Li Xiaoning looked at the long queue, and couldn't help frowning, looking at this posture, it was almost time to catch up with the crowd of people catching the train for the Spring Festival, if they were lined up one by one, every three or five days, they might not be able to take their turn.

Just when Li Xiaoning was worried, the door of the office in front of him opened, and a man about thirty years old who looked like a secretary walked out, stood at the door and shouted, "Which one is Mayor Li from Pingshan Town?" ”

"I am!" Li Xiaoning hurriedly raised his hand and replied loudly.

"Follow me, Director Zhao will let you in!" The man stepped forward and said, with a hint of deference in his tone.

Seeing Li Xiaoning follow the man into the office, everyone began to discuss, "What is the origin of this Mayor Li?" I was invited in as soon as I arrived. We've been in line for two days. ”

"Who knows where it came from? Anyway, there is a reason. ”

"Is he just a mayor?"

"Don't you look at how young he is, when your brother was his age, he mixed up with the main department?"

"That's it. I looked at him as if he had just graduated. It's already at the level of a regular department, and it's probably a Tai-Zi Party again! ”

"Don't talk nonsense. Will the Tai-Zi Party go down there to be the mayor of the town? I've heard of Pingshan Town, it's Binhai City, no, it's the poorest town in our entire Jiangdong Province. ”

Li Xiaoning did not hear any of these discussions. He had already entered the big office. The secretary rushed to a middle-aged man sitting behind the semicircular boss's desk and said, "Director Zhao, Mayor Li is here." ”

The middle-aged man was Zhao Jinglun, director of the Provincial Department of Transportation, who was sitting on the desk and listening to the secretary's report, but immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile, "Xiaoning is here, sit, please sit." ”

Li Xiaoning was a little stunned, why did these high-ranking officials in the province look very familiar when they saw him? Is it because of Lin Xi's phone call? Who is this Lin Xi? Or who is Lin Xi's father? How can there be such a big face?

Although his heart was full of surprise, Li Xiaoning's face was still very calm and calm, after all, he was also the person who had been Liu Qifeng's secretary, so he would not be at a loss when he saw a department-level cadre, so he just smiled politely, and said without humility or arrogance: "Hello Director Zhao." Our Pingshan Town is a poor place, and I hope that Director Zhao can care more about it. ”

Zhao Jinglun nodded secretly in his heart, this young man is not simple. There are so many cadres at and above the department level outside who are either sycophants or trembling when they come to him, but Li Xiaoning can be calm, and this stability alone is worthy of praise. In the end, it is the son-in-law that Secretary Lin personally fancies, and his future is limitless.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jinglun said heartily: "I also have some understanding of the situation in Pingshan Town, which is one of the few townships in our entire Jiangdong Province that has not been developed. There are many reasons for this, but the main one is because of the poor traffic, which many people know, but no mayor has ever thought of solving this problem. You're a good guy with ideas, and you're a good officer. ”

Li Xiaoning smiled and said, "Director Zhao has won the award. My idea is actually very simple, to serve as an official and benefit one party, otherwise how can I be worthy of the people of this side, and how can I be worthy of the trust of the party and the country? As for building roads, isn't everyone saying that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Pingshan Town is actually rich in natural resources, as long as this road can be built, I am confident that everyone will be lifted out of poverty within five years, no, three years. ”

"Good! Ambitious. For your ambition, I must support you. Zhao Jinglun nodded with satisfaction, and as he spoke, he walked to the desk and picked up the phone and dialed a number, "Hey?" Is Fang Qiang? You bring up the report from Pingshan Town, yes, now! ”

After Director Fang received Zhao Jinglun's call, he also muttered in his heart: He had already shown this report to Zhao Jinglun in the morning, and said that this was the relationship between Zheng Jianhua, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, but Director Zhao still only agreed to allocate 10 million, why did he let himself take the report now? It's true that there will be a change, but is it good or bad?

In fact, Director Fang didn't know that Zhao Jinglun, as the director of the real power department, needed to review the documents every day can be described as a small mountain, most of the texts, he relied on the oral reports of his subordinates to decide the content of the approval, and he didn't even read many of the texts.

When Director Fang came to him with the report in the morning, he neither mentioned Pingshan Town nor Li Xiaoning, but only said that there was a township below that wanted to build a road, and he allocated 30 million yuan, and this person was a good buddy of Zheng Jianhua, secretary of the provincial party committee. Therefore, Director Zhao didn't know that the report he approved in the morning was Li Xiaoning's.

In fact, what Zhao Jinglun made in the morning is definitely very appropriate, although he is in charge of a large amount of funds in the transportation department, but it is not a bank, although there is a lot of money, there are more places to spend money, and there are especially many leaders who greet them. Zheng Jianhua, as the "No. 2 chief" of Jiangdong Province, can't help but sell this face, but Zheng Jianhua is not the real No. 2 chief after all, and 10 million favors are enough.

But Lin Xi came forward in person, and the situation was different. Although Lin Xi did not explicitly say that Li Xiaoning was her boyfriend on the phone, she only mentioned a few words such as "Oh, he is my college classmate" and "My father said that he is a manufacturable talent", Zhao Jinglun is such a "smart" person can understand Li Xiaoning's identity by himself.

