"What, you've quit drinking? Or you can't drink more at noon, so let's drink less. ”

"It's not that I'm quitting drinking, first, I'm driving by myself now, and second, I'm still breastfeeding, and neither of these circumstances allow me to drink." Zhao Xinmei explained.

Section Chief Shi patted his head, "Look at my brain, forget about the fact that you are breastfeeding, yes, yes, yes, just rush this point, and say that you can't drink anything." ”

"It's not interesting to just eat, or ask someone to accompany you for a drink in your department." Zhao Xinmei suggested.

"Why? I don't have that much of an alcohol addiction, do I? Actually, it doesn't matter if I drink it or not. Xinmei, let's not be polite, don't eat this meal at noon today, can't we get together another day? ”

"I don't want to go to this ----,!" Zhao Xinmei was a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong with that? There are many opportunities to get together in the future, so don't take this kind of thing to heart. "Section Chief Shi is indeed a real person.

"If that's the case, then I'll go back."

"You go back, I'll get back in a day or two, and I'll call you again."

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Section Chief Shi called Zhao Xinmei and told her that Bincheng Town had agreed to give the land in the left neighborhood to Jiansheng Food Company, and asked Zhao Xinmei to go to the town as soon as possible to go through the land lease procedures, to put it bluntly, to pay the land lease fee.

On the third day after Zhou Jianping returned from his hometown, Zhao Xinmei told him that the land on the left side of the new factory area in Bincheng Town had been settled.

"Settled? You mean----? ”

"Yes, the town has agreed to give that land to our company."

"Xinmei, I don't have much hope for this matter, I didn't expect you to really take it down, it's good, it's good!" Zhou Jianping had a happy expression on his face.

"But it took a bit of work." Zhao Xinmei reported to Zhou Jianping about buying a gift for Section Chief Shi.

"It should be, Section Chief Shi has helped the company a lot, and this little gift is actually not a tribute." Zhou Jianping has long admired Zhao Xinmei's ability to do things.

"Section Chief Shi is really good, she takes our affairs as her own. I asked her to come forward to ask for that piece of land, it turned out that a friend of Mayor Wen in the town had already said hello to that piece of land, and even Secretary Xu of the town was reluctant to come forward to talk about it, Section Chief Shi called Mayor Wen directly, I heard it clearly, she used both soft and hard, forced Mayor Wen to have a showdown with his friend, and took the piece of land. Zhao Xinmei said.

"The land has been settled, and we have to move forward with the project in the next step."

"I received a call just now, and Section Chief Shi asked us to go to the town as soon as possible to go through the land lease procedures, and we may then ask for the payment of land lease fees."

"As soon as possible? So how about tomorrow? "Zhou Jianping really does what he says.

At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, Zhao Xinmei and Zhou Jianping sat in the same car, and Zhao Xinmei drove her silver-gray Santana to Bincheng Town.

First went to Secretary Xu's office, after Zhou Jianping and Zhao Xinmei entered the house, Secretary Xu got up to greet him, he held Zhou Jianping's hand, "Congratulations!" ”

Zhou Jianping and Zhao Xinmei were a little confused by this sentence, "Congratulations----? Oh,"

Secretary Xu invited the two guests to sit down, and he saw that the guests didn't know what they meant, "The piece of land next to you has been vacant for too long, I can't even say, this time you took the piece of land through Section Chief Shi and used it, aren't we both worthy of joy?" ”

Zhao Xinmei first understood what Secretary Xu meant, "Yes, it is worth everyone's joy." ”

Mayor Wen's friends have not used that piece of land for a long time, except for Mayor Wen himself, many leading members of the town from Secretary Xu to the party and government team have opinions, but no one talks about it, the number one is afraid of affecting unity, and the personnel below are not their business, who wants to offend the mayor?

Section Chief Shi came forward for Jiansheng Food Company and took the land from the mayor of the town, on the one hand, it solved the problem of land for the expansion of production for the company, and on the other hand, many cadres in the town felt that they had breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

"Secretary Xu, if you have time at noon, plus some leaders in the town, let's have a meal together?" Jiansheng Food's new plant has long been in use, but Zhou Jianping and Zhao Xinmei have little interaction with local leaders.

"It's okay to have a meal, but if Mayor Wen is also in attendance, please try not to mention the matter of that land, so as not to irritate him." Secretary Xu said.

"We'll be careful, and we'll never irritate him. Secretary Xu, you are busy first, and we will go to Mayor Wen to visit. Zhou Jianping said.

Coming to Mayor Wen's office, "You're here." "Mayor Wen is indeed lukewarm.

"Mayor Wen, let's go through the lease procedures for the newly leased land." Zhao Xinmei said.

"Oh, sit down. I don't understand, why are you so interested in that land? "It seems that Mayor Wen is indeed angry, and he is not completely angry yet.

Zhou Jianping and Zhao Xinmei didn't care about him, "Mayor Wen, it's not that we have a soft spot for that land, we just want to facilitate business management." ”

"Okay, no matter what it's for, it's all done for you, and there's no point in talking about anything else."

"Thank you Mayor Wen, our affairs have bothered you, while we have time at noon today, we invite you to have dinner with the leaders of the town."

"Hey, it doesn't matter if you eat or not, you go through the leasing procedures."

