Driving, driving, the car fell into a big mud pit and turned off, the driver didn't fire a few times, so he had to helplessly turn back to Chen Daomin and say with a bitter face: "Boss, the car is off!" ”。

At this time, the people in the cars followed behind were panicked, Ma Fugui and others ran over despite the rain outside, some rushed to hold an umbrella for Chen Daomin, and some rolled up their sleeves to prepare to push the cart, but one car was very deep, and the other was that these people were usually pampered and pampered, how could they do this physical work, but they were all covered in mud and water, but the car still did not move.

Suddenly, there was a sound of gongs and drums in front, and everyone was surprised, only to see a large group of people walking out of the black pressure at the bend in front, afraid that there were hundreds of people, they beat gongs and drums, and also played a huge banner "Thank you to the leaders of the Provincial Department of Transportation for sending warmth to the countryside!" With a sincere smile on their faces, the cold rain did not dampen their enthusiasm in the slightest.

Everyone was stunned, Chen Daomin was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and pointed at Duan Zetao with his finger and said, "Okay, you little duan, what kind of tricks are you playing?" ……”。

Duan Zetao spread his hands and said aggrievedly: "Chen Hall, it really wasn't arranged by me, it may have been organized by the common people spontaneously, let me ask." ”。

Duan Zetao walked over, winked at Li Dafu who was walking in the front, and pretended to be stern: "Li Dafu, what the hell are you doing!" Who let you come?! ”。

Li Dafu straightened his chest and said loudly: "Township Chief Duan, the villagers are very happy to hear that the leaders of the Provincial Department of Transportation are going to build roads for us, and they spontaneously organized to send a plaque to the leaders of the Provincial Department of Transportation!" As he spoke, he waved his hand back, and several villagers carried a plaque with four big characters on it: "Benefiting the Li people".

The villagers' actions seem to be a bit exaggerated, but they are scratching Chen Daomin's itch, he realized that this is a good time to put on a show, he pushed away the umbrella that Director Ma held for him, stepped forward, crossed his waist with his left hand, waved his right hand, and said loudly: "Folks, I came to Shanglin Township today, and the car was stuck in this muddy field, only to know that I was late and made the villagers suffer!" On behalf of the Provincial Department of Communications, I will make a statement and recover 10 million ...... of road repair funds to Lushanglin Township."

Speaking of emotion, Chen Daomin actually shed tears, of course, whether these tears are sincere or a show is only known to him, and the reporters were also moved, holding up the camera "crackling" and taking pictures non-stop.

The villagers' palms were red, they were so happy, they finally didn't have to walk the bad road, Duan Zetao took the opportunity to step forward and said: "Folks, Director Chen came to see us, the car got stuck in the mud, how about we carry the car out together!" ”。

The villagers responded violently, and the number of people was large, and the car got out of the mud pit in three times and two times, and the rain stopped at this time, but Chen Daomin refused to take the car again, and insisted on being accompanied by the villagers to complete the rest of the journey.

Chen Daomin didn't take the car, and the others were not easy to sit, so they had to accompany him, so there was a strange scene of hundreds of people walking in front and more than a dozen cars slowly following behind on Shanglin Township Road.

The polished leather shoes were full of mud, and there was water inside, just when everyone was miserable, Duan Zetao magically got dozens of pairs of rain boots for everyone to change into, which made everyone have a little more affection for this township chief with a mysterious background.

At noon, Duan Zetao arranged to eat a peasant meal in Li Laigen's restaurant on the edge of the Qujiang River, and Chen Daomin, who was accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, praised this authentic farmhouse taste, and his mood became very refreshed.

Duan Zetao took the opportunity to report his plan to the leaders, he pointed to the beautiful scenery outside the window and said excitedly: "I want to ask Director Chen to come here again in three years, this place will be completely different in three years, all thanks to Director Chen for building this road for us!" ”。

Chen Daomin smiled and said: "Okay, I will definitely come in three years, Zetao, you are very good, being the head of the township in this small place is a bit condescending, are you interested in coming to the Transportation Department, I will let you be the deputy director." ”。

If Chen Daomin still looked at Li Mei's face before, but at this time, he really appreciated Duan Zetao's talent and wanted to recruit talents, and everyone also looked at Duan Zetao with hot eyes, the Department of Transportation was originally the oil and water department, and he became the deputy director of the Department of Transportation in his twenties, which is a good thing that many people can't dream of!

"Xie Lu Xie Chen Hall is very kind, I want to lose a half-pulled project here, the people want to scold my mother, and I don't want my hard work to be abandoned halfway!" To everyone's surprise, Duan Zetao actually refused.

