When Xu Yanfeng left from Xiang's hometown, it was Su Muyan who drove Xu Yanfeng to the hotel.

The two rarely communicated along the way, and Xu Yanfeng didn't go to spy on Su Muyan.

After getting off the bus.

"Tonight xiexie you." Su Muyan showed a rare smile.

"I was also forced to be pushed out by Liang Shaokang, so I was very nervous to see so many big people at once." Xu Yanfeng said with a smile.

Su Muyan also smiled: "My grandfather often offends people, but he rarely praises people. Today he praised you so much, it seems that he really likes you. If you have time, you can often come to the house to sit with my grandfather. My grandfather ......"

When Su Muyan said this, her eyes were also a little red, obviously she also thought that Xiang Lao's body had become worse and worse in the past two years.

"Don't worry, if I have the chance, I will come often." Xu Yanfeng said: "You also have to take care. We are friends, you can talk to me on the phone in the future. ”

After Xu Yanfeng finished speaking, he also knew that he was definitely talking in vain.

Su Muyan's character will never call people easily.

But Xu Yanfeng's concern still made Su Muyan's heart suddenly ignite a trace of warmth. However, the withdrawn personality she has cultivated over the years makes her as Xu Yanfeng expected, and she will never call people easily.

Watching Su Muyan drive away, Xu Yanfeng sighed softly and went upstairs to his room.

The next day, Xu Yanfeng waited early outside Wei Zhaoxing's house.

At around half past seven, Wei Zhaoxing opened the door, and Xu Yanfeng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mayor Wei." ”

"Well, grab something, call Shangzhengjun, let's go have breakfast first. After eating, I went to the National Development and Reform Commission. Wei Zhaoxing said.

Xu Yanfeng nodded, hurriedly took the things that should be taken, and talked to Ma Zhengjun on the phone again. Ma Zhengjun was also busy and went to the buffet breakfast restaurant downstairs with Wei Zhaoxing.

After breakfast, everyone rushed to the National Development and Reform Commission.

The National Development and Reform Commission is known as the small government affairs yuan, which shows how deep the yamen is.

Even though Wei Zhaoxing is the mayor of a prefecture-level city, he is deeply worried about whether he can get things done this time.

Register in front of the door. The group walked into the office building of the National Development and Reform Commission.

Wei Zhaoxing did not first go to the director in charge of applying for project funds, but to find his former classmate in the party school, a deputy director of the price department.

Wei Zhaoxing had already said hello to this classmate last night, and after asking where the office was, he led everyone to the door of the other party's office.

Knocked on the door. Walk in. Wei Zhaoxing smiled: "Director Yang, are you busy?" ”

"Oh, Mayor Wei, haven't I been waiting for you." Director Yang stood up and shook hands with everyone.

The crowd took their seats. Director Yang asked everyone if they smoked, and everyone shook their heads and waved their hands, so Director Yang himself lit a soft Huaxia and said, "Mayor Wei, after you called me yesterday, I specifically asked you about it." It's not that I, a classmate, won't do things for you. Director Huang, who is mainly in charge of this matter, has already submitted the distribution plan to the deputy director in charge. If you want to change, you can only find Director Qiu in charge. ”

As soon as Wei Zhaoxing heard this, his face was a little bad. His relationship is not as good as Director Qiu's, and for the funding of these projects, many local governments across the country are running relationships. Just because Wei Zhaoxing is not familiar with the relationship with others, it is absolutely impossible for people to lean towards Yanchang City.

"Director Yang, can't you think of a way again?" Wei Zhaoxing said.

"Our relationship is not an outsider. If there's a turnaround, I can't help you. Why don't you go to Director Huang's place? Ask him if he can do this? Director Yang said.

Listening to the meaning of Director Yang's words, he didn't plan to go with Wei Zhaoxing. It can be seen that Director Huang will not agree to this matter, so Director Yang is also afraid of losing face by following him, so it is better not to go and let Wei Zhaoxing hit the wall by himself. Forget it back to Yanchang City.

If this happens, the average mayor will not ask for help. After all, he is also a mayor, and he knows that it is impossible to be embarrassed, so they can't pull this face.

And if you fight for it, you will strive for one or two hundred million more. If you don't have this money, you won't have it, and anyway, this extra money won't make the city's economy grow by leaps and bounds. If you don't have it, you won't starve to death.

Based on these circumstances, what else is there to ask for?

Go back and reprimand the director of the local Development and Reform Commission, and tell him that there will be funds in the future, and do it as soon as possible, and the matter will be over.

This is the practice of the mayor of a prefecture-level city in general.

But Wei Zhaoxing is not the kind of mayor who sees face as bigger than the sky, he hasn't gone to Director Huang to give up like this, he absolutely can't accept it.

This kind of thinking is very similar to Xu Yanfeng, he can accept failure after hard work, but never accept giving up.

Since Director Yang didn't plan to go with him, Wei Zhaoxing took Xu Yanfeng and Ma Zhengjun to Director Huang's office.

After all, Ma Zhengjun and Director Huang are in the same system, so it doesn't matter if Director Huang knows him or not, anyway, as soon as he entered the door, Ma Zhengjun nodded and said: "Director Huang, I am Ma Zhengjun from the Yanchang Development and Reform Commission, I have contacted you before, hehe, this is Mayor Wei Zhaoxing, the mayor of our municipal government." ”

Director Huang sighed, got up and smiled: "Mayor Wei, hello." ”

Although Director Huang is also very enthusiastic, he can see some false elements, after all, he Director Huang and Wei Zhaoxing have not had any friendship before.

