Official road bends

Li Yi said: "What's the matter? Why are you two so surprised?"

Liu Yiping said: "I checked 114 just now and asked for the phone number of Guanyuan. I wanted to book a box. Who knew that after asking, I wasn't scared to death! It turns out that the boxes here are divided into levels, starting from the department level. , Department level all the way to the richest man level! And they are all so expensive, I asked a few more questions, but the cheapest department level has been booked.. In the end, there is only one richest man level. I was hesitating, but someone snatched it away Yes. Now that we can't book a box, will Minister Xu be very angry? We don't care, but he won't sit and eat in the lobby with civilians, will he?"

Gao Tianzhen looked at Xu Weichang who was not far away, and said, "I called and booked a box in Guanyuan just now, but I didn't get one."

"Hey!" Li Yi laughed and said, "So you are the gentleman who booked a box with me!"

Liu Yiping suddenly said: "So, Mayor Li, you booked that department-level box? It's okay, it's okay."

Li Yi said: "I didn't book a box either. Only the lobby."

"Comrade Li Yi." Xu Weichang walked over and said with a smile, "Did you not book a box?"

Li Yi said: "Yes, I didn't expect the boxes in Guanyuan to be so tight."

"Hehe," Xu Weichang said, "It doesn't matter. The food tastes really good here, and it's the same in the lobby. Comrade He Ke's words are a bit harsh, please don't mind."

"Ah, where, where." Li Yi and others said: "Leader He is upright. Rare, rare."

Xu Weichang said: "My wife passed away early. For more than ten years, I have been single. Recently, my child has gone abroad, and I have become even more lonely. Comrade He Ke was introduced to me by a friend. She is also single. After three years divorced before."

Li Yi was taken aback for a moment, thinking that this is the case, he had thought too much before.Xu Weichang was not the kind of person he imagined.

Xu Weichang smiled and said: "I'm afraid you're thinking wrong, so I explain. I was going to invite Comrade He Ke to dinner today. This is also the first meeting since I met her, so it should be more grand. Originally, I I don't want to go to your banquet, but if I don't come, you will say how I am putting on airs!"

Li Yi quickly straightened his face and said, "Minister Xu, you are worrying too much. We dare not speculate about the leader's private life."

Xu Weichang waved his hand and said: "I don't blame you for guessing. There is indeed a bad way of doing things now, people are not allowed to think about it! Sigh! By the way, I will pay for the banquet tonight."

"Then how?" Li Yi said, "Absolutely not!"

Xu Weichang smiled and said: "You don't know, Comrade He Ke's family conditions are very good. Although she works in the government department, his father and two elder brothers are well-known big businessmen in the capital. It's just because she doesn't like business. I just found a stable job. She has been tricky with her mouth since she was a child, and she really doesn't use her chopsticks very much for ordinary meals."

Li Yi smiled and said: "So that's the case, I was still thinking, this woman must be a lady of every family! As expected."

Xu Weichang said: "In the car that came, I already called Guanyuan and booked a table. It was charged to my account. There are not many dishes, just enough to eat. You are the local leaders, You must be used to hard work and simplicity, so you shouldn’t dislike it, right?”

"Where, where!" Li Yi was really embarrassed, and said, "Minister Xu, you are so polite!"

Seeing that Li Yi and others were standing outside, Xu Weichang asked, "Have you hired anyone yet?"

Li Yi said: "There are two more friends coming, and they will be there soon."

While talking, Gu Zhiwu came, and he was able to call him. When he got out of the car, he laughed and punched Li Yi, making him seem very intimate.

Liu Yiping and Gao Tianzhen were dumbfounded, thinking, isn't Mayor Li going to invite a big shot?

How come such a young little man?

Perhaps, another person is the real big shot invited by Mayor Li?

Just as he was thinking, Shi Shiran, a well-dressed, well-groomed woman with light makeup on, walked over.

Li Yi stepped forward and said with a smile: "Secretary Xiaoyan, hello, thank you for your face."

It was Xiaoyan who came.

Xiaoyan shook hands with Li Yi, and said with a smile: "I thought you were inviting me to dinner alone! I made it very grand and formal, and I came here only when I was dressed up!"

Li Yi chuckled.

Liu Yiping and Gao Tianzhen looked at each other.

They were all thinking, why is Mayor Li so unreliable all of a sudden?

What kind of person is this invited?

A young man in his twenties, and a pretty little girl!

Asking them to accompany Minister Xu for dinner will not improve their status, but will lower their price!

