Chapter 59: Mayor Town
The day, after a rain, immediately cooled down.
Yu Ranran, under the warm invitation of Zhou's mother, had a sumptuous Dongtian special meal.
As a half foodie, she has eaten a lot of big meals, including many famous restaurants abroad, and the works of some famous chefs in China.
The method of cooking is by no means as complicated as those professional chefs, such as a fish, directly with air-dried fish, cut into small pieces, slightly fried in a pan of oil and slightly golden, sprinkled with chili powder, and it is done.
For example, dried beef, soaked in hot water, then sliced, and stir-fried with dried red peppers......
They are all very simple methods, and they are all very common dishes, but for some reason, when she chewed the dry beef slices in her mouth, the crispy and hard slices of meat quickly softened in her mouth; It is quite chewy to carry on the bite and grinding of the teeth, biting it into shreds and grinding into the end.
At this time, a not-so-strong aroma of beef soaked out of the meat foam, and the taste in the mouth surged up to the tip of the tongue and the tip of the nose, still warm and pure, slowly brewing in the mouth.
It's obviously a bland taste, I don't know why, Yu Ranran just feels that he can't give it up.
Half a bowl of rice was slowly bottomed out between her munching beef.
"Xiao Ran, don't you eat other dishes?" Mother Zhou watched Yu Ranran keep staring at a bowl of beef and eating it, thinking that she had something taboo. Zhou's mother already knew about Yu Ranran and Zhou Yi's acquaintance; Between the words, it is also much more cordial.
"No, it's not. It's just Auntie, your beef is so good. As she spoke, she took a slice of greens to her mouth. Well. The greens are also good. "She likes to eat greens. This is to feel the sweetness, freshness and fragrance that also attracts her in the green vegetables, and involuntarily bias the chopsticks towards the green vegetables.
Zhou's mother is not like other women, for fear that the guests will be embarrassed, and likes to serve dishes to people, but she just said, "You and Zhou Yi are also friends, and you are here with your aunt." You're welcome. β
After the meal, Yu Ranran and Xiao Zhang covered their swollen bellies, lay on the sofa and took a nap for a while, thinking of the planned interview mission, and finally had to leave the comfort zone temporarily.
Walking out of the house, the afterglow after the rain is exceptionally bright, and the softness of the soil under the feet is like pressing a spring, making people jump forward easily.
It was easy to get out of the cave, and the two of them went straight to the imperial court office in Qingshan Town.
As soon as I arrived at the imperial court office, I happened to see a tall middle-aged man. The hair was shiny and shiny, and he was dressed extremely neatly. With a leather bag in his hand, he walked out of the office building in a majestic manner.
"We are reporters from the Imperial Court Channel," Yu Ranran saw the person who came out, and hurriedly walked up and said, "Can I interview you?" β
As soon as the man heard the identity of the other party, he looked at the other party holding the camera, ready to aim at him, like a criminal, facing the police who were about to pull out the gun, without saying a word, the two long legs were like a typhoon, and at a very fast speed that it was difficult for people to catch up, they "walked" outside the door.
Yu Ranran is not a chick. As a part-time reporter for the Minsheng column, she has also encountered various things. She knows very well, especially the people who run away in front of the camera like this, are generally the subjects they want to focus on, and they are likely to be the "victims".
As soon as she saw the middle-aged man like a mouse seeing a cat, she glanced at Xiao Zhang and immediately chased him out. Xiao Zhang also carried the camera and chased after him, and the speed was even a few points faster than Ran Ran.
But unfortunately, the middle-aged man had longer legs and "walked" faster, and was about to disappear around the corner.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Yu Ranran and Xiao Zhang shouted loudly.
On the streets of Qingshan Town, everyone watched a farce, a beautiful woman from other places and a young man with a video camera chased a middle-aged man in leather shoes together. The middle-aged man listened to the sound and walked faster.
Someone recognized the middle-aged man running in front and knew that he was the new mayor.
What caused the new mayor to "hide his face and leave"? Everyone was curious.
"Go away! Hurry up and stop the people in the back! Seeing that he was recognized, the mayor looked at more and more onlookers, and hurriedly pulled a person next to him and said.
This new mayor is not very popular, and there are too many people who don't sell his affection.
The slightly thin and seemingly harmless middle-aged woman who was pulled by him didn't know what was suddenly coming, and grabbed the mayor who was about to "go", "Who are you?" What are people chasing you for? Didn't you do something unseemly! "The woman's small body makes a loud noise, attracting more people's attention.
