In the quiet and spacious office, Chen Youwei sat next to Vice Mayor Li Guoqiang.

picked up a cigarette from the coffee table and handed it over, Chen Youwei asked with a smile: "At the meeting just now, Lao Li, you didn't speak much, is there any concern?" ”

Li Guoqiang took the cigarette and took out the lighter to help the smiling young mayor in front of him light the fire.

"I don't have any worries, I'm just thinking that such a huge project as Gonggong requires the cooperation of all parties, and there are too many problems that need to be coordinated."

Chen Youwei nodded, got up and came to the corner of the office to brew tea, and said with a smile: "Lao Li, your worry is very necessary, you have also seen the situation at the meeting just now, everyone did not say it explicitly, but the meaning of this vague opposition is obvious." ”

"To tell Mayor Chen, I have a lot of pressure on me in terms of the large-scale urban renovation carried out in Spring City in the past two years. Now that there is such a huge project as Gonggonggou, I feel even more difficult. Li Guoqiang did not hide the meaning of what he thought in his heart, stared at Chen Youwei and said directly.

Holding the fragrant teacup, Chen Youwei handed it to Li Guoqiang, sat down and lit a cigarette and said in a deep voice: "I can understand Lao Li's feelings, but if you want to make Spring City have a reborn after rebirth, it is obviously unrealistic without such a large-scale improvement of urban infrastructure." ”

Gently spitting out the curling green smoke, Chen Youwei's eyes flashed with bright brilliance, and said with a smile: "Although the pressure is not small, the pride after this success may be enough for us to remember for a lifetime!" ”

"Hehe, if Mayor Chen is in the army, he will definitely be a political commissar with excellent performance!"

Li Guoqiang recently arced, shook his head and sighed: "That's what I said, when I was engaged in a big battle in the army, that is, no matter how big the difficulties were, we had to stand up!" Although it is now a place in peacetime, the old traditions in our army really cannot be left behind! ”

"As the leader in charge of various departments in charge of municipal facilities, it is natural to consider the problem from the perspective of their own work, which will naturally be one-sided."

Chen Youwei took a sip of his cigarette and said in a deep voice: "But as a leading position at the level of our Chuncheng City Government, looking at such a huge project as Gonggonggou with novel ideas, it is still necessary to look at the problem from a long-term and overall situation with a more far-sighted view. ”

Li Guoqiang, who is 55 years old this year, did not feel the slightest awkwardness or discomfort when he listened to the other party's tone in front of this young mayor, who was 25 or 6 years younger than himself.

"Mayor, such a thing as Gonggonggou is unheard of in the whole country, will the province pass such a project if we do it?" Li Guoqiang asked worriedly.

Chen Youwei waved his hand and shook his head: "This is our own municipal construction of Chuncheng City, as long as the Chuncheng Municipal Party Committee and the People's Congress approve it, we can carry out this project ourselves." As long as we make the goal and significance of the common ditch clear to everyone, I believe that everyone will still have a sober and wise decision. ”

Although the young mayor said it clearly, Li Guoqiang did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and the current power structure of Spring City, an old man like an officialdom, has long been like a mirror.

The deputy mayor in charge of urban construction in the past few years in Chuncheng is not a very oily official.

Thinking about it, you can know that a large number of state-owned enterprises are struggling, and the finances of the entire Spring City are very tight, unless there are some necessary urban construction projects, Li Guoqiang, the deputy mayor who is anxious for funds all day long, where does he have so much leisure to think about other things.

Since the beginning of this year, with the gradual improvement of the overall economic environment of Chuncheng, this thankless department in the eyes of everyone in the past has become the most eye-catching place in the entire Chuncheng and even in northern Liaoning Province.

Li Guoqiang has served as this vice mayor for five years, and after the change of the people's congress at the end of this year, the probability of stepping down from the second line is quite high.

It is precisely in this kind of tangled and disturbing moment, but the young mayor is obviously adding such a big burden to his shoulders, to say that Li Guoqiang does not have too many thoughts in his heart at the moment, it is simply impossible.

As if he didn't know what Li Guoqiang really thought in his heart, Chen Youwei continued to talk about the idea of the common ditch.

"In terms of tap water alone, the convenience of this common ditch is obvious."

Chen Youwei frowned lightly and said faintly: "The terrain of Spring City is generally high in the west and low in the east, and the water intakes of the entire city's waterworks are in the east of the city. ”

Li Guoqiang knew these things very clearly, nodded lightly and sighed: "The waterworks are fortunately state-owned enterprises, otherwise just this unnecessary increase in electricity costs every year is enough for any enterprise to suffer!" ”

"Not only that, the water pipes in the entire Spring City are intricate, and the earliest can even be traced back to the Puppet Manchurian period."

