I saw Duan Zetao walking down from the No. 2 car of the city government with a smile on his face, and Fang Dongmin behind him took out two large flower baskets from the trunk of the car very quickly, and then many officials of the city government also walked down from other cars, hugging Duan Zetao and walking towards the shoeshine shop, and the secretaries behind them all carried two large flower baskets in their hands.

Xie Guinong, Xiao Sanzi and others couldn't believe their eyes, Duan Zetao was the mayor of a city, he must be very busy, but he remembered such a trivial matter as the opening of his shoeshine shop, it can be seen that his heart is indeed always pretending to be the people, this is the good mayor of the people! Xie Guinong's eyes were a little moist.

The small store was suddenly crowded with people, "Brother Guinong, congratulations, the opening is auspicious, and the wealth is wide!" I'm going to do your business ...... today", Duan Zetao arched his hand at Xie Guinong with a smile on his face, and waved to the city government officials behind him: "Shoeshine, shoeshine, I invite everyone to shine shoes, two yuan a pair, everyone try the craftsmanship of Comrade Xie Guinong, a national model worker, and everyone will come here if they want to shine shoes in the future!" ......", said Duan Zetao sat on the shoeshine chair next to him, and helped Xie Guinong advertise by the way.

Xie Guinong was still stunned there, Duan Zetao patted Xie Guinong's shoulder hard, and said with a smile: "What, Boss Xie, you don't do business at the door!" ”。“ Eh, eh, Mayor Duan, sit down, I promise to polish your shoes as ...... as if you bought them newly", Xie Guinong came to his senses, brushed his sleeves and wiped his moist eyes, and squatted down to help Duan Zetao polish his shoes.

Seeing that Duan Zetao really sat down to shine his shoes, he exchanged glances with each other, and they all sat down to polish their shoes.

"This Mayor Duan is really interesting, he actually came here to shine his shoes in person, it seems that this is really a good mayor who cares about our people! ……”。

"I don't think so, maybe the new mayor just wants to put on a show, don't the current officials like to do this? ......", there was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and there was nothing to say.

At this time, some people with cameras and video cameras suddenly squeezed out of the crowd, and they kept taking pictures of Duan Zetao, they were all reporters from TV stations and newspapers, and they were also notified by Duan Zetao.

Duan Zetao waved his hand at those reporters and said: "Don't shoot me, if you want to shoot this shoe-shining Comrade Xie Guinong, he is a national model worker, his Red Star Factory is now facing a predicament, and he can't pay wages, Comrade Xie Guinong They didn't complain, they didn't "wait, rely on, want", they chose the road of starting their own business, this 'model worker shoe-shine chain store' was opened by him and several laid-off worker brothers, you must vigorously publicize ...... such deeds."

Xie Guinong, who bent over to shine his shoes, blushed like a tomato, and was extremely excited, he knew that Duan Zetao was helping him with free advertising, and he didn't know how to express his gratitude to Duan Zetao, so he had to continue to polish his shoes hard, but the violently shaking shoulders betrayed his excited mood at this time.

Wang Lijuan was helping in the shoeshine shop at this time, she had been silently watching Duan Zetao who was swaying freely, a strange color flashed in her eyes, and her heart, which had been silent for a long time, also rippled......

The next day, the front page of the Hongxing City Daily published a news item titled "The Mayor Takes the Municipal Government Cadres to Collectively Shine Their Shoes and Encourage the Laid-off Workers to Start a Business Again", and a large photo of Duan Zetao talking with Xie Guinong with a smile on his face was attached next to it.

This news with great news selling points was quickly reprinted by many newspapers across the country, and Duan Zetao was greatly out of the limelight again, and the picture of Duan Zetao's shoeshine was also taken by citizens and uploaded to the Internet, and the number of hits exceeded two million times in one day, which also caused heated discussions among netizens, strongly supporting Duan Zetao, saying that he is a good mayor who sincerely serves the people, and some say that he is to hype himself up to be in the limelight, and there are different opinions.

However, an indisputable fact is that Xie Guinong's 'model worker shoe-shine chain' business is indeed very good, and the citizens are rushing to this shoe-shine shop where the mayor has come to shine shoes.

At the same time, the city government has introduced a series of encouraging policies, and laid-off workers choose to start their own businesses. For enterprises that are willing to accept laid-off workers, the municipal government will also give certain preferential policies.

There are also many media in and outside the province to Hongxing City to investigate, digging deep into the story behind this news, the most influential media in China "Southern Weekly" published an in-depth feature, "Is the Shoeshine Mayor a show?" The article objectively describes the evaluation of Duan Zetao by laid-off workers, as well as a series of actions launched by Hongxing City for the reemployment of laid-off workers, and believes that Hongxing City has set an example for the whole country in the reemployment of laid-off workers.

Shi Liang, secretary of the provincial party committee, read the report, showed a smile on his face for the first time, and sighed: "This Duan Zetao can always drum up some new fame, this limelight is good, maybe he can really solve the problem of the Red Star Factory, but it's a pity that it's ......."

Governor Chu Tianxiong read the report and happily called Duan Zetao, "Zetao, well done, I will let the provincial finance squeeze out another five million for you to subsidize laid-off workers to start their own businesses, this is to spend a little money to do a big thing, can solve the problem of laid-off workers' employment, is to solve the big trouble for the province, I will call on other cities to learn from Hongxing City ......."

Zhu Changsheng, secretary of the municipal party committee, read the report, his face was gloomy, Duan Zetao's limelight had overshadowed him, the secretary of the municipal party committee, and he felt a headache for the first time in the face of this strong and flamboyant opponent.

The reporters also tried to interview Duan Zetao, the focus of the news, but they were all blocked without exception, and the purpose of promoting the reemployment of laid-off workers has been achieved, and Duan Zetao also understands the truth that he is too late, not to mention that his original intention is not to hype himself up in the limelight.

At this time, another good news came, Liu Junren happily told Duan Zetao that Xiang Shaobo, the president of Sanshan Heavy Industry, was very interested in the cooperation with Red Star Heavy Industry Group, and would come to Red Star City in person to discuss cooperation matters in the near future......
