Chu Tianshu smiled and said, "Brother Ma, the weather is too stuffy, let's watch them breathe." ”

"Okay, okay." Ma Xingwang agreed with a little embarrassment.

"Brother Ma, what do you want to drink?" Chu Tianshu greeted.

"No need, Xiao Chu, this is in Nanling County, it should be me, the host, who is here to greet you." Ma Xingwang rushed to get the kettle to fetch water.

"It's not going to be done." Chu Tianshu stopped him, put him on the sofa in the living room, and asked very casually, "Brother Ma, where is the county magistrate?" ”

"Oh, he's going to Secretary Huang's room to report to work." Ma Xingwang smiled and pulled Chu Tianshu to sit down together.

The two of them chatted a few words, and Ma Xingwang received a call from Fu Damu, saying that the time was almost up, and it was time to invite the city leaders to dinner.

When he got up, Ma Xingwang took out a thick envelope and stuffed it at the head of the bed.

Chu Tianshu had been on guard from the moment he came in and was about to close the door, he hurriedly pressed Ma Xingwang's hand and said, "Brother Ma, the little brother has received it, you have to take back the envelope." ”

When he said this, Chu Tianshu had a smile on his face, and his tone was very relaxed, but his attitude was very resolute.

The door is open, not suitable for tugging.

Ma Xingwang pretended to be unhappy and said, "Brother Chu, you look down on your brother. ”

Chu Tianshu was stronger than Ma Xingwang, he forcibly stuffed the envelope back into Ma Xingwang's pocket, and said sincerely: "Brother Ma, what you said is too outward. If I have something to ask Brother Ma for help, should I do the same? ”

"Oh? Xiao Chu, you have to look down on my old horse, if you have any orders, just say directly, and the old horse will do his best. Ma Xingwang didn't seem to be joking when he heard Chu Tianshu, but was a little frightened, after all, Chu Tianshu was Yi Haitao's envoy, and his instructions were equivalent to Yi Haitao's instructions.

"Brother Ma, let's talk about it after dinner, okay?" Chu Tianshu didn't allow Ma Xingwang to refuse, and pulled him out of the room.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, Ma Xingwang had no scruples, and still quickly stuffed the thick envelope into Chu Tianshu's pants pocket, his skillful technique and swiftness were almost comparable to that of a magician.

After completing the magic trick, Ma Xingwang happily distanced himself from Chu Tianshu and led the way in front.

In the corridor, the people of the condolence group came out in twos and threes.

Chu Tianshu found that every member of the condolence group was accompanied by the staff of the relevant counterpart departments in Nanling County. Seeing Ma Xingwang and Chu Tianshu coming, they all stopped, turned to the side slightly, and let the leaders go first.

In this case, Chu Tianshu couldn't pull and pull with Ma Xingwang anymore, so he had to follow him to the largest luxury private room in the guest house.

In fact, as soon as Chu Tianshu entered the guest house, he found that the interior decoration and reception specifications of the Nanling County Guest House were quite high, which was not much inferior to the Qingyuan Villa in the city.

Obviously, Nanling County has such a high-end guest house and such a high-end restaurant, which is absolutely inconsistent with its current economic development scale and financial revenue.

Who made the face project here so ahead of its time? Who is it that makes the level of hospitality here so high?

Moreover, Nanling County, as a provincial-level poverty-stricken county, is still actively applying for a national-level poverty-stricken county.

Chu Tianshu once heard that the higher the level of reception in a place, the more times the leaders came, and the more difficult it was to expose the problems in the deep-seated areas.

Since ancient times, behind the high-level reception in China, it is often controlled by an iron bucket to prevent the situation from being exposed or sent to the top, or bribing the royal cat to feed the royal cat into a giant rat, or framing and dyeing the white bi into black charcoal, or bribing the courtiers to restrain the supervisors, or secretly creating incidents to hurt people and kill people; All kinds of thick black methods are treacherous and mysterious, and there are many records in the official history and wild history.

It is difficult to say that the extravagance of officialdom will not expand into the glitz and extravagance of society.

In the luxurious private room, there are three large round tables.

Seeing the delicacies and game that were constantly being served, and the high-end cigarettes and liquor on the table, Chu Tianshu couldn't help but look into the dark distance through the glass window of the private room and through the neon-lit county town, and a wave of anger in his heart was slowly gathering.

Is it a place where the villagers work day and night?

When these parents and officials were toasting the condolence group, was the problem of the people in the disaster area solved?

The wine and food were all together, and Fu Damu pulled Huang Rushan to sit on the seat.

Huang Rushan insisted on his resignation, saying that Nanling County should fulfill the friendship of landlords, and the leaders of the county must sit on the main seat.

Fu Damu watched the horse prosper.

Ma Xingwang smiled awkwardly and did not speak.

"That's okay, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." Fu Damu pulled out the seat of the main seat and said to Ma Xingwang: "Secretary Ma, then our party and government are responsible for the division of labor." I am responsible for accompanying Secretary-General Huang, and you are responsible for accompanying Director Chu. ”

After speaking, he sat on the seat of the main seat with a big thorn, and the left and right winds were Huang Rushan and Chu Tianshu, and Ma Xingwang was squeezed into the seat of the main escort.

