Located in the east of the city center, the Tianhai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government Building is a majestic 16-storey building, with thick granite columns, delicate white marble railings, multi-storey steps, and wide and neat garden lawns, all of which show the identity and grandeur of this building.

The 12th floor of the building faces south, there is an office of about 30 square meters, rosewood decorative walls, multi-level ceilings, gold teak floors and wool carpets on the floor, and the rooms are equipped with exquisite workmanship dark mahogany bookcases, desks, leather sofas, spider plants, pothos and other potted plants, bringing a little vitality. On the wall at the back of the desk hangs a pair of words that read:

Bamboo cane and mango shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid, a cloud of smoke and rain Ren Pingsheng.

A middle-aged man in a gray suit, Chapter 51 The troubles of the deputy mayor of He, a middle-aged man in his forties with a Chinese character face was sitting on a leather high-back office chair, his lips were pursed, his thick sword eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he rubbed his temples with his right index finger, as if he was bothered by something.

Bumper bump, a soft knock on the door sounded.

"Please come in." The middle-aged man put down his right hand and said.

The solid wooden door was gently pushed open, and an elegant man in his thirties, wearing glasses, walked in, holding a folder in his hand.

"Mayor He, this is the minutes of yesterday's meeting."

"Oh, Xiaolin, put it here." The middle-aged man gestured to the corner of the large desk.

Secretary Lin nodded, put the folder on the desk, then turned to leave, and gently closed the door.

The middle-aged man didn't seem interested in the minutes, he stood up and slowly paced to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the scenery outside. The curtains were half opened, and the warm sunlight shone in, making people feel warm on their bodies, but it didn't seem to dispel the gloom in his heart.

It has been confirmed that Mayor Chen will be transferred in the middle of the year, and he has revealed that the new mayor will not be transferred from outside. This is a great opportunity to make himself, the fifty-first chapter in charge of industry, the troubles of the deputy mayor of He, very hopeful, go further. But the competition is also fierce, especially the young and strong Vice Mayor Qian, which is very tricky.

The political achievements accumulated over the years still have no advantages, and the project of the Australian Jiang Consortium Biopharmaceutical Factory, which was originally pinned on high hopes, is also in trouble at present, and there are great variables. Director Xia of China Merchants is still working hard.

What's missing out? Vice Mayor He fell into deep thought.

The knock on the door rang again.

Secretary Lin pushed open the door.

"Mayor He, Director Xia is here."

Before he could finish speaking, a man in his fifties, with a thin face and obvious bags under his eyes, walked into the office.

"Lao Xia, come, sit, sit." Vice Mayor He greeted with a smile.

Director Xia and Vice Mayor He sat down on the leather sofa, and Secretary Lin took out the pastel fine magnetic tea set in the cabinet to make tea for the two.

"Lao Xia, drink tea first, and then talk about work." Vice Mayor He raised his hand.

Director Xia nodded, picked up the bowl of tea and took a sip. The brow furrowed slightly, imperceptibly.

But this did not escape the keen eyes of Vice Mayor He.

"What? Lao Xia, this is the best Biluo Spring I have here, not to taste? ”

Director Xia was a little embarrassed.

"No, no, this tea is very good, but I saw it a few days ago."

"Oh, it must be quite good to get your praise from Lao Xia." Vice Mayor He was slightly surprised.

"Hehe, the tea in that place is really good." Director Xia said with a smile, but felt that it was not idle to come over today, so he immediately introduced the conversation to the main topic.

"Mayor He, I'm here to report on the affairs of the Jiang Consortium in Australia, and the current situation is not ideal."

"Tell me more about it." Vice Mayor He said lightly.

"Chenyang City has sent someone to take the members of the delegation over and take a turn, and promised to give the most preferential policies, after all, it is a project of five or six billion, who is not red-eyed. When it comes to infrastructure and the investment environment, the gap between us and others is not small. I learned that except for Mr. Jiang, the other members of the delegation seemed to be biased towards Chenyang City. Director Xia said, his face a little gloomy.

"Mr. Jiang was born in Ningsha County, can't he take advantage of this to play the emotional card? Most of these overseas Chinese who have left their homeland still have feelings for their hometown, after all, one side of the water and soil supports the other side. Vice Mayor He's face gradually darkened.

"Our bureau has thought of this for a long time, as soon as Mr. Jiang came, he said that he wanted to go to Ningsha County to have a look, and we sent someone to send them there a few days ago. However, alas, the first two county magistrates of Ningsha County patronized the economy to make political achievements, and the old villages and mountains and forests where Mr. Jiang lived when he was a child have long been bulldozed and engaged in real estate. The Xiaochao River next to it was also polluted by factory wastewater, and I heard that Mr. Jiang was very unhappy at that time. Director Xia said with a bitter face.

"These bastard things! Lack of success, more than failure! Vice Mayor He's face was angry, and he slapped the coffee table, startling Director Xia.

There was a moment of silence in the office.

After a long time, Vice Mayor He's mood slowly calmed down, and he leaned back on the sofa to continue the topic just now.

"Lao Xia, you focus on Mr. Jiang's work, we give the most preferential policies, as for environmental issues, you tell him, now our municipal party committee and municipal government have attached great importance to it, and will improve it as soon as possible, and Ningsha County will be in the front." Also, you told him that Ningsha County is an economically backward county, and the villagers are living in poverty, and the development is inseparable from them, who were born and raised in their hometowns. ”

Director Xia nodded in understanding.

"I will try my best to fight for it, Mr. Jiang's words in the Jiang consortium still work, if he can insist, I believe his son, daughter and other shareholders should not oppose too fiercely."

After speaking, Director Xia got up to say goodbye, and Secretary Lin opened the door to send him out.

Vice Mayor He sighed slightly, returned to his desk, and picked up the minutes of the meeting and looked at it.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

At night, in a luxury suite on the 20th floor of Tianhai Hotel, the most high-end five-star hotel in Tianhai City, there is a hair beard

The old man, who was white, with slightly high cheekbones and crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, stood in front of the window with a rosewood cane, staring at the bright night scene of Tianhai City with deep eyes.

How many years have passed, he can't remember how many times he left this land when he was a teenager and dreamed of returning to his hometown.

"When the young and the young leave home, the hometown accent has not changed, the sideburns have declined, the children do not know each other, and they smile and ask where the guests come from." The old man muttered the poem.

However, Ning Sha is no longer what he remembers. The old man sighed deeply.

With a squeak, the door was pushed open, and a bright-eyed girl in a beige sweater walked in.

"Grandpa, why do you wear so little, what should I do if I catch a cold? Dad will blame me then. The girl complained, picking up a coat from the sofa and draping it over the old man.

"Grandpa, what are you looking at?" The girl asked.

"Tingting, looking from here, it's the direction of Ningsha." The old man said slowly.

"Ningsha? Didn't we go there the other day? There's something good there, it's messy everywhere, even the river stinks, and I don't want to go a second time. The girl pouted and said dissatisfied.

The old man shook his head and stopped talking, with a hint of helpless sadness in his eyes!!