At noon, in the largest restaurant in Bincheng Town, Zhou Jianping was the east, and invited more than ten people from the party and government institutions in Bincheng Town to dinner, except for Mayor Wen who was depressed and tasteless about the wine and food on the table, others tacitly understood that a few people looked at each other and smiled, they knew why Mayor Wen was unhappy.

Zhou Jianping and Zhao Xinmei thanked Secretary Xu and Mayor Wen and the various agencies of the town government for their support and help to Jiansheng Food Company for more than a year, and the government leaders headed by Secretary Xu wished Jiansheng Food Company better and better.

On the way back to the city from Bincheng Town, Zhou Jianping asked Zhao Xinmei: "What do you think of this meal?" ”

"What do you mean?" Zhao Xinmei drove the car and asked casually.

"Who's happiest at the table? Who is the happiest? ”

"I took that piece of land, of course we are the happiest, the happiest, of course, it is Mayor Wen, in his friend, I don't know how difficult Lao Wen has done, from the bottom of his heart, he is absolutely unwilling to transfer that piece of land from his friend to us, but in Section Chief Shi's soft and rigid words, Lao Wen can only do it." Zhao Xinmei said.

"It's strange to say, even Secretary Xu doesn't want to come forward to talk to Mayor Wen about that piece of land, Section Chief Shi and Lao Wen are administratively equal, how can you say that Lao Wen can listen to Section Chief Shi?" Zhou Jianping was curious about the reason.

"I know the reasons for this, on the one hand, Section Chief Shi is a section chief in a key department of the Municipal Planning Commission, and she has a certain amount of real power, and she has also done a lot of things for Bincheng Town, and the leaders of the town respect her more; The most important thing is that Mayor Wen's friend has not built this land for three or four years, which is against the national land policy, and Lao Wen is also afraid of being reported, and Section Chief Shi's brother-in-law is the leader of the Municipal Supervision Bureau, which is what Mayor Wen is most afraid of. ”

"No wonder, if there was no such relationship, Mayor Wen wouldn't have given us that piece of land. Therefore, Lao Wen was the most depressed at noon today. ”

"By the way, how is the implementation of the vegetable base supporting the expansion? Eyebrows? Zhao Xinmei asked.

"It is being implemented, and it should be said that there are basically eyebrows."

"Where are you going to build your new vegetable base?"

"It's still in Xishan Township, but in another village, my hometown Yuanba Village has no potential to tap."

"I didn't expect it to go well, I thought it was difficult to implement." Zhao Xinmei was also very pleased.

"Although I have an intention, unlike Yuanba Village, the village committee here helps to publicize and mobilize, and we need our company to pay for labor services." Zhou Jianping said.

"Isn't that good for them? Why do you need labor fees to help propaganda and mobilization? ”

"That's often the case, in Yuanba village, the people in the village committee are eager for me to find a way to get them out of poverty; The situation in this village is different, now I come to the door to beg them, the village committee naturally thinks that more things are better than less things, people have to fight with me, we don't pay labor fees, I don't think they will take the initiative to do propaganda and mobilization. However, this village has a tradition of growing vegetables, and it may be easier to implement it in the future. Zhou Jianping said.

"That's also very good, pay a little here, and you don't need to invite people from the Institute of Agricultural Sciences for technical training and practical guidance in the future, so you can save the money back."

"On the one hand, many villagers in this village have basic knowledge of growing vegetables, and in addition, the necessary technical guidance, those agricultural technicians trained in Yuanba Village can also be competent."

The funds and land for the expansion of the project have been secured, and Zhou Jianping has to seize the time to determine the new vegetable planting base.

Two days later, Zhou Jianping called in advance to agree that at about 9 o'clock in the morning, the driver, Master Sun, pulled him to the village committee of Shuangbei Village, Xishan Township, where Wu Guiming, the village party secretary, and other members of the village committee were waiting in the office.

Seeing a black Santana sedan driving into the yard, Wu Guiming took the lead to greet him, and after Zhou Jianping got out of the car, he greeted Wu Guiming first, "Uncle, oh, no, Secretary Wu, I've been waiting for a long time." ”

"I didn't have to wait long, I'll introduce you when you enter the house." Wu Guiming took Zhou Jianping's hand into the office, and after everyone sat down, he said: "Everyone, this is what Secretary Zhang and Township Mayor Liu often mention, our whole township is proud of, and it is also an entrepreneur who went out from our Xishan Township, a powerful person, and Zhou Jianping, general manager of Huaxing Jiansheng Food Company!" ”

Zhou Jianping stood up, walked up to each member of the village committee, and shook hands with them one by one.

After Zhou Jianping returned to his seat, Wu Guiming started with Qi Xiaoliang, the village director, and introduced the members of the village committee to him one by one, and then said: "Mr. Zhou's enterprise has done a lot in Huaxing City, they have a project that needs to expand production, and now they want to build a vegetable planting base in our Shuangbei Village. ”

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Zhou is still the son-in-law of our Shuangbei Village, and his mother-in-law is one of my uncles and sisters." Wu Guiming added.

Zhou Jianping first gave a brief introduction to the members of the village committee about the general situation of Jiansheng Food Company, and he continued: "I have long heard that Shuangbei Village has a tradition of planting vegetables and is a good place to build a vegetable base, but the construction of the vegetable base requires the villagers to act in unison. We need the village committee to explain these situations clearly to the villagers and do some mobilization work. ”
