leader...... After Secretary Zhou left, he was liberated. ”

Listening to the two leaders talking about Chen Yan, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, behind his back, and the words were not very respectful, Zhang Qiang's driver was nervous, drove intently, pretended not to hear anything, and put on a posture of ignoring the things in the car, and did not dare to interject or anything, and did not even dare to amplify his breath.

For the sake of his own safety, he chose to "forget" and forcibly blocked Zhang Qiang and Zhou Nan's words out of his ears.

"I've always wanted to talk to you about Secretary Zhou's arrival." Zhang Qiang's expression became solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Secretary Zhou came very suddenly this time, but in any case, it also shows a problem: that is, the recent development trend in our county is good, and it has attracted the attention of the upper leaders. This is a great thing for the county. ”

It's not of much use to Ningshan County, but it's really a great thing for you, the secretary of the county party committee, and it's a big opportunity for you to be promoted. Zhou Nan said secretly in his heart, but his expression was very calm.

"Secretary Zhou's visit this time means that the provincial high-level leaders have begun to pay attention to the economic development of poor counties, especially poor counties like ours in old revolutionary areas, which also means that the policy is inclined to support, and we must seize this opportunity."

"Secretary Zhou must have come to see the project...... I mean, we'd better have a groundbreaking ceremony for a new project in the two days that Secretary Zhou came...... In this way, it can not only allow the leaders to attend, but also create a good atmosphere for the county's economic development and vigorous investment promotion, and further expand the influence of our Ningshan County with the help of media publicity. ”

Zhang Qiang said and stared at Zhou Nan and smiled.

Zhou Nan was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment before saying softly, "Secretary Zhang, do you mean those two projects in the backing village?" I'm afraid it's too late. Besides, the two projects have already entered the construction stage, and the Sky Group is afraid that it will not agree to stop work and hold the ceremony. ”

"Or else...... Invite that company in Hong Kong to come over and talk to them about the 1 million ton steel project? Just taking advantage of Secretary Zhou's here, we can hold a signing ceremony for framework cooperation, and let Secretary Zhou attend, which can be regarded as a gift to the leaders of the provincial party committee to come to Ningshan. ”

Zhang Qiangqiang was overjoyed and said loudly, "Comrade Zhou Nan, this is the best, but can you be in time for this?" You should contact Hong Kong as soon as possible to see if they can confirm the itinerary, and if so, we will prepare immediately......"

Looking at Zhang Qiang's excited energy, Zhou Nan smiled in his heart.

Zhou Xiaolin, secretary of the provincial party committee, Zhang Qiang takes it very seriously, and this will definitely be an important opportunity for him to move up and cross the threshold of the deputy department level. Of course, for Zhou Nan, this is also an opportunity. According to the current situation, if Zhang Qiang is promoted, the county magistrate Sun Xiang may take over as the secretary of the county party committee, and he, the executive deputy county magistrate, will naturally take over as the county magistrate of Ningshan County and truly become the administrative head of Ningshan County.

Although it is now regarded as an important core leader of Ningshan County, there are still some huge differences between the executive deputy county magistrate and the county magistrate.

Zhou Nan is not a person who likes to drag mud and water, once he decides something, he will immediately put it into practice.

"Secretary Zhang, I'll call the Hong Kong side right away." Zhou Nan took out his mobile phone as he spoke, and began to call Zhang Ying in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong company, called Sun Sheng Investment, is actually a Singaporean company invested in a company set up in Hong Kong, using Hong Kong as a springboard to target the mainland and prepare to enter the promising mainland market.

The boss of Xinsheng Investment is named Ouyang Xinsheng, who was born in Singapore and is of Chinese descent. He has a close relationship with Zhang Ying, who is in charge of the business of Feiteng Group in Hong Kong, and Zhou Nan went to Hong Kong for the Spring Festival this time, and Zhang Ying introduced Ouyang Xinsheng to Zhou Nan.

Ouyang Xinsheng is optimistic about the rapid development of the mainland economy, and he believes that the demand for steel in the mainland market will increase on a large scale in the future, because all cities in the mainland are building infrastructure projects. Therefore, Ouyang Xinsheng is ready to invest in a 1 million tons of cold-rolled sheet steel project in the mainland, but this kind of energy-intensive project requires the support and cooperation of local political axes, and Ouyang Xinsheng has not found a suitable partner.

Hearing that Zhou Nan, the former big boss of Feiteng Group, gave up business and became an executive deputy county magistrate in a county in Binhai Province in the mainland, and his county was also vigorously promoting investment promotion, Ouyang Xinsheng was moved.