Chen Youwei said in a deep voice with complicated eyes: "This underground pipe spanning decades, with different specifications and materials, once damaged, is no less than a huge and arduous work for the waterworks." It's not surprising that the road is constantly being disrupted! ”

Li Guoqiang nodded silently, but deep down he agreed with the young mayor's strong sense of distress.

"And because of the above reasons, the water pipeline is also very serious every year, it is estimated that the proportion of tap water in the underground pipe network of Chuncheng every year is as high as 20 percent, such a serious situation is not fundamentally improved, not only a serious waste of water resources, but also a specific manifestation of the dereliction of duty of our city managers." Chen Youwei's eyes were cold, and his tone became more and more serious.

Li Guoqiang was moved for a while, he naturally didn't expect that the young mayor would regard the importance of the common ditch so highly.

"Lao Li is fifty-five this year, right?" Chen Youwei turned his head and asked the other party with a smile in the corner of his eyes.

Li Guoqiang didn't know why, and replied strangely: "On the night of my birthday, I will only be 55 years old at the end of the year. ”

"This age is the time when Lao Dang is strong and has the most experience, and I think it is logical for Lao Li to do it for another term!" Chen Youwei seemed to be talking about something very ordinary, and his tone was flat and calm to the extreme.

Li Guoqiang was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that the young mayor in front of him, who was as calm as a mountain, was really speechless.

Is this an olive branch thrown by the other party to himself?

Li Guoqiang was puzzled, he knew that although his level in Chuncheng was not low, compared to those colleagues who had entered the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee early, he could reach the current position without too much background.

Li Guoqiang, who didn't have much hope to be able to do it for another term, suddenly heard such a surprising but **** word at this time, and his eyes were hot in his heart, staring closely at the young mayor's handsome face.

Yes, the age of fifty-five is indeed the time to retire from the second line in the eyes of ordinary people.

Especially in the case that Li Guoqiang, who does not have much support in Chuncheng, especially in northern Liaoning Province, the most ideal result after serving as a deputy mayor is to become a deputy at the department level in the municipal people's congress or the CPPCC, and he can retire with honor after staying up to the legal retirement age of 60 years old.

Li Guoqiang received Chen Youwei's sudden assurance at this moment, and his heart was surging immediately, and he naturally knew that the other party would not talk about this for no reason.

"The development of Spring City has its own economic development, if you want to get a rapid and stable development process, you must have a relatively stable environment. There are leading cadres like Lao Li who have considerable work experience, and the current Spring City is very urgently needed! ”

Chen Youwei stared at Li Guoqiang, who was in an excited mood, and nodded: "From this point of view, I very much hope that Lao Li you can do another term, let us all work together to build Spring City more beautiful and rich!" ”

Li Guoqiang's heart was excited, he knew that his political life was about to take a huge turn, and such a big **** made him simply not have the slightest resistance.

In a room not far from Mayor Chen Youwei's office, Xiao Ping, who returned from the small conference room, was not idle.

Sitting on the high chair behind his desk and pondering for a while, Xiao Ping picked up the phone and dialed a familiar number.

"Secretary Nan, I'm Xiao Ping, that person is moving again!" Xiao Ping simply informed the other party of the content of the meeting just now, and habitually asked: "Look, what are we going to do?" ”

Nan Guangdou on the other side of the phone perked up and said, "You mean that kid wants to engage in a common ditch project with an investment scale of more than one billion?" ”

"Yes!" Xiao Ping was respectful, without a trace of impatience.

"Good!" Nan Guangdou was a little excited, and said excitedly: "Let him do it!" Ha Luha, I thought this kid was always leaking, but now this is finally showing a flaw! ”

Xiao Ping said with some unease: "But I don't feel that he is impulsive......"

Nan Guangdou calmed down and muttered: "I've heard of the common ditch, and the developed countries in Europe and the United States have only just tried it, and there are countless problems in it. So I dare to say, Chen Youwei, this kid is too radical, does he really think that with that little bit of wealth in Spring City, he can do whatever he wants?! ”

Xiao Ping understood a little, and complimented: "I understand what Secretary Nan meant......

"It's good to understand, since he wants to do it, then don't stop him from doing it, just let him do it, but creating some small trouble for him in the middle can be regarded as a test for him, don't you say?" Nan Guangdou chuckled, smug.

Xiao Ping smiled knowingly and hung up the phone gently.

At this moment, Chen Youwei and Li Guoqiang are talking and laughing, where would they know that someone in Lu Dao has been carrying out some conspiracies and tricks against him that cannot see the light.

However, at this time, he was able to successfully subdue a member of his generals, and Chen Youwei, who was in a very good mood, was relaxed and comfortable, so he was not happy.

In the next few years, urban construction work will be the top priority of Spring City, and having a safe person to help him manage all this will make Chen Youwei's burden very lightened.

"Ring, ring, ring", a hurried phone rang.

Chen Youwei got up from the sofa with a smile and came to the desk to pick up the phone.

"What? A mining disaster occurred in Jinjiling Mine in Beifang County! ”
