Chapter 445: Visiting Elder Xiang
A few days later, after Xu Yanfeng asked Su Zhengqun for leave, he set off with Luo Peinian.
He was accompanied by Xie Chenhui, deputy director of the county environmental protection bureau office. This man was in his 30s, and Luo Peinian took him with him and asked him to do some service on the road.
The group went to the provincial hall first and met Fan Yingjun. As soon as Fan Yingjun saw Xu Yanfeng, he knew that he was here to ask for money.
Fan Yingjun did not refuse Xu Yanfeng, but euphemistically said that he would discuss it with the director before deciding.
Xu Yanfeng knew that the provincial environmental protection department did not have much money for them.
If Fan Yingjun can help fight for it, he will definitely be able to win money. But this money is by no means too much, and it is not certain when it will be earned.
Therefore, if you want to fundamentally solve the problem of funding, you can only run the department. Money in. Go to the national ministry to apply for funding.
For going to the capital this time, Xu Yanfeng actually didn't have much confidence. After all, he was just a small deputy county magistrate, so he went to the national ministries and commissions to ask for money, and they sent Xu Yanfeng back with a perfunctory sentence.
But Xu Yanfeng didn't run, so he gave up hope, this is not his style.
If you really work hard, you still don't get a penny. Then Xu Yanfeng had no choice but to beg Liang Yuxiang. I hope he can help him find some funds from the ministry and the province.
Of course, if he didn't go to Zuihou, Xu Yanfeng didn't want to go to him.
Fan Yingjun also knew that it would be difficult for Xu Yanfeng to go to the country to ask for money, so he arranged for a deputy director of the Department of Environmental Protection to accompany him.
This deputy director is also a veteran director of the Department of Planning and Finance, and is familiar with many people in the Department of Planning and Finance of the Ministry of Environmental Protection. With him to help Xu Yanfeng make some introductions. Then help to fix it, the effect is naturally much better than Xu Yanfeng going by himself.
Fan Yingjun can help with this, Xu Yanfeng is already very grateful.
Midday. Xu Yanfeng invited Director Fan and the deputy director of the Finance Department, Guan Juntao, to have a meal together. The director was also very happy about Fan Yingjun's arrangement for him to go to the capital with Xu Yanfeng.
After all, Guan Juntao was only responsible for introducing the relationship this time, and did not have any tasks. And there must be Xu Yanfeng on the road who eats and drinks well. If Zuihou can't do it, Xu Yanfeng will more or less say that he will send a red envelope to Guan Juntao.
Therefore, going to the capital this time is also a good errand.
After eating, Guan Juntao said that he had a car, let Xu Yanfeng go first. He went home and packed up something. Just go after Xu Yanfeng.
Xu Yanfeng agreed, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go first." Wait until the accommodation is arranged. I called the Director of Management. In charge of the director's fuel and toll fees to go to the capital, you can just give the ticket to my driver. ”
After breaking up with Guan Juntao, Xu Yanfeng and others went to the capital first.
After arranging accommodation, Xu Yanfeng sent a text message to Guan Juntao. Tell him the hotel and room number.
Not for a while. Guan Juntao replied with a text message, saying that there was a woman and a man in his car, and asked Xu Yanfeng to open an extra room to come out.
Xu Yanfeng had no choice but to comply.
After another hour, Guan Juntao came.
It turned out that he was still in the car with his wife and son.
His son just finished the college entrance examination this year, and now it is during the summer vacation, and he is fine at home, so Guan Juntao took his wife and son to the capital as a tourist. Anyway, someone is responsible for the food, lodging, carriage and horse expenses.
Regarding Guan Juntao's approach, Xu Yanfeng couldn't say anything.
When the people are all together. The group looked for a private room to eat.
During the meal, Guan Juntao said: "County Magistrate Xu." A director of the Planning Division of the Department of Planning and Finance of the Ministry of Environmental Protection is a native of Nancanggan County. My hometown is also from Gan County, and he is also a fellow countryman. I have already contacted him on the way, and we will rush to his office at nine o'clock tomorrow morning to talk to him about the situation. ”
Xu Yanfeng didn't expect that Guan Juntao and a director of the Department of Planning and Finance would have such a relationship. It is estimated that it is also because of this relationship that the leaders of the provincial department put Guan Juntao on the post of Guicaikou. In fact, this can be regarded as a kind of human talent.
"Thank you, Director. After dinner in the evening, do you think we need to buy some gifts for that leader? If you need to, just open your mouth and go buy some with Director Luo. Xu Yanfeng said.
"Well, let's see."
Let's take a look at this sentence, in fact, it is a disguised need to buy gifts. It's just hard to say.
"Director Luo, you go out with Director Guan in the evening and buy some gifts for that leader according to Director Guan's wishes." Xu Yanfeng said with a smile: "Director Guan, don't see outside, if you see anything you need at night, just squeak." Director Luo, you have to do a good job, you know? ”
Luo Peinian understood what Xu Yanfeng meant, so he naturally nodded in agreement.
After eating, Luo Peinian and the others went out, and Xu Yanfeng returned to the room alone.
This time in Beijing, Xu Yanfeng not only wanted to apply for funds from the Ministry of Environmental Protection, but also planned to see Xiang Lao.
For Xiang Lao, Xu Yanfeng did not regard him as a national boss anymore, but completely regarded him as an old man, an old man who can communicate with each other.
Thinking about his thoughts silently, watching TV, after a while, Xu Yanfeng's eyelids fought, and he fell asleep deeply.
The next day, according to Guan Juntao's contact with Haode in advance, Xu Yanfeng met with Director Huang of the Department of Planning and Finance.