"Director Huang is so young, and his future is limitless." Wei Zhaoxing said with a smile.

Director Huang is indeed not very old, he was only 40 years old when he mentioned the position of director last year, and he is also a young cadre in the National Development and Reform Commission.

"Young or something, it's more than 40 years old." Director Huang said with a smile.

Wei Zhaoxing knew that he was polite, and he didn't dig deeper, smiled and chatted for a while, and then asked Ma Zhengjun to take out the information and said, "Director Huang, the purpose of our visit this time is to apply for a few project funds. ”

Director Huang took the materials and pretended to be suddenly enlightened: "Oh, you are here for the 80 billion project funds." As he spoke, Director Huang looked through the materials again, and said with an embarrassed look: "I have reported all the projects to Director Qiu this time, but it is not good to add more." ”

In fact, Director Huang is not an official, he has already reported the project to the deputy director in charge. If you take it back for no reason now, add a few. Then what does this make the director in charge think, he will definitely think that Director Huang has taken the benefits of the other party, so he has to add the project.

It's not that Director Huang doesn't want to add them, and if he gets enough benefits, it doesn't matter if he asks him to add a few items. Anyway, the total amount is 80 billion, and if you increase the number of projects, you will reduce the funds for other projects, as long as the total number remains the same, it doesn't matter.

But now that Director Huang has reported the project to Director Qiu, if you want to change it. It must be agreed by Director Qiu. It's not Director Huang who has the final say. Therefore, he just used Director Qiu as a shield to prevaricate Wei Zhaoxing.

"Director Huang, see if you can help us think of a way." Ma Zhengjun said busily.

He knew that it would definitely not be appropriate to let Wei Zhaoxing say something begging at this time. Only Ma Zhengjun is here to pretend to be this grandson.

Director Huang sighed and said, "You better talk to Director Qiu about this." As long as Director Qiu agrees, it is absolutely no problem for me to help you add a few projects. ”

"We are not familiar with Director Qiu either. Director Huang, do you think you can help us ask about it? "Ma Zhengjun's grandson pretended to work very hard.

"I can help with this, I will definitely help. You put the materials here. I'll see what happens. After Director Huang finished speaking, he picked up the internal phone, pressed a few buttons and said, "Xiao Liu, bring me the report I gave you last time." ”

Director Huang is going to see off the guests. And what he just said put the material here, and the situation is a nonsense, which is purely fooling people.

If he doesn't reply today, he won't give it tomorrow, so can Wei Zhaoxing stay in Beijing all the time?

Wait for Wei Zhaoxing to return to Yanchang. No one ran away from this matter, let alone any more of it.

This is the effective means of the Great Yamen, can Wei Zhaoxing and Ma Zhengjun know?

But Director Huang has said that if they don't leave, it will really become a "laid-egg".

There was no way, Ma Zhengjun got the hint from Wei Zhaoxing's eyes, so he could only put the materials on Director Huang's desk and left his contact number. Then he said goodbye to Director Huang, and after Director Huang "affectionately" sent them to the elevator. Several people walked into the elevator together.

Xu Yanfeng looked at Wei Zhaoxing and Ma Zhengjun, and the mood of the two could be seen to be very heavy.

Especially Ma Zhengjun, he knew that if things couldn't be done, he would inevitably be reprimanded when he went back. Even if Wei Zhaoxing didn't reprimand him, he would have opinions about Ma Zhengjun.

Elevator all the way to Xiangxia. Ma Zhengjun accompanied him and couldn't help but say, "Mayor Wei, what do you think should be done about this?" Why don't we have a dinner with Director Huang in the evening? And then give something to him? ”

Wei Zhaoxing frowned: "I'm afraid it's not easy to do even if you eat." After all, the project was reported to Director Qiu, and without Director Qiu's nod, Director Huang would not have helped us easily. ”

Ma Zhengjun also knows. But what can you do if you don't look for Director Huang, he doesn't know Director Qiu.

And Wei Zhaoxing didn't know Director Qiu either. If he really wants to make an appointment with Director Qiu, then it is not impossible to go to the leaders of the Yunhu Provincial Party Committee and Government for help.

But how do you mention this to the provincial leaders?

According to the practice of supplementing projects in the past, if the project funds were added to Yanchang City, the money would have to be deducted from other cities in Yunhu Province. Anyway, the total amount of money in a province will not change.

Therefore, it is all the money of Yunhu Province, so the provincial leaders will help Wei Zhaoxing run the relationship for the sake of Yanchang City and other cities to get less?

Obviously it can't be, and it's not that necessary.

If you want to run for funds, you can only run it by the leaders of prefecture-level cities, and the province will not help.

But Wei Zhaoxing and Director Qiu have nothing to do with each other.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhaoxing sighed and said, "Zhengjun, let's ask Director Huang to come out for dinner in the evening." Have a good talk with him, if it really doesn't work, let's go back to Yanchang early tomorrow morning. ”

Wei Zhaoxing is a mayor, there are so many things, and it is impossible to waste time on something that is already impossible.

Ma Zhengjun nodded with a sad face.

At this time, the elevator reached the first floor, only to hear the sound of "ding", and the elevator door opened.

Wei Zhaoxing was about to get out of the elevator, when he suddenly heard a man outside the elevator say in surprise: "Xu Yanfeng? ”

Xu Yanfeng didn't expect to meet Cen Weiran here, and smiled slightly awkwardly: "Weiran, what a coincidence." ”
