Chen Xinren, director of the Haizhou Municipal Transportation Bureau, is 53 years old and has been in the position of director of the transportation bureau for seven years. At the beginning of last year, Chen Xinren was not able to go further, and basically had no expectations for his career, knowing that he was also a director-level life. However, after being able to be the leader of a fat and oily department like the Transportation Bureau for seven years, Chen Xinren can be regarded as satisfied, and he has no regrets. The only thing he is looking forward to now is to be able to successfully complete this term of director, and then retire to the second line as a researcher.

It should be said that Chen Xinren has served as the director of the Haizhou Municipal Transportation Bureau in the past few years, and the traffic outlook of Haizhou City has been greatly improved, and the mileage of Haizhou Expressway has jumped to the forefront of the province. However, Chen Xinren also has regrets, that is, the new Haidong line has not been completed and opened to traffic, which makes his otherwise successful career as director of the transportation bureau unsatisfactory.

This morning, Chen Xinren received a call from the project headquarters of the Dongjiang section of the Haidong New Line, saying that the newly appointed executive vice mayor Zhao Changfeng went to Dongjiang County and appeared at the construction site of the No. 1 Python River Bridge.

Chen Xinren did not dare to slack off, and immediately asked the secretary to find him all the information about the new Haidong line. Although he still remembered most of the data of the new Haidong line, he hid in his office and read them again for the sake of safety. He knew that if nothing else, Mayor Zhao would definitely come to him within a day or two to ask about the new Haidong line.

Facts have proved how timely Chen Xinren's preparation was, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, he received a call from Bao Xiaofei, asking him to go to Mayor Zhao's office.

"Section Chief Bao, give me a thorough understanding of what kind of work Boss Zhao wants to talk about, I can prepare it simply, and I can be targeted when I report." Chen Xinren smiled on the phone and was close to Bao Xiaofei.

"The boss didn't say, where can I guess? In short, you won't leave Director Chen's job, right? Bao Xiaofei made a haha on the phone and put down the phone.

Chen Xinren came to Zhao Changfeng's office with carefully prepared materials, and said as soon as he entered the door: "Mayor Zhao, I am preparing materials these days to systematically report to you the work of our city's traffic display. ”

"Sit down." Zhao Changfeng pointed to the chair in front of the desk and said, "Put aside the other aspects of work first, you tell me first, what's going on with the Haidong New Line?" ”

Chen Xinren pulled out the chair, sat down on the chair solidly, put the folder in his hand on the table, and said: "The new Haidong line was originally planned to be completed and opened to traffic at the end of the previous year, and the Haicheng section and the West Lake section have been completed according to the plan, but the Dongjiang section has not been in place because the matching funds of Dongjiang County have not been in place, so it has stopped. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xinren stopped and peeked at Zhao Changfeng. Zhao Changfeng didn't speak, holding a cigarette in his hand, leaning back in the chair, without any expression on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Chen Xinren was afraid of dealing with this kind of leader who could not see joy and sorrow in his life, so he quietly moved his buttocks forward, and his waist left the back of the chair, and continued to report: "The construction funds of the new Haidong Line are based on the principle of the three-three system, that is, the province allocates a part, the city makes up a part, and the county and district take a part. The Dongjiang section has a total of 45.5 kilometers, and the required investment is 670 million yuan, according to the principle of the three-three system, the provincial transportation department allocated 220 million yuan, the municipal transportation bureau subsidized 220 million yuan, and the remaining 230 million yuan was raised by the local government of Dongjiang County. ”

Dongjiang County is the economic depression of Haizhou City, the economy ranks last among the two districts and three counties of Haizhou City, and the annual fiscal revenue is not 200 million, that is, a food finance, and it is indeed a bit difficult for Dongjiang County to come up with 230 million yuan of matching funds for road construction.

Zhao Changfeng still understands the basic economic situation of the counties and districts under Haizhou City, listened to Chen Xinren's report, pondered for a while, and then asked: "When this line was designed, didn't Dongjiang County's financial affordability be taken into account?" ”

"This ......" Chen Xinren looked at Zhao Changfeng's face again, and said hesitantly: "The situation here is a bit complicated......

Zhao Changfeng stretched out his hand and flicked the ashes of his cigarette, but did not speak, but just motioned Chen Xinren with his eyes to continue.

"Originally, according to the original design route, the Dongjiang section was 38.6 kilometers long and only needed 420 million yuan. Taking into account the specific economic situation of Dongjiang County, Dongjiang County only needs to come up with 60 million yuan in matching funds, and the remaining 360 million yuan will be shared equally by the provincial and municipal transportation departments. But then the situation changed...... "Chen Xinren knew that he couldn't escape this pass, so he took the initiative to explain the ins and outs of the revised route of the Dongjiang section of the Haidong New Line."