After Director Huang read the materials, he said: "County Magistrate Xu, you were brought by the director of the department, so I will definitely help with this favor." However, now that the 10th National Congress is about to be held, the leaders of the ministry are tightly in charge of the financial aspects. I'm looking for a chance to help you reflect. In this way, you will put this material here, and if you are fine, you can wait in the capital for two days. Let's see if we can find a chance in these two days. ”
"Well, Director Huang, you have bothered a lot." Xu Yanfeng said.
"They are all Yunhu fellows, and the director of the management department came here in person, I will definitely do my best to help." Director Huang said with a smile.
Xu Yanfeng's friend Haode shook hands with Director Huang, and through the snooping of the brief handshake, Director Huang was indeed willing to help Xu Yanfeng in his heart. However, Director Huang is only a director after all, and if he wants to move money, he still needs the consent of the director and the minister above him. This is not something that Director Huang can control.
So, can this thing be done? It's still hard to say.
Coming out of the office building of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, Xu Yanfeng said to Luo Peinian: "Let's wait here for two days." If you want to get around, go ahead. Just take my car, I won't take the car. Take a stroll for a while. ”
Xu Yanfeng left the car and driver to Luo Peinian, and walked along the road alone.
After walking for a while, I took a car, first went to the most haode tea shop to buy a tea can gift box, and then came to the red wall where Xiang Lao lived not far away.
took out her mobile phone and sent a text message to Su Muyan, telling her location to see if she could take the time to pick her up.
If no one answers. Xu Yanfeng will definitely not be able to enter the red wall.
After a while, Su Muyan replied with a text message, a very concise two words, "Wait a minute".
Xu Yanfeng smiled bitterly. I didn't expect Su Muyan to speak and save words, and send text messages so economically.
After waiting in place for more than ten minutes, a domestic car stopped beside Xu Yanfeng.
The car opened the window, revealing Su Muyan's slightly haggard face.
This made Xu Yanfeng couldn't help but be startled. I haven't seen him for half a year. Why did Su Muyan become so haggard.
Xu Yanfeng felt a little unpleasant in his heart, and it was estimated that Xiang Lao's condition was now more serious.
Silently got into the car, Xu Yanfeng didn't know how to ask, and after thinking for a few words, Zuihou still said in the most straightforward language: "How is Xiang Lao's condition now." ”
Su Muyan didn't speak at first, then her eyes turned red, she couldn't hold back her tears, and said, "The situation is not very good......
Said five words. Su Muyan couldn't go on anymore.
Xu Yanfeng patted her lightly and motioned her to stop talking. Subsequently. Xu Yanfeng let out a long sigh.
After driving for less than ten minutes, he came to the door of Xiang's hometown.
After entering, Xu Yanfeng found that there were obviously more nurses in the Xiang family than before.
"Grandpa just doesn't go to the hospital, so we have to ask a nurse to come to the house." Su Muyan bit her lip and said.
Xiang Lao's illness is not a serious illness, and it does not require any large instruments to treat it. His illness is mainly geriatric disease, and the 87-year-old man's body functions have declined, and it is this decline that causes Xiang Lao to rely on infusions every day to maintain his life.
Walking into the living room, Xiang Xiujie was talking to two men.
One of them was in his sixties, and the other was about thirty years old.
"Xiao Xu is here." After Xiang Xiujie saw Xu Yanfeng, she greeted her.
"Aunt Xiang......" Xu Yanfeng said.
Xiang Xiujie glanced at Su Muyan and said, "I saw you go out just now, and I didn't say where to go, I picked up Xiao Xu." Let's go inside and wash your face. ”
Su Muyan snorted and walked into the bathroom.
Xiang Xiujie then pointed to the man in his sixties and said, "This is Uncle Guo, who was my father's security guard at the beginning." It was his son Guo Weiquan. ”
After introducing the Guo family's father and son, Xiang Xiujie pointed at Xu Yanfeng and said, "Mu Mu's friend is now serving as the deputy county magistrate in Yunhu County. ”
Xu Yanfeng did not mention it to Xiang Xiujie and Su Muyan as the deputy county magistrate, Xiang Xiujie would know, it is estimated that Liang Shaokang said it.
After Xiang Xiujie finished the introduction, the two friends shook hands with Haode.
"It's time for us to go, too." Guo Weiquan's father Guo Rong said.
"Sit down again." Xiang Xiujie stays guests.
Guo Rong's eyes were a little red, and he sighed and said, "No, it happens that Wei Quan is on vacation today, and I will take Wei Quan to see Xiang Ye." It's convenient for me to come over in the future, and I'll come often if it's okay. ”
Although Xiang Lao has retired for almost 20 years, Guo Rong still calls him "Xiangye" as the previous position of Xiang Lao.
"Aunt Xiang, let's go." Guo Weiquan also said.
Xiang Xiujie nodded and said, "Weiquan, be careful when you work, it's very dangerous to deal with those people." When you're not busy at work, take care of your dad more. ”
"I know, Aunt Xiang." After Guo Weiquan finished speaking, he waved his hand to Xu Yanfeng again.
After sending the Guo family's father and son away, Su Muyan also freshened up.
Su Muyan, who had washed his face, was obviously a little more energetic than just now.
"Aunt Xiang, I want to go and see Xiang Lao." Xu Yanfeng said.
Xiang Xiujie sighed: "Go ahead." After speaking, the eye circles were also red.
Xu Yanfeng didn't know what happened to Xiang Lao now, and under the leadership of Su Muyan, he walked into Xiang Lao's bedroom. (To be continued.) )