After a while, Director Fang hurriedly walked in, and was even more surprised to see Li Xiaoning, and said in his heart that this young man really has great powers, and he actually came directly to Director Zhao. I'm secretly glad I didn't offend him too much last night.

Zhao Jinglun took the report in Director Fang's hand and was stunned, he had already signed this report, and the appropriation was 10 million. Only then did he remember what Director Fang had come to tell him in the morning, and a cold sweat suddenly fell.

There is a reason why Zhao Jinglun feels afraid, is this still difficult to understand? It was clear that Secretary Lin wanted to pave the way for his future son-in-law, so he asked Li Xiaoning to go directly to the provincial department to apply for road repair funds, otherwise which town mayor would have the guts? Like this, Secretary Lin must be inconvenient to come forward by himself, so he asked Zheng Jianhua to do it. What's ridiculous is that he didn't sell other people's face, and only gave 10 million. Therefore, this alarmed Secretary Lin's daughter, who called in person.

The more Zhao Jinglun thought about it, the more he felt that it must be like this, and said secretly, fortunately, there was still time to remedy it, otherwise wouldn't he offend Secretary Lin?

Thinking of this, Zhao Jinglun deliberately got angry and said, "Fang Qiang, how many times have I told you?" Our Department of Transportation's funds are very tight, and we must use it in key places. What is the key place? What is needed most is what is most critical. Binh Son is one of the poorest towns in our Jiangdong province. Why poor? It's because of the poor traffic. Therefore, their road is the most important to be repaired, and it is also the most worth repairing. But why didn't you explain this to me this morning? I almost missed a big thing, so I must pay attention to it next time. ”

Director Fang felt very wronged, but he didn't dare to contradict it, so he could only nod his head and agree. In fact, he also understood in his heart that Zhao Jinglun was actually pretending to scold him, he was suffering for Zhao Jinglun, but this just shows that Zhao Jinglun treats him as his own.

After Zhao Jinglun finished scolding Director Fang, he put pen to paper and gave instructions on the report, and then said to the other director: "Fang Qiang, you have to focus on tracking this report, implement it in place, and ensure that this amount is earmarked, and cannot be intercepted by any level of government without permission." ”

Director Fang had already seen that Li Xiaoning's background was not simple, and he wished he had more opportunities to get close to Li Xiaoning, and after listening to Zhao Jinglun's words, he was overjoyed, snapped his waist, and said: "Boss, don't worry, I will personally handle this money, personally follow up, and ensure that the 30 million and one cents will be handed over to Mayor Li in the shortest possible time." He deliberately said Mayor Li, not Pingshan Town, and he was also taking the opportunity to show favor to Li Xiaoning.

Li Xiaoning is also a smart decision, how can he not understand that Zhao Jinglun and Director Fang are deliberately showing favor to themselves? Therefore, he also took the opportunity to say: "Thank you Director Zhao, the people of Pingshan Town will definitely not forget your great kindness." You can rest assured, I, Li Xiaoning, swear to God that all this money will be used to repair roads, and I will never let a penny fall into the pockets of private individuals. In addition, it would be even better if Director Zhao could take time out of his busy schedule to guide our work. ”

Zhao Jinglun was also very happy to see Li Xiaoning so good, and immediately said to the secretary: "You hurry up and check my itinerary for this month, take some time, and let's go to Pingshan Town." ”

"Director Zhao, then it's decided. I'm waiting for you in Hirayama Town. Li Xiaoning saw that the matter had been settled, so he planned to leave.

"Okay, I'll send you." Zhao Jinglun said.

Li Xiaoning hurriedly said that he didn't dare, but Zhao Jinglun insisted on sending it.

Zhao Jinglun kept sending Li Xiaoning to the elevator before shaking hands with Li Xiaoning and saying goodbye, "Xiaoning! Do a good job, I'm optimistic about you. By the way, the next time you see Secretary Lin, remember to say hello to me. ”

Li Xiaoning's mind "boomed", as if he had been struck by lightning. secretly blamed himself for being so dull: Lin Xi's surname is Lin, and Lin Guodong is also surnamed Lin, why didn't he think of it all the time? Imagine that apart from the daughter of Lin Guodong, the secretary of the provincial party committee, who has so much energy to make the director of the Department of Transportation change his mind with a phone call? What's more, as early as when he was in Dongping County, Ning Wanli and the others already knew his identity as the "son-in-law of the secretary of the provincial party committee". Dare to love himself is the dullest one.

Although his heart had become a mess, Li Xiaoning still said with a polite smile on his face: "Certainly, definitely." Director Zhao stays! ”

After the elevator door closed, Li Xiaoning looked at his image on the stainless steel plate and couldn't help but smile bitterly: Although this misunderstanding is very beautiful, it is a misunderstanding after all. I already have a girlfriend like Cheng Xiaoxi, how can I be with Lin Xi? If you are not with Lin Xi, will you annoy Lin Xi and then offend Lin Guodong? offended Lin Guodong, what future does his career have?

"The road of life is like a long dream, and the wind and frost on the road are dry and ......dry" Li Xiaoning was full of sadness, and he didn't know how to face Lin Xi in the future, but the mobile phone rang.
