Tian Liye accompanied Xinhua News Agency reporter Li Xinxiang to interview the Pingyang Rolling Mill for a whole day. In the morning, a forum for middle-level and above cadres was held, and in the afternoon, a forum for front-line workers was held. The cadres complained bitterly, and the workers scolded their mothers. Especially the symposium of front-line workers, which almost turned into a grievance struggle meeting, seeing that the situation could not be controlled, Tian Liye pulled Li Xinxiang to end in a hurry.

At dinner in the evening, facing a table of wine and food, Li Xinxiang couldn't eat it anymore, and in front of Tian Liye, she said to He Zhuoxiao, the director of the rolling mill: "Let's not eat this table of wine and food, it's not that I talk about clean government, I have participated in a lot of reception banquets in the following units, and Australian lobsters are eaten, but I don't dare to eat this table of dishes, and I can't eat them." ”

He Zhuoxiao was very embarrassed and said: "Secretary Jiang and Mayor Wen have greeted each other, I want to entertain you well, this is ......."

Li Xinxiang said: "Director He, don't do this or that, let's have a light meal, you save some entertainment expenses, and help front-line workers solve some practical difficulties!" Is it okay for me to participate in poverty alleviation?! ”

Li Xinxiang's attitude made Tian Liye awe-inspired, and Tian Liye also said, "Then let's eat." ”

After a quick meal, Tian Liye took Li Xinxiang to the guest house of the flat rolling mill.

In the guest house, Li Xinxiang was still indignant: "...... Tian Mi, I really didn't expect that this flat rolling mill has practiced the country's 1.2 billion yuan, and it has also pitted so many workers! Are the two pieces of money in the hands of the workers easy to come by? You don't have the ability to roll out steel plates, what kind of money do you force workers to raise? ”

Tian Liye immediately explained: "Reporter Li, you are misunderstood. The situation reported by the workers is also one-sided, and I know the situation of fund-raising, and there is no coercion at all. At that time, the flat rolling mill was a popular state-owned unit, and there was a large investment from the state, so no one expected it to collapse and wanted to squeeze into the mill. Mayor Wen received more than a dozen notes a day. There was really no way, Director He and they started voluntary fund-raising in line with the idea of reform, and those who entered the flat rolling mill paid 3,000 yuan per person, and later, there were still many people who wanted to enter the flat rolling mill, and it was changed to 5,000. ”

Li Xinxiang asked: "Why haven't you paid it back?" It's been so long, can the workers be okay?! ”

Tian Liye said with a bitter face: "How can you pay it back?" I can't even pay my salary. Besides, this fundraising fund also has the nature of a risk collateral, so you can't make it for yourself and the country if you lose it, right? This is not in line with the principle of reform, is it? ”

Li Xinxiang was very serious: "Tian Mi, what you said is not right, the money taken out by the workers is fundraising, not shareholding." Of course, there is a risk sharing to invest in shares, and fundraising is another matter......"

As soon as he said this, a big head with a small flat head reached into the door, and as the big head stuck into the door, there was a shout with a high throat and a loud voice: "Okay, you Tian Mimi, deliberately avoiding me?!" ”

Tian Liye looked at the big head and was happy: "Commander Hu, how did you find here?" Then he introduced to Li Xinxiang, "This is Hu Zaoqiu, deputy secretary of the Jinghu Municipal Party Committee and executive deputy mayor, and Commander Hu. ”

Hu Zaoqiu nodded at Li Xinxiang, shook hands with Li Xinxiang politely, stared at Tian Liye again, and said endlessly: "I said Tian Mimi, are you fooling me?" You really don't take us seriously from the rural cadres of Qipin, ah? Didn't you say it was decided last time in Mirror Lake? After the opening ceremony of the cross-sea bridge, you brought all the reporters from Beijing and the provincial capital to our Jinghu Lake to help me blow it, why haven't you seen a ghost shadow now? You didn't participate in the city's party and government cadres meeting today, so I took the dog and the eagle all over the city to find you. When I found your house, your mother said that you kid didn't know where to take the 'alcohol test'......"

Li Xinxiang was in front of her, Tian Liye didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he said: "What 'alcohol test'? I have a job! ”

Hu Zaoqiu is still out of shape: "Isn't there a job?" Visiting the poor in the flat rolling mill is coming! The new secretary Gao Changhe took office on the first day, you visited the poor and asked about the suffering, and Gao Changhe knew about it, can you not mention you? Admire, admire, brother really admire! ”

Tian Liye was anxious: "Commander Hu, don't talk nonsense, okay?" This is Reporter Li, the chief reporter of the Xinhua News Agency, if people write down your words and report them, I think you will be able to raise you to three levels in a row! ”

As soon as he heard that he was a reporter and that he was the chief reporter of the Xinhua News Agency, Hu Zaoqiu's attitude changed drastically, and he hurriedly rushed over to shake hands with Li Xinxiang again to show his solemnity, and said while shaking hands: "Reporter Li, I am fortunate to have a good meeting, I am fortunate to have a good meeting, and your Xinhua News Agency's "Daily Telegraph" is a must-read for me every day, and it is better than the "People's Daily!" ”

Tian Liye said: "Reporter Li, don't fall for this kid, he met the reporter of which newspaper to praise which newspaper is doing well, in fact, there is only one purpose, that is, to let you blow his ......."

