When the train slowly stopped on the platform, Wu Mingxiong saw Ju Tong'an, director of the Pingchuan ** Provincial Capital Office, from the window of the carriage. As soon as the door opened, Ju Tongan squeezed into the car and helped Wu Mingxiong and Ye Qing, the secretary general of the municipal party committee, to get off the car with their luggage.

Walking on the platform, Wu Mingxiong asked: "Xiaoju, I want you to do the investigation, did you do it?" What is the peak traffic volume of several main roads in the provincial capital? ”

Ju Tongan said: "Secretary Wu, when you go to the guest house of the provincial party committee, I will report to you in detail." We not only conducted on-the-spot investigations, but also looked at the materials accumulated by the provincial transportation bureaus over the years, including some materials from the Kuomintang and Japanese periods. ”

Wu Mingxiong said: "Okay, then I will give you another task: go to the provincial library and various universities to find more materials from Germany, Japan and South Korea during the post-war recovery period, with a focus on road infrastructure." When I come back from my visit abroad, I will hand it over to me, or hand it over to Secretary General Ye. ”

Ju Tong'an responded, and then asked casually: "Secretary Wu, didn't you go to Beijing to attend the Central Work Conference this time?" Why are you going abroad again? ”

Wu Mingxiong said: "I went to Beijing with the leading comrades of the provincial party committee to hold a central work conference, and Secretary General Ye and I left Beijing and met Mayor Yan in Tokyo. ”

Ye Qing advised: "Director Ju, these materials that Secretary Wu wants, you have to run personally, some of them can't be copied, and if you don't let them copy, ask someone to copy them, the Chinese version and foreign language version are all required, and the time is more than half a month, it should be no problem, right?" ”

Ju Tongan said again and again: "No problem, no problem. ”

After leaving the station, Ju Tongan led Wu Mingxiong and Ye Qing to a brand-new luxury crown.

As soon as Wu Mingxiong got in the car, he said: "Xiaoju, you are more generous than me, and you have taken this kind of high-end car." ”

Ye Qing also said: "Director Ju, your car is over the standard." According to the regulations, you can only use Santana for division-level units. ”

Ju Tongan immediately shouted: "My Santana has run to 200,000 kilometers, and Mayor Shu will not approve me of a new car, and he will not even give me office funds, and he wants us to carry out reforms, generate our own income, buy cars, and engage in reception." Mayor Shu said to me: If you have the ability to run a company in the provincial city to make money, I don't care if you live in the same Mercedes-Benz 500; If you don't have the ability to make money, you carry forward the glorious tradition of hard work and drive your own two legs! ”

Wu Mingxiong laughed: "This old bundle is quite humorous." Then, he said, "Your identity in Tong'an is not ordinary, in the provincial capital, it represents our Pingchuan Municipal Party Committee and the city, and it is not an exaggeration to have a good car. ”

Ju Tongan said flatteringly: "Secretary Wu, why don't I change this car to you?" ”

Wu Mingxiong said: "I don't dare to sit. ”

Ju Tongan personally drove out of the station square, planning to drive directly to the Provincial Party Committee Guest House at No. 22 Guangzhou Road.

Wu Mingxiong looked at his watch and said, "Xiaoju, it's still early, you can take us for a ride and take a turn on the main road in the provincial capital, okay?" ”

Ju Tongan said: "Secretary Wu, after more than six hours in the car, you are not tired?!" ”

Wu Mingxiong said: "Are you still tired of riding in the car? The comrades on the Desert River water conservancy site and the ring road construction site are called tired. ”

So, Ju Tongan drove Wu Mingxiong around the city, turned to the intersection where he could park, Wu Mingxiong also got out of the car several times, and measured the road surface with his big footboard, which made passers-by stare curiously, and almost attracted the interference of the traffic police.

When Wu Mingxiong measured the road, Ju Tongan parked his luxury car far away, as if he wanted to draw a line with his secretary of the municipal party committee.

Ye Qing also stood aside and watched from a distance, and shook his head and said to Ju Tongan: "Our Secretary Wu, he is really crazy, he has been on the ring road since he started, and he likes to measure the road wherever he goes." ”

At the intersection of Shengli Road and Jiefang Road, Wu Mingxiong was measuring the road, when an Audi suddenly stopped in front of him, startling Wu Mingxiong, and Ye Qing and Ju Tong'an, who were not far away.

I never thought that it was Qian Xianghui, secretary of the provincial party committee, who came out of Audi.

