Chapter 859: The Times Change
The mayor of Liangchuan City has been quite good to me, and he has met me many times before, and he has been very enthusiastic about me, and he even nominated me to be one of the top ten outstanding young people in Liangchuan City a few years ago.
I was named one of the top ten outstanding young people, the main reason was because I personally blew up the building with quality problems, and put forward the slogan of building a boutique building, this initiative At that time, it seemed that I and the Tianzi Group would suffer huge losses, but in terms of the follow-up impact, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.
In any case, the proposal of this slogan is conducive to improving the atmosphere of Liangchuan City, just like the Xingyao Group, which has always been profit-oriented, has also begun to follow our focus on quality, and the impact is not small.
So, in this regard, my top 10 outstanding young people are also well deserved.
Although Zhou Guangzu has a stronger foundation than me, he was not selected as one of the top ten outstanding young people, and he was not even nominated.
At this point, I surpassed Zhou Guangzu again.
I am grateful to the mayor, and the mayor who nominated me is not very good-looking because of the accident at this New Year's concert, so it is necessary to meet with the mayor and explain it in person.
I immediately agreed to Xia Zuo and told Xia Zuo about the hospital I was in, and Xia Zuo said that he would send a car to pick me up immediately.
Hung up the phone, Tie Ye and others all asked me what happened, I told Tie Ye and others about the mayor's displeasure, and they all frowned and said, this incident is not to blame us, it is not that we took the initiative to provoke trouble.
But although it is not us who provoke the trouble, we are responsible for maintaining order at the New Year's concert, and we have an unshirkable responsibility for something that cannot be avoided no matter what.
It didn't take long for Xia Zuo's car to come, and I got into the car and took the car to meet Xia Zuo, and rushed to the city hall to meet the mayor.
On the way, Xia Zuo told me that the mayor was on vacation today, but we went to work at the city hall because of our business.
I said, "I'll talk to the mayor when I see him later." ”
Xia Zuo snorted and said, "His term of office is still a few months away, and the next mayor doesn't know who it will be." ”
I thought that Prince Yong's Mansion was interested in supporting people to run for mayor, so I asked Xia Zuo: "Does Prince Yong's side have any decisions?" ”
Xia Zuo said: "Of course, Prince Yong supports the people of the New People's Party, but there is still controversy within the New People's Party about the candidates to be nominated. ”
I said, "I hope that someone from the New People's Party will become the mayor of the city, and it will be easier for us to do things in the future." ”
"Despite this hope, it is still very difficult to succeed, and the New People's Party and the Advanced Party have always been competing for various resources, and the mayoral elections of each city are indispensable every time," Xia Zuo said. ”
I said, "What's the most important thing about running for mayor?" ”
"The most important thing is money, whoever has more money, who is willing to invest more money, and who has done a good job of advertising, is likely to be elected as the new mayor," Xia Zuo said. ”
In Dayanzhong, the mayor is the head of a local administration, just like the ancient feudal officials, who are subject to very few constraints and can implement their governing ideas to a great extent.
At the same time, the mayor of a city can influence the votes of a city, and it is also an important bargaining chip for the two major parties to compete for the position of first and second.
After chatting with Xia Zuo for a while, I suddenly had a whimsical in my heart, thinking that if one day I wanted to run for mayor, would I be successful?
To become mayor, you first have to join a party, get a nomination, and then run for office.
A few years ago, a popular film and television star joined the Advanced Party and participated in the mayoral election, and he was successfully elected mayor, so it is not completely without opportunities.
But soon I smiled, shook my head and overturned the idea, thinking too much, I wanted to run for mayor?
Xia Zuo saw that I suddenly laughed, so he asked me, "Xiao Kun, what are you laughing at?" ”
I laughed and said, "I'm wondering if I can become mayor if I run for election one day." ”
Xia Zuo smiled: "It's not impossible, it depends on whether you want it or not." There are still many possibilities for our Dayan, everyone has a chance, it depends on whether you have this ......" rubbed his fingers and signaled the banknote.
After we parked our car, we entered the city hall and went straight to the mayor's office to meet the mayor.
The mayor's office is located on the top floor with a wide view.
We got to the outside of the office, knocked on the door, and heard the mayor's voice: "Please come in." ”
Xia Zuo immediately pushed open the door and smiled inside: "Mayor, Xiao Kun is here." ”
The mayor was immersed in official business, and when he heard Xia Zuo's words, he raised his head, immediately showed a smile on his face, put down his pen, and said, "Invite him in." ”
The mayor's expression was not as serious as I expected, and my mood was much more relaxed.
When I walked into the office, I smiled and said hello to the mayor: "Hello mayor! ”
The mayor pointed to the couch next to him and said, "Please take a seat." ”
We sat down on the sofa, and the mayor also came over, sat down on a sofa next to us, and I was the first to speak: "Mayor, I'm sorry for what happened last night, I went back to my hometown for the New Year, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, and I caused you trouble." ”
The mayor smiled: "It's not that serious, I'm about to retire, and I plan to go home to retire, and it doesn't have much impact on me." But there is a word of advice for you, don't do anything like this again, it will be bad for you and your community. If the people above come to do another anti-crime operation because of these negative news, you will be in trouble. ”
In the past, there was a large-scale anti-crime operation, when all major associations across the country were affected, and countless powerful big brother-level figures went to prison.
This is also an important reason why I think the community is gradually moving towards formalization, after all, if it continues like this, it is not a way after all, and it will still be hit one day.
I immediately said, "Mayor, I understand, I'm going to pay attention to the impact. ”
The mayor said, "I also know about what happened last night, and it has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to feel uneasy." ”
I hurriedly thanked the mayor for his understanding.
Then the mayor asked me to restrain the little brother in the club, don't be too public, some things can be resolved peacefully, it is best to solve them peacefully, and he will personally greet Zhou Guangzu on his side, so that Zhou Guangzu can restrain a little.
I immediately assured the mayor that as long as Zhou Guangzu stopped provoking us, we would not cause trouble.
The mayor nodded and said that he was much more relieved to hear my assurances, and that he only hoped that there would not be too much trouble in the final months of his term.
Xia Zuo then asked, "Mayor, what do you think of the next mayor?" ”
The mayor muttered: "The next mayor has not yet been decided, but the candidate of the Advanced Party has come out, and it is my old opponent Cai Jiawen." ”
I said, "Did he participate in the last mayoral election?" ”
The mayor smiled: "That's right, his votes were not low at that time, I only won by a narrow margin, and the victory was very lucky." This guy is very powerful, and I am more optimistic about him. ”
I talked to the mayor in the office about some problems about the current situation in Liangchuan City, and before I knew it, it was noon, and the mayor invited us to dinner, and Xia Zuo and I readily agreed.
I thought he would take us to a restaurant outside for a big meal, but I didn't expect him to just take us to the city hall canteen and have a working meal.
Because it was during the Spring Festival holiday, there were not many people in the canteen, and everyone greeted the mayor affectionately when they saw it, and respected the outgoing mayor from the bottom of their hearts.
As far as I know, his style is quite honest, and he doesn't get too close to the businessmen in Liangchuan City, and most of them are handled impartially.
He did not intervene in the development rights of the Xicheng development project, so the competition for the development rights was relatively fair.
After coming out of dinner with the mayor, Xia Zuo sighed with emotion, saying that there are not many good officials like the mayor.
I'm also very emotional, and I think that if there are a few more characters like this, maybe the environment will be much better.
However, he is not without flaws, Xia Zuo's evaluation of him is relatively modest, there are not too many bright spots during his tenure, and he has not solved the livelihood problems of Liangchuan City.