Li Xinxiang was so amused that she laughed: "Tian Mi, I think it's not easy for Mayor Hu to know that we have a "Daily Telegraph", isn't it, Mayor Hu?" I'm afraid you don't read our newspaper, right? ”

Tian Liye sneered: "As long as you blow him in the newspaper, he will read it." ”

Hu Zaoqiu was not embarrassed at all: "Reporter Li, you are a friend of Tian Mi, in front of you, I don't tell lies, I want you to publicize our Jinghu more, our Jinghu is a good place, it has changed a lot in the past few years!" If you don't publicize it, the outside world won't know that we have done so many practical things, and we can't see it from above......"

Tian Liye interjected again: "Therefore, our Commander Hu has always been unable to mention it, and now he is still from the seventh grade." ”

Hu Zaoqiu sighed, and he didn't know if it was true or not: "Yes, yes, from the seventh grade, Tian Secretary has become the leader of the municipal party committee, and he doesn't want to take out my sub-word, we rural cadres are just tired to death, and Tian Mi can't see it." ”

Tian Liye said: "You are from the seventh grade, and I am not the seventh grade, don't you still have a vice?" ”

Li Xinxiang smiled again......

As a result, the atmosphere changed dramatically, and the dull depression brought by the flat rolling mill disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Hu Zaoqiu was a natural diplomat, and he was very good at getting close to reporters, and taking advantage of this enthusiasm, he enthusiastically proposed to go out for a ride, saying that it was a highway, and he could rush to Jinghu Lake in 40 minutes to eat fish, and by the way, he could also inspect the big deals he was on.

Li Xinxiang was moved and asked for Tian Liye's opinion with her eyes.

Tian Liye didn't do it, and said: "Reporter Li, don't fall for him, as long as we get in his car, don't think about Ansheng this night, his big deal must let you see the dawn, and you can't do it to eat a few fish." Besides, we have something to do tomorrow, and we have to talk to Mayor Wen about the rolling mill. ”

Hu Zaoqiu's eyes rolled, and he suggested: "Then how about going to the ****** opened by our Jinghu City?" Not far away, in Pingyang City, there are also fish, four-eyed carp, bowling, karaoke or something, by the way, I also reported to the Xinhua News Agency Li and the municipal party committee Tian to report the work. This is a rare opportunity, and you must also give our rural cadres a chance to keep in close contact with the leaders! ”

This time, without letting Tian Liye express his position, Li Xinxiang spoke first: "Okay, Mayor Hu, let's go eat you once!" ”

Tian Liye could see that the female reporter in front of him had a good impression of Hu Zaoqiu, and she was happy to push the boat, so she didn't say anything more, and together with Li Xinxiang, she went to the Santana brought by Hu Zaoqiu's meeting.

Sitting in the car, Li Xinxiang asked, "I don't think the relationship between the two of you is very ordinary, right?" ”

Tian Liye said: "That is, in college, we were classmates and roommates, I was on the top bunk, he was on the bottom bunk, and he copied all my homework until graduation, and even the papers I helped him do." Hey, Commander Hu, I really have a deep affection for you, right?! ”

Hu Zaoqiu immediately retorted: "That's really affectionate!" If I copy your homework once, I will have to invite you to drink once, and the money sent by my family is not enough to spend, and even the pullback sneakers that my lover gave me are forced to sell you. Reporter Li, don't you know that our Tian leader had an economic acumen when he was in college, and he never spent money on drinking! ”

Tian Liye said: "Look, for a pair of stinky shoes, I am still haunted by it, you friend, I am a white friend!" Do you recall, did you wear those sneakers after the transfer of ownership? Have you washed it if you wear it dirty? ”

Hu Zaoqiu smiled: "It's always me who suffers, right?" I sold the shoes to you for five dollars, and we drank the wine together, and the property rights of the shoes belonged to you again. So, when I saw you looking so alive in those sneakers, I felt very unbalanced and hoped it was inferior......"

Li Xinxiang couldn't breathe with laughter: "Don't talk about it, you can't eat fish if you laugh!" ”

Tian Liye got serious at this time, sighed and said: "At that time, I was also poor, my father was a construction worker, with a salary of sixty-seven yuan a month, and the family of seven people ate. ”

Li Xinxiang said: "It's good to go to college today at your own expense, but everyone has money in their hands and can afford it." ”

Tian Liye shook his head: "Not everyone can afford to go to college, my sister's son is going to college this year, and the family is worried to death." My sister was laid off, and the efficiency of my brother-in-law's factory was not good......"

This made Li Xinxiang quite surprised: "You officials are at the county level, and you still have this kind of trouble?" ”

Tian Liye made a bitter face: "What's wrong at the county level?" The salary is so much, not greedy or occupied, that is, a two-sleeved breeze and a stomach of alcohol! Of course, we have more money on hand than ordinary people! ”