After Zhang Ying's introduction, he met with Zhou Nan once, but Zhou Nan felt that this kind of project was relatively polluting, so he never made up his mind, although he did not refuse, he did not nod his head.

Zhang Ying was talking to his subordinates when he suddenly received a call from Zhou Nan, and was naturally very surprised and happy. Generally speaking, Zhou Nan does not take the initiative to call Zhang Ying, and Zhang Ying will not take the initiative to call Zhou Nan.

But Zhang Ying picked up the phone and listened to Zhou Nan call himself "Mr. Zhang" seriously, knowing that it was inconvenient for him to speak now and that he must have "serious things", so he sighed lightly and only hummed.

"Mr. Zhang, Ouyang Xinsheng, the boss of the Xinsheng company you introduced last time, can you still contact him?" Zhou Nan smiled.

"Yes, others are in Hong Kong." Zhang Ying replied in surprise, and immediately realized that Zhou Nan must be interested in the cooperation project proposed by Ouyang Xinsheng.

"In this way, you immediately help me contact Ouyang Xinsheng, and you will say that I will report to the main leaders of the county party committee after I come back, and the main leaders of the county party committee agree that the two of us will conduct further negotiations......"

Zhou Nan raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "You talk to Ouyang Xinsheng, if he is interested, give me an answer immediately, it is best to come to the county in the next two days, and we will meet and talk." ”

Seeing Zhou Nan say this, Zhang Qiang couldn't help but smile bitterly and lowered his voice, gesticulating, "Comrade Zhou Nan, be polite, be polite!" Let's just say that our county party committee and county government axe officially invite businessmen to come to the county to inspect investment matters......"

Zhou Nan smiled, "Well, if you tell Boss Ouyang, let's just say that our leaders said that our county party committee and county government axe officially invited Xinsheng Company to visit Ningshan County...... If necessary, we can send an invitation letter to Xinsheng Company in the name of the People's Political Axe of Ningshan County. ”

"In such a hurry?" Zhang Ying was very strange, but he didn't continue to ask, just hesitated and agreed, "I'll contact Ouyang Xinsheng immediately, no matter what the result is, I'll give you an answer as soon as possible." ”

Zhou Nan hummed and hung up the phone.

Zhang Qiang smiled and asked, "What's the matter?" What does the other party say? ”

"Hehe, Secretary Zhang, I didn't contact the boss of that company, I contacted the senior president of Feiteng Group in Hong Kong, and I asked her to help me get in touch...... Should give me an answer by tonight. ”

Zhang Qiang let out a sigh of relief and nodded, "Okay, that's the best." If this matter is implemented, our county will also have some substantive surnames in front of the leaders of the provincial party committee...... Otherwise, can you just let the leaders listen to the report and see the construction site? There's always going to be an event to spice things up! ”

As he spoke, the compound of the county party committee arrived.

Several cars stopped in front of the office building of the county party committee, Chen Yan got out of the car without pausing, and went straight to the office building, Zhang Qiang, Sun Xiang, and Zhou Nan hurriedly followed.

The staff of the reception office, who had been waiting at the door of the small conference room for a long time, took the initiative to open the door of the conference room as soon as they saw that the leaders had arrived.

Chen Yan walked in accompanied by the three of them, and there were more than a dozen people sitting in the conference room, who immediately applauded at Zhou Nan's signal.

The warm applause softened the expression on Chen Yan's face.

Chen Yan took the lead in sitting down with a smile, and Zhang Qiang and the three of them also sat down. Zhou Nan glanced at it and saw that although Zhang Ningning did not come in person, he sent a vice president of Sky Group Ningshan Company, and several other projects also came to the main person in charge of the project, and the project department of Feiteng Group Garment Industrial Park also came with a vice president, which was enough to give Zhou Nan face.

Zhou Nan sat there and smiled and introduced the people from the enterprise to Chen Yan, these people got up and shook hands with Chen Yan respectfully, and the process of polite greetings took more than ten minutes.

………… It was already 7 o'clock in the evening after the meeting, and the four of them left the county party committee and went to the reception office of the county party committee for a banquet. In any case, Chen Yan, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, led the city's working group to Ningshan to inspect and supervise the work.

The banquet was divided into two tables, one table was accompanied by Chen Dong, deputy secretary of the county party committee, other members of the working group, several deputy positions of various departments in the city, and cadres at the deputy department level.

The other table is accompanied by Zhang Qiang, secretary of the county party committee, Sun Xiang, the county magistrate, and Zhou Nan, deputy secretary of the county party committee and executive deputy county magistrate, and there is only one guest, Chen Yan.