Chen Daomin didn't care either, and looked at Duan Zetao more and more in his heart, this young man has lofty ambitions! He joked: "It seems that the pool of the traffic hall is still too small to fit your big dragon!" But at any time, the doors of the traffic hall will be open to you! ”。

Chen Daomin and his entourage returned satisfied, and the first grant was quickly in place, Duan Zetao was busy contacting the design institute for preliminary survey and design, and suddenly received a call from Xie Shishan.

"Brother Zetao, you are so calm! Do you know the way, you are now famous in one fell swoop, and everyone in the world knows you! My phone is about to burst, and it's all asking me who Duan Zetao is, haha! Xie Shishan on the other end of the phone was very excited, and his voice was so loud that it almost burst Duan Zetao's eardrums.

Duan Zetao was almost faint in the past few days, and he didn't react for a while, and asked inexplicably: "Brother Shishan, what's going on?" ”。

"Do you remember the article you gave me last time, our editor-in-chief admired it very much, it was published on the front page of the Economic Daily, which caused a lot of repercussions in the academic circles, but you also have to be mentally prepared, now many experts think that you are alarmist, grandstanding, and have published articles criticizing you."

Duan Zetao's current mood is also mixed, the good thing is that his views have attracted attention, which should help the country deal with the crisis next year, and the worry is that if his identity in reality is exposed, it will inevitably cause trouble to himself.

He hurriedly said to Xie Shishan: "Brother Shishan, you must keep my identity secret for me, otherwise I will die an ugly death." ”。

Xie Shishan said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't betray my brother, but I think it's a good thing that your identity is known to people, and now cadres who understand the economy are very popular." ”

As soon as he hung up Xie Shishan's phone, Li Mei's phone came again, "Tao, did you write that article in the Economic Daily?" I knew it was you! I'm at home, my dad was still boasting that this article was written very insightfully, I don't know if he will praise you if he knows that Lu Dao was written by his future son-in-law, hehe......".

The two of them made porridge on the phone for a while, and then hung up the phone, and then Wang Guodong, Shi Tao and others also called to ask about the Economic Daily article, Duan Zetao explained them one by one, and asked them to keep their real identities secret, hung up the phone, the mobile phone was hot, Duan Zetao wiped a handful of sweat, he didn't expect that the response to this article would be so big, he is famous, but I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, I don't know if it's a blessing, I don't need to publish it with my real name.

Zhongnanhai, an old man who can often be seen on TV is reviewing documents, he finished approving the documents, rubbed his temples, and picked up a few newspapers that must be read every day next to him and read them, the article of Duan Zetao on the Economic Daily quickly attracted his attention, he read it several times, picked up the pen and made annotations on it, thought for a while, and called the secretary outside in.

"Xiao Wang, this article is well written, very pre-insightful, I have made instructions on it, you take it to ask the experts of the Development Research Center to discuss it, and come up with a preliminary opinion, there are indeed hidden dangers in the economic development model in Southeast Asia, we should prepare early, the author of this article, you should also pay attention to it, if possible, you can invite him to participate in the seminar."

Zhao Xiangyang, secretary of the provincial party committee, also saw this article, "Hey, Duan Zetao, this name is very familiar, I remember, wasn't the young township chief who sold citrus last time called Duan Zetao?" ”。

His secretary Huang Yunlong was sorting out the documents for him, and when he heard the words, he stretched out his head to look at the signature on the newspaper, Huang Yunlong has always been above the top, the last time he saw Zhao Xiangyang praising Duan Zetao at the conference, he was a little unpleasant to see Duan Zetao, so he said: "Maybe it's the same name, how can the township chief of a small place publish such a highly professional article in the central-level media!" ”。

Zhao Xiangyang was right to think about it, so he didn't say anything more, but he paid attention to the author of this article in his heart, what he lacked now was cadres who understood the economy, and he thought about asking again when he saw Duan Zetao.

Duan Zetao's article caused a big debate in Beijing, and the academic faction headed by a famous economist continuously criticized the article in the central media for being alarmist and sensational, and of course there were a few far-sighted economists who strongly supported Duan Zetao's views, and for a time the name Zetao became famous in the academic circles.

Duan Zetao didn't know that Lu Dao himself had become the focus of controversy, he was now busy with the matter of building the road, and that article was just like a stone stirring up ripples on the water for him, and he quickly regained his calm, but he didn't know that Lu Dao's fate had changed again because of this article.