Mayor Mayor's face turned red, and he didn't know if this woman really didn't know him or if she was specifically against him.
He shook his hand vigorously, and the woman took advantage of the situation to fall to the groundβ"Oh, dead man! My bones are broken! Oh - this waist of mine - " The woman rolled around, but she couldn't pull at his sleeve.
"Oh oh oh, this is going to die!"
"What is this doing, such a big man to bully a woman~"
β¦β¦
Everyone was talking and gathered around, accusing the middle-aged man in the middle of not being the same. and he who knows the cause shall be deemed not to know; And those who don't know follow the coaxing.
At this time, Yu Ranran, who came over, also sorted out his clothes and entered the crowd.
"You're the mayor of Cheongsan Town? I am Yu Ranran, a reporter for the People's Voice column of the Imperial Court Television. Recently, our column has been paying attention to the fact that college students return to their hometowns to start a business and get rich.
Through our online and other aspects, we have paid attention to and learned that you, as the mayor of Qingshan Town, participated in a series of incidents in which the land contracted by Zhou Yi, a college student who returned to his hometown to start a business, was forcibly expropriated and he was arrested and imprisoned.
I would like to ask the mayor whether this land acquisition is reasonable and legal, and whether the land acquisition information can be made public? At the same time, is the payment of compensation normal, and how are you going to compensate for Zhouyi's vineyard?
Some people say that some officials of the imperial court colluded with officials and businessmen of the Changchang Real Estate Company and saw that the Dongtian grapes cultivated by Zhou Yi had development potential. Prepare for 'peach picking'. What do you think?
It is rumored that you have been attacked, Mayor. Because of this, Zhou Yi was imprisoned as a suspect. But now, I see you here in one piece, is there something else wrong with that? Do you think that if Zhou Yi is imprisoned, is it possible that he was wronged or even framed? β
At this time, the new mayor also calmed down.
He looked at the crowd of townsfolk who were "huddled" around him, and looked at the faces of these people with either schadenfreude or numbness or resentment and disgust. After a period of panic in his heart, he calmed down, and secretly said in his heart: Diao Min!
Then he looked at the young and beautiful reporter in front of him, and listened to her merciless questioning, feeling dissatisfied and helpless.
If it was a local TV station, he could have refused the interview altogether. After all, he is helping people to do things, even if he has to carry the black pot, he has to carry it after the fact, and he has to carry it with value and promised benefits. Before that, there was a lot of support from above. He is basically "fearless".
Some time ago, the excitement on the Internet made him really frightened for a while.
If things are not done and the blame is carried out, it is called incompetence; If the matter is completed, and then the blame is back, it is called "bearing the burden of humiliation" and "meritorious service", whether it is in prison, whether it is resignation or falling down, it will come out in a few years, and it will not be difficult to take advantage of this "merit", not to mention going further, and it is not difficult to live a stable and prosperous life.
However, the "subsidence" of online remarks once again made him see the energy of the people behind this matter. At the same time, it also made him more energetic to do this well.
As he imagined, what he wanted was not just a Changchang real estate company in southern Shonan. After the official document of compulsory expropriation issued by him at the beginning caused trouble, soon, the province reissued a land acquisition official document, which turned the land acquisition that was not reasonable and legal into a reasonable and legal matter.
Thinking of the words "reasonable and legal", the new mayor suddenly felt that everything he did was to complete the tasks assigned by his superiors and to make the people live a better life, which was just and legitimate.
He suddenly couldn't figure it out: why should I run? The body is not afraid of the shadow slanting!
Thinking so in his heart, his slightly arched back became more and more straight, and the whole person, the momentum exuded, and even the discussion of the people next to him was quiet.
"Oh - it turned out that Comrade Reporter wanted to interview me just now! I just thought of something urgent, I was in a hurry to leave, I didn't hear, sorry - sorry! Looking at the trimmed face, the two mustaches are still curled and warped; Two words of apology, stretching and shrinking his head, like a big king.
"Look, there are so many people on the street, and we are standing here, not blocking traffic! Why don't we change places? β
Yu Ranran looked at a group of people standing on the side of the road, a road that was not too wide, half blocked by the crowd, it was really not good. But when she saw the smiling appearance of the person in front of her, she didn't have the panic just now, and seemed to be confident, which always made her feel that there was some conspiracy.