It turned out that the situation was similar to what Wei Jianguo said, and the revision of the Dongjiang section of the route was indeed because of Sun Jinping, the vice governor in charge of transportation at the time. Sun Jinping is a native of Daxi Town, Dongjiang County, where he grew up and has feelings for every grass and tree there. Dongjiang County is the economic depression of Haizhou City, and Daxi Town is located in the mountainous area, which is also the economic depression of Dongjiang County, which can be said to be the poorest and most backward township in Haizhou City.

Although he has feelings for his hometown, Vice Governor Sun Jinping is still very principled and rarely gives special attention to his hometown. But when the new Haidong line was designed, it was when Sun Jinping was about to retreat. The leader of Daxi Town went to visit Sun Jinping in the province and said to the old governor, you are not only the biggest official ever seen in Daxi Town, but also the highest-ranking official in the entire history of Daxi Town, which can be said to be the pride of our entire Daxi Town, and the villagers of Daxi Town are also proud of you. The villagers know that the old governor is honest and honest, and he is the most principled, so he never dares to come over and cause you any trouble. Seeing that the old governor was about to retire, the villagers cheekily recommended a few of us to come over and ask the old governor to help him say a word. I heard that a new Haidong line is going to be built in the city, can you help say a word about the new Haidong line, so that the new Haidong line will pass through Daxi? The main reason why Daxi's economy has not been able to go up in recent years is that the transportation is inconvenient. If the new Haidong line can pass through Daxi Town, then Daxi Town will become a pivot point connecting Haizhou and Jiangzhou. With investment, Daxi Town's economy can go up, and the lives of the people can be improved.

The leader of Daxi Town said pitiful and sincere, so that Sun Jinping could not refuse. He sighed and said, "After talking about principles all my life, who knew that I was going to retire, but I was going to violate the principles once." It seems that I am not a good cadre yet! ”

Subsequently, Sun Jinping called Director Song of the Department of Transportation and instructed him to revise the route of the Dongjiang section of the Haidong New Line. The leader in charge spoke, and Director Song of the Department of Transportation was really hard to refuse, especially when the leader in charge was about to retire. Some people don't understand, if the leader in charge is about to retire, wouldn't he not let out a fart anymore, why should he buy his account at this time? In fact, the more you are faced with stepping down from the supervisor, the more your subordinates must give enough respect. Because when he was on stage, he was in a beautiful situation, and once he retired, he faced a fall in power, so there was a huge sense of psychological loss that many old leaders could not bear. So the more they face the threshold of retreat, the more anxious and anxious the old leaders become, at this time, whoever wants to offend them is equivalent to drilling a hole in the volcano that is about to erupt, and the angry magma that rushes to the face is not enough to bury those who caused the volcanic eruption, but it is not good to make a mess and a gray face, right? So at this time, the best choice for smart subordinates is to stay away, what the old leader says, try to be satisfied, otherwise let the leader start a temper...... The final result is that the new Haidong line is re-surveyed and designed, and it makes a bend and passes through Daxi Town, which is not only a distance of 5.5 kilometers away, but also has to build three more bridges and excavate a tunnel, and the construction land has also increased by more than 400 mu compared with the original plan, most of which is high-yield and fertile land, and the project investment in the entire Dongjiang section has also risen from 420 million yuan to 670 million yuan. The construction funds are also in accordance with the principle of the three-three system in accordance with the West Lake section and the Haicheng section, and the Provincial Department of Communications and Haizhou City will each increase their investment by 40 million yuan on the original basis, and the rest will be raised by the local government of Dongjiang County.

Originally, when he heard Wei Jianguo talk about this situation, Zhao Changfeng was still thinking that this was mostly a rumor, and the actual situation might not be as Wei Jianguo had heard. But I never thought that in the end it was really this situation, it was the old governor in charge of transportation, Sun Jinping, who used his influence to modify the line before his retirement, which seemed to be a simple modification, it would be necessary to build three more bridges, a tunnel, occupy more than 400 acres of fertile land, and the country would have to pay an additional price of more than 200 million, which is an amazing waste.

After listening to Chen Xinren's report, Zhao Changfeng was shocked in his heart, but his face was indifferent, he pondered for a while, and said: "Director Chen, you go back and prepare, in the next two days, we will find a time to go to Dongjiang County for a field trip and take both routes." ”

Chen Xinren was shocked, take both routes? Could it be that Mayor Zhao also intends to bring the original design route of the Dongjiang section back to life? This task is even more daunting than building a new line!