Under the deliberate welcome of everyone in the county, the atmosphere of the banquet was certainly good. Chen Yan was very satisfied, and took the initiative to drink a few glasses of red wine. Only Chen Dong was not in a high mood and felt uncomfortable, so he had a hard time socializing with these deputy department-level cadres in the city, and after a while, he, the host, let the guests get drunk.

At the moment of eating, Zhou Nan received a call from Zhang Ying. Zhang Ying told him on the phone that Ouyang Xinsheng was very happy and immediately promised to rush over to talk to Ningshan County about cooperation as soon as possible. For the specific matters and time of coming to Ningshan, he needs to confirm with Zhou Nan in person.

After Zhang Ying obtained Zhou Nan's consent, he gave Zhou Nan's mobile phone number to Ouyang Xinsheng. Ouyang Xinsheng called in after a short time.

Zhou Nan hid in the bathroom and talked with Ouyang Xinsheng for about ten minutes, and agreed with the other party that Ouyang Xinsheng brought people to Ningshan on March 1, which was the first day of Zhou Xiaolin, secretary of the provincial party committee, in Ningshan.

Ouyang Xinsheng originally felt a little strange that Zhou Nan was so anxious, but later heard Zhou Nan say that Zhou Xiaolin, secretary of the Binhai Provincial Party Committee, was investigating and inspecting the work in Ningshan County at that time, and he could take the opportunity to seek some preferential policy support from above, so he readily agreed.

In fact, aside from the project itself, Xinsheng Company is also one of the partners of Hong Kong Feiteng Industry, and the two sides have a very close relationship, even if it is to support Zhou Nan, Ouyang Xinsheng will not refuse Zhou Nan's proposal.

Zhou Nan hurriedly returned to the private room, and saw Chen Dong walking in drunkenly and toasting Chen Yan, so he quietly sat back in his place.

Zhang Qiang threw a glance at Zhou Nan when he heard the news, but he didn't shy away from Chen Yan, and smiled, "How is it?" Comrade Zhou Nan, what do Hong Kong businessmen say? ”

Zhou Nan smiled, "Secretary Zhang, it's done." The Hong Kong people agreed to come and talk to us as soon as possible, and I set a time with him, and they also arrived on the 28th...... If we can, we can arrange a signing ceremony on March 1 or 2. ”

Zhang Qiangqiang was overjoyed, exchanged a look with Sun Xiang, and at the same time raised his glass and nodded to Zhou Nan, the three of them smiled and touched their glasses, and then each drank a glass.

Although Chen Yan was talking to Chen Dong, she still heard the movement of the three of them, so she interjected with a faint smile, "What, you are going to have a project in the county again?" Or when Secretary Zhou came? ”

Zhang Qiang laughed loudly, "Secretary Chen, I was about to report to the leaders, yes: Comrade Zhou Nan went to Hong Kong to attract investment on behalf of the county party committee and county government this time, and negotiated a project, which is a million-ton steel project, with an investment of 150 million yuan in the first phase...... Just now, Comrade Zhou Nan confirmed with the Hong Kong side that they will come over to talk to the county about cooperation with the real surname. ”

"We originally wanted to stagger the time, but then we thought that the leaders of the provincial party committee came to our county to inspect the investment promotion work of poor counties, and it didn't seem to be a bad thing to have such a project, so we decided not to change the schedule...... Hehe. ”

Zhang Qiang laughed, Sun Xiang also smiled, and Zhou Nan smiled silently.

Chen Yan sighed, turned her head and glanced at Zhou Nan, and there was a little more complicated meaning in her eyes - she didn't have much contact with Zhou Nan, but after coming into contact this afternoon today, although she had preconceived preconceptions in her heart, she couldn't deny that the young cadre in front of her had extraordinary abilities and energy, which was far beyond Chen Dong's ability.

In the officialdom after the reform and opening up, economic development is a major event, and it also means the achievements of local officials. Chen Yan knew in her heart that a young cadre like Zhou Nan would definitely have a bright future in time.

It was only at this time that she understood why Feng Botao, secretary of the municipal party committee, and Ma Liguo, mayor of the city, attached so much importance to a so-called young cadre of poverty alleviation who was put down from the provincial party committee.

"Comrade Xiao Zhou is good, he went to Hong Kong and brought a large project of one million tons to the county, with an investment of more than 100 million, not to mention that in Ningshan County, it is also a key project in the whole city."

Chen Yan raised her wine glass with a smile, "Come, Comrade Zhou Nan, let's drink one, on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Axe, thank you for your great contribution to the economic development of Ningshan County." ”