"Just let me see what other schemes you have!" She thought to herself, and was about to say yes.
The thin woman who grabbed the new mayor and rolled around in the first place said, "Come and sit in my shop." I don't have anyone there, it's pure. β
Before Yu Ranran could answer, the mayor immediately said, "Okay! This comrade reporter and I will go to your place to sit down and inspect the people's situation. β
Yu Ranran looked at the changes before and after the mayor of the town, and still had doubts in his heart, and the mayor of the town had already sat down in the store.
"Comrade journalist, just ask if you have anything! Our court officials are all subject to the supervision of the masses! I see that the masses here may have some misunderstanding about me, the new mayor of the town, and about me personally, but it is through Comrade Reporter that everyone can understand whether our court is a court serving the people; Personally, whether I am serving my own interests or the interests of the masses? β
The words are very good, and they are very atmospheric, and there is no evasion between the words of those people Yu Ranran has seen before, but his two-handed, upturned beard is more and more eye-catching; The change in attitude before and after is even more suspicious.
She repeated the question she had just asked.
"Your first question is really a mistake on the part of our government departments - not making the land acquisition information public as soon as possible. Soon after I got out of the hospital, I started to deal with it right away. I hope that all the masses will know that we, the imperial court, will not be afraid of the supervision of the masses and are willing to accept the supervision of the masses.
As for the compensation for land requisition, at first we thought that it was ordinary agricultural land, and it was all compensated according to cultivated land. This is also our mistake, and we will negotiate and resolve it as soon as possible. I am here, as the mayor of Qingshan Town, to tell everyone that we will never let the people suffer! β
When he said this, he stood up and looked at the crowd outside, his eyes full of sincerity. Perhaps, even he doesn't know the truth of what he said at this moment.
The masses outside, some people still disdain, but some people were moved by his "sincerity" that had surpassed his acting skills, and began to wonder in their hearts whether there was indeed some misunderstanding, maybe this mayor was not as "colluding with officials and businessmen" and "making profits for themselves" as they thought.
Even the mayor of the town did not expect that at this moment, he had successfully completed the transformation from a "court clerk" to a "real politician".
He looked at the reporter in front of him, and his tone became more and more calm and relaxed, "Comrade reporter, I have a negative attitude towards the statement 'picking peaches'. β
"As a multi-billion dollar real estate company, it's impossible to go out of your way for a small vineyard; At the same time, as a real estate company, unless you want to change careers and enter the planting industry, you can't talk about such a thing as 'peach picking'.
Besides, the real estate company you mentioned, as far as I know, has invested a huge amount of money in our Ping'an County. Qingshan Town can only be counted as one of them. I don't think it's a so-called 'peach picking'. Is such a 'peach' worth the effort and money they spend? As he spoke, he was already in the mood to watch the beautiful face and slender figure of the beautiful reporter in front of him.
The townspeople couldn't help but nod when they heard the mayor's words, it seemed that this was indeed the case. However, there is always a doubt in their hearts, and they always feel that something is wrong.
Yu Ranran keenly noticed the lack of the mayor's words, sneered in his heart, and said secretly: I thought there were any hole cards. Unexpectedly, ignorance is a blessing!
Her face remained unchanged, her words were still slow, and she said: "As far as I know, the 'small vineyard' in your mouth, last year, you sold grapes alone, and made a profit of more than 200 million!" The wine made by Zhou Yi has now been sold to France, and it is in short supply and priceless! β
"200 million" and "sold to France", these words and sentences not only stunned the mayor in front of Yu Ranran, but also shocked all the people around.
It's not that no one has helped Zhou Yi calculate the value of those grapes, but no one can think or dare to think that grape cultivation has such a big benefit!
The profit of 200 million is almost unimaginable in this small township!
Selling wine to France is an unthinkable thing!
No one expected that a grower in the mountains would suddenly get rich and suddenly make a profit of hundreds of millions, and suddenly, he would sell things abroad......
Everyone's heated discussion became hot, and for a while, the ugly face and cold heart of the mayor in the store hall were drowned.
The mayor of the town should probably rejoice, because of this news, no one pays attention to him for the time being, and no one "watches" his embarrassment......
The only thing he wanted to do now was to escape from this place, to escape into the crowd, to leave this place of right and wrong. (To be continued......)