The members of the condolence group seem to feel a little strange about this arrangement, and in terms of position, it should be Ma Xingwang, secretary of the county party committee, who sits on the main seat.

However, the cadres of Nanling County were not surprised, and they pulled the members of the condolence group to sit down in turn.

The wine glass was full, Fu Damu picked it up, and said loudly: "Come, Secretary-General Huang, Director Chu, on behalf of more than one million men, women and children in Nanling County, I would like to toast you with a glass, and thank you for your tireless efforts to bring us funds and policies to send us warmth." ”

With that, he tilted his head and did it.

Huang Rushan smiled and did it too.

Ma Xingwang immediately lit up the bottom of the cup.

When he arrived at Chu Tianshu, he didn't move.

Fu Damu held up the empty cup and persuaded, "Director Chu, it's your turn." ”

Chu Tianshu held the wine glass in one hand, didn't look like he wanted to drink it at all, and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Fu, your wine is respected on behalf of more than one million men, women and children in Nanling County, where can you afford it." ”

Fu Damu smiled and said, "Director Chu, you are too polite. Secretary-General Huang and you are the plenipotentiary representative of Mayor Yi, and we are here to express our condolences to the people of the county. ”

Chu Tianshu still said with a leisurely face: "No, what we came to visit is the five or six townships and towns that were affected by the disaster in Nanling County, and more than one million people in the county suddenly appeared, and we naturally can't afford it." ”

At the wine table, many people don't drink too well, or the scene is too warm, it is estimated that they can't stand it, and they will find all kinds of excuses not to drink, but the amount of alcohol is no longer good, and the first glass of the host is generally to drink, otherwise it will be too bad for the host.

Fu Damu originally had a lot of opinions about Chu Tianshu's suggestion to use the 1 million assistance money as the start-up capital of the supply and marketing cooperative, but now he saw that he did not follow the rules of the wine table, and he refuted his face as soon as he came up, and he was very unhappy.

He walked up to Chu Tianshu with a glass and said, "Director Chu, I said wine at the wine table, I hope you don't care too much." Although there are only five or six townships and towns in Nanling County that have been affected by the disaster, the whole county has benefited from one disaster, and it is reasonable for me to salute this first cup on behalf of the people of the county. ”

Chu Tianshu said with a smile: "County Magistrate Fu, what does it mean that a disaster is affected and the whole county benefits?" For a reason, I can't drink even three glasses of this wine, and if the reason is not sufficient, I can't drink a drop of this wine. ”

The guest and the host fight over wine, which is the most common scene at the banquet.

However, it was a stalemate as soon as it came up, and this kind of scene is rare.

Chu Tianshu couldn't drink this glass of wine, and the others couldn't drink it first, so they could only watch the excitement with the cup.

Fu Damu looked around the audience and said with a smile: "This flood came in time!" With this flood, Nanling County's goal of declaring a national-level poor county this year can be achieved. That's why I said that some places in the county have been hit by disasters, and the people of the whole county can benefit, and everyone says, right? ”

"Yes!" In the big private room, the cadres of Nanling County replied in unison, and the noise could almost tear off the roof.

Next Olympics! What a fucking bullshit reason to do this!

Poverty-stricken counties at the national level have national financial allocations for poverty alleviation every year, and enjoy preferential policies stipulated by the state in many fields such as education, culture, and investment promotion, and at the same time, governments at all levels, from the central to the local level, will carry out poverty alleviation in a variety of ways.

For example, the more developed eastern region provides counterpart support to the western region, which is called "east-west poverty alleviation cooperation"; Carry out labor transfer training, known as "rain and dew planning". Some large enterprises, schools and non-profit organizations will also give priority to various kinds of support for poor counties, which is called "social poverty alleviation".

For example, Zuoquan County in Shanxi, Shangnan County in Shaanxi, Yanshan County in Hebei, Shangcheng County in Henan and many other national-level poor counties have spent huge sums of money to build cemeteries, villas, luxury office buildings and other incidents have been exposed by the media, but the luxury style is still repeatedly banned, and people seem to be accustomed to the "luxury" behavior of these "poor counties".

Striving to be a national-level poor county has almost become a political achievement of some county leaders in private, but it is too shameless to use it as a rhetoric like Fu Damu.

Everyone's eyes were staring at Chu Tianshu, thinking that he had nothing to say at this time, so he could only toast.

"I can't drink this wine!" Chu Tianshu's face turned pale, and he put down the wine glass.

Fu Damu also restrained his smile, and stared at Chu Tianshu sharply: "What is it for?" ”

Seeing that both the guest and the host were screaming vigorously, the atmosphere in the entire private room suddenly became tense and silent.

"County Magistrate Fu, as the main leader of Nanling County, you are not ashamed of 'poverty', but proud of 'poverty', no wonder more than ten years have passed, Nanling County is still a poor county." Chu Tianshu said sternly: "In order to help Nanling County get rid of poverty and become rich, the provincial and municipal governments have invested hundreds of millions of yuan worth of financial and material resources over the past ten years. We can't help but ask, where did all these tens of millions of dollars go? How long will Nanling County be 'poor'? ”

The series of questions was loud and deafening, and everyone present was shocked.