Qian Xianghui said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Old Wu, have you come to the road in our provincial capital for a walk?" If my car hits you, is it mine or yours? ”

Wu Mingxiong smiled: "I can't hit it," and then pointed to the busy intersection and said, "There is a problem with the design of this intersection, and with such a large traffic flow, I think I should have built an overpass in the first place." The road design must be ahead of its time. Secretary Qian, you see, the reality in front of you proves that adaptation is backwardness. ”

Qian Xianghui nodded and said, "Yes, who would have thought that our social economy would develop so rapidly more than ten years ago?" ”

Wu Mingxiong said thoughtfully: "Therefore, we in Pingchuan cannot afford to make this kind of historical mistake again today, and the ring road in Pingchuan is to be first-class." ”

At this time, Ju Tongan and Ye Qing both came over, and passers-by also looked this way from time to time.

Qian Xianghui was afraid that it would affect the traffic, so he said to Wu Mingxiong: "Come, get in my car, I'm about to go to the guest house to see your group of municipal party secretaries." ”

Wu Mingxiong said: "The car in our office is here. ”

Qian Xianghui said: "You take my car and let them go by themselves." ”

Wu Mingxiong immediately thought of the Hetian incident, thought of the ups and downs caused by roads and water conservancy projects, and thought that Qian Xianghui, secretary of the provincial party committee, might want to talk to him about something, and privately warn one or two, so he got into Qian Xianghui's car.

However, Qian Xianghui did not issue any warning, and did not even take the initiative to mention the Hetian incident and those rumors, but talked to Wu Mingxiong about the decisive role of infrastructure construction in economic take-off, and almost all of them were foreign affairs.

Qian Xianghui said: "Everyone knows that Japan and Germany, as defeated countries in World War II, built their economies on ruins after the war. At that time, international economists predicted that Japan and Germany would not be able to turn around within 30 years. Unexpectedly, in a short period of time, the economies of Japan and Germany have been improved. Of course, there are many factors in this, but there is one thing that inspires me a lot. Which point? It's infrastructure. In the darkest days of the post-war period, when the girls on the streets of Berlin and Tokyo were prostituting themselves for a loaf of bread and a rice ball, and the former white-collar workers were picking up cigarette butts from the ground to smoke, they did not forget the infrastructure of the whole country after the war. Many of Germany's famous highways were built at that time, and they are still in working order today. ”

Wu Mingxiong's heart suddenly warmed: "I was looking for information on this subject, and I wanted to see it myself, and I also wanted to ask the comrades in Pingchuan to take a look at it and further unify their understanding." Secretary Qian, can you recommend some to me? ”

Qian Xianghui said: "I'll open a bibliography for you when I go back!" ”

Wu Mingxiong took the initiative to say: "Regarding the water conservancy and road projects in Pingchuan, Secretary Qian, have you heard some discussions? ”

Qian Xianghui said very succinctly: "Speaking of which, it's a meeting in Hetian!" ”

Wu Mingxiong said: "Shang Dequan, secretary of the Hetian County Party Committee, has asked us to withdraw from the municipal party committee. However, this secretary of the county party committee is still a good comrade in essence, and we are really tearful. ”

Qian Xianghui never talked about Shang Dequan, nor did he mention specific matters, but said: "For you, the secretary of the municipal party committee, I have always said that you have great power and responsibility, and it is related to the rise and fall of a place. If the decision is wrong, it is you, the secretary of the municipal party committee, who are mainly responsible; If you find a problem and don't deal with it, you are the secretary of the municipal party committee who are responsible. The team you presided over made the right decision, and if you can handle the problems that arise and some unexpected events that are difficult to predict, and handle them impartially in accordance with party discipline and state law, I will have nothing to say about it. ”

Wu Mingxiong completely understood: Qian Xianghui was actually telling him that Xie Xuedong could not represent the provincial party committee, and Qian Xianghui, as the leader of the provincial party committee, supported him Wu Mingxiong to do practical things, and those irresponsible rumors could not deceive the eyes of the number one leader of the provincial party committee.

This made Wu Mingxiong very pleased.

However, what Wu Mingxiong did not expect was that at the same time when he and Qian Xianghui were sitting in the car and talking, another accident occurred at the Damohe water conservancy site: Mingchun, deputy county magistrate of Shuichang County and commander of the water conservancy project of Shuichang County, accepted a bribe of 800 yuan from Fang Xiaofang, the female manager of a certain leather bag company, and actually sold a batch of expired low-quality instant noodles to the Shuichangduan construction site, resulting in food poisoning for 432 people, which aroused great indignation among the Shuichang migrant workers, and about 13,000 people announced the suspension of work from 15 o'clock on the same day.

It is impossible to find out who is the leader of the organization of the stoppage.
