Chapter 1067: Unfathomable

Bus rapid transit, like Duan Zetao's 'public bicycle rental system', is a new measure to alleviate urban traffic congestion and advocate green and low-carbon travel, and has been imitated by major cities in recent years and has become a political achievement project.

When Lin Zitong was the deputy mayor of Xingzhou, Duan Zetao asked him to focus on the 'public bicycle rental system', which also became a dazzling achievement for him, so when he was appointed secretary of the Deshan Municipal Party Committee, he immediately introduced bus rapid transit and 'public bicycle rental system' into Deshan City as a political achievement project.

But in fact, as a prefecture-level city, Deshan City is not facing much traffic pressure, "public bicycle rental system" is good, citizens can ride public bicycles as a fitness exercise, the reflection is not bad, but the rapid transit has invested tens of millions, the citizens who really choose to take are pitiful, often a bus only sits a few people, there are Deshan City citizens jokingly called this 'zombie bus'.

Seeing Duan Zetao's sudden question, Lin Zitong chuckled in his heart, and explained with some embarrassment: "Secretary Duan, the introduction of BRT is learning from the experience of Xingzhou, it may be a little ahead, and it is not possible to be self-financing for the time being, this is my decision-making error, I will review it with you, please criticize ......."

Duan Zetao saw that Lin Zitong took the initiative to admit his mistake, but he was not too harsh, and said in a slow tone: "A good measure is not necessarily universal, we must adapt measures to local conditions, combined with the actual local situation, otherwise it will be easy to cause a waste of resources, and our finances are not abundant, so we must spend every penny where we need it most, otherwise the people will point to our backbone and scold our mother......."

The Standing Committee members of Deshan City behind him looked at each other, and said in their hearts that it was not right, didn't they say that Secretary Lin was Duan Zetao's person? Why did Secretary Duan say that if he changed his face, he would change his face, and he would scold correctly, it seems that the mind of the new secretary of the provincial party committee is really elusive.

After inspecting the urban construction of Deshan City, it was dinner time, Lin Zitong knew that Duan Zetao didn't like extravagance and waste the most, and he also deliberately told the staff below to keep everything simple and not to exceed the standard. However, there is a custom in this place of Deshan, that is, you must have hot pot when you eat, especially when you come to the distinguished guests, and the more hot pot you serve, the more you show the enthusiasm of the host.

So when Duan Zetao walked into the banquet hall of the Deshan Municipal Party Committee Guest House, he was a little dumbfounded when he saw the four hot pots on the table, and Lin Zitong on the side hurriedly explained that this was a custom in the Deshan area, and I heard that it was a local custom, Duan Zetao couldn't say anything, and said with a smile: "It is said that the people of Deshan are as enthusiastic as fire, and I am considered to have learned today!" ……”。

The meal was quite harmonious, Duan Zetao sat in front of the four hot pots and sweated profusely, but he always talked and laughed without showing any displeasure, which made the Deshan City Standing Committee members, who were originally in awe of him, feel a lot closer and less constrained.

After eating, Duan Zetao suddenly made a surprising move, took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and put it on the table, and said solemnly: "Today's hospitality standards are a bit excessive, because this is the custom of the Deshan area, I show respect, but the excess part should be paid by us out of our own pockets, I hope everyone remembers that principles are always principles, and there is no reason to violate ......."

Those Standing Committee members of Deshan City looked at each other, they once again understood Duan Zetao's unpredictability, they were smiling just now, and suddenly became so serious again, they had to take out money from their pockets and put it on the table in embarrassment, but the thoughts in their hearts were different, some people felt that Duan Zetao was sticking to principles and meticulous, and some people felt that Duan Zetao was putting on a show and was not close to people.

After dinner, it's time to rest, but the Standing Committee members of Deshan City have not left, waiting in line outside the room where Duan Zetao lives, and finally have the opportunity to get in close contact with the secretary of the provincial party committee, who doesn't cherish it, even if he can't get into the eyes of the secretary of the provincial party committee, he will be on the rise from then on, at least he can be familiar.

Duan Zetao also wanted to understand the following situation by talking with the cadres below, the first one to come in was naturally Lin Zitong, the relationship between him and Duan Zetao needless to say, Duan Zetao pointed to the sofa on the side and said with a smile: "Zitong, sit down, I criticized you in front of so many people today, you don't have emotions......."

Lin Zitong hurriedly bowed and said: "No emotion, no emotion, you criticize me for my own good, the matter of BRT is indeed my wrong decision, you criticize ...... right."

Duan Zetao waved his hand again and again, signaling Lin Zitong not to be too restrained, and said in a deep voice: "Zitong, there are no outsiders here, you don't have to be too restrained, you and I have worked together for a long time, you know my character, you have always been right about things and not people, many people outside know that you have been with me, but I am afraid that they will treat you as my person, I actually don't approve of the statement of who is who, as long as it is a comrade, I will treat everyone equally, because of this, I will only be stricter with you, you must be mentally prepared!" ……”。

Lin Zitong was also smiling bitterly in his heart, following Duan Zetao, the boss, there are no other benefits, he made a mistake, but he criticized him more ruthlessly than anyone else, the only benefit is that you follow him, never dare to slack off, never dare to stretch out his hand, and hurriedly said: "Be strict, so that I can make fewer mistakes, follow you, I don't regret it!" ……”。

Duan Zetao pointed at Lin Zitong with his finger, and said with a smile: "Zitong, let's not talk about polite words, let's talk about the situation in Deshan City, I am satisfied with the urban construction of Deshan City, but it is not enough to do a good job in urban construction, we must grasp the economic work and improve the income of the people, this is the fundamental, last year, the GDP of Deshan City ranked fifth in the prefecture-level cities in the province, and it can only be regarded as the middle stream, do you have any ideas?" ……”。

Lin Zitong sighed, and said with some embarrassment: "Old leader, the economic development of Deshan City is tepid, and I am responsible for the number one, but I also have a bitterness and can't say it, the cadres in this place of Deshan, the idea of holding together is particularly serious, and there is a group of harmony on the surface, once you touch their interests, they will join forces to boycott you, especially the leaders of Deshan in the province, and the inextricable relationship is not clear at all, maybe today you criticize a cadre, and tomorrow the call from the provincial leader will come to ......."

"No matter what the cadres in this place of Deshan do, they like to talk about relationships, but they are not motivated to do things, you can't criticize it yet, criticize it heavily, he has emotions, and drive the cadres below to stumble with you, I can't remove all the local cadres in Deshan, so I always feel constrained when I do things, and I am ashamed to say it, although I am the leader of Deshan City, but the right to speak on the Standing Committee is controlled by the local cadres of Deshan City, and I have a ......lot of things that I don't have enough energy to do."