When Li Yi was about to introduce, Xu Weichang laughed and said, "Isn't this Director Gu?"

Gu Zhiwu said: "Minister Xu, hello."

Xu Weichang said: "I didn't expect to see Director Gu here, it's really great."

Gu Zhiwu said: "Li Yi is my friend."

Liu Yiping and Gao Tianzhen were secretly surprised, seeing Xu Weichang's expression, does this Gu Zhiwu really have a lot of background?

Gu Zhiwu said: "Minister Xu, last night, several leaders of your Ministry of Communications had a meeting and research in the chief's office until early in the morning. I don't know what big problem they are studying?"

Xu Weichang said: "The chief has a problem with the Ministry of Communications, saying that we don't do anything! He severely criticized us and told us to come up with a big plan. If we can't come up with it, we will dismiss a group of people! No, I I was so busy last night that I didn’t go to sleep until four o’clock in the morning! I’m not in a good mood this day.”

After hearing this, Li Yi thought to himself, no wonder Xu Weichang was yawning all the time. It turned out that he had been working so hard last night and didn't go to sleep until early in the morning. I don't know, but I thought he was doing something last night!

Since then, Li Yi secretly told himself that when you look at people and things, you must not jump to conclusions based on the first impression. Before you understand the real reason of the matter, don't preconceive a conclusion for a person.

"Minister Xu has worked so hard." Li Yi said sincerely, as if apologizing for his previous inner thoughts.

Xu Weichang said with a smile: "Comrade Li Yi, I have also worked here. I know that you work harder than us. Your comrades below are all doing specific things, which are numerous and complicated. They are much more tiring than us."

Li Yi introduced Xiaoyan. "Minister Xu, this is Comrade Xiaoyan. He is a staff member of the No. [-] chief's office."

"Secretary Xiaoyan." Xu Weichang couldn't help straightening his face.

"Hello, Minister Xu." Xiaoyan smiled slightly.

Li Yi introduced his two friends to others.

Gao Tianzhen and Liu Yiping were truly dumbfounded!

They didn't expect that the two young people Li Yi invited were the secretary of the State Office and the secretary of the Central Office!

The weight of these two people is indeed very heavy!

No wonder Li Yi said that although these two people are not chiefs, they are not far behind!

Aren't the people around the chief also the chief?

Everyone greeted a few words and entered the viewing garden.

To Li Yi's surprise, Guanyuan's business was really booming, and even the hall was full of people.

Xu Weichang reserved a private seat in the lobby, by the window, and the environment is not bad.

Everyone sat at a table and chatted.

Li Yi said: "Minister Xu, I don't know if you have thought about it. The suggestion I made to you may be recognized and affirmed by the chief? If the chief really agrees, then your Ministry of Communications will come up with the best Is there a plan?"

"The village-to-village road plan you mentioned?" Xu Weichang said.

"Yes." Li Yi said: "I think my report is feasible."

Xu Weichang said: "Now that the country is vigorously developing the construction of highways, it is not realistic to invest so much money in the rural area."

Li Yi said: "The country's reform and opening up have reached a certain level, and some people have already become rich first. The important task now is to let other people get rich as well. To get rich, first build roads, and to develop rural areas, roads must be built. , this is an inescapable link.”

Xiaoyan asked: "Mayor Li, what's your best idea? Tell me, and I'll listen too."

Li Yi said his idea.

Xiaoyan said: "This is a good thing. Last time the chief inspected the work of agriculture, rural areas, and rural areas, he also proposed that we should vigorously develop agriculture, develop rural areas, improve farmers' living standards, and increase the income of agriculture, rural areas, and farmers. I think this suggestion is very good. , I will find an opportunity to say something in front of the chief and report it for you!"

Li Yi said: "Then I am very grateful to Secretary Xiaoyan."

Gu Zhiwu said with a smile: "Li Yi, the chief pays close attention to your every move in Yizhou. Once I heard him say that he would go to Xishu if he had time. It seems that the chief still wants to go Inspecting your achievements in Yizhou."

Li Yi said: "Zhiwu, you can also learn from Secretary Xiaoyan, and help me report in front of the chief?"

Gu Zhiwu said: "I'm wrong, don't I have enough to say for you? As long as there is a chance, I will mention your name in front of the chief! Looking at the department-level cadres in the whole country, the exposure rate of your name in front of the chief is absolutely incredible. is the highest."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Xu Weichang said: "If the two chief ministers are willing to implement this policy, there will be absolutely no problem."

Li Yi said: "Minister Xu, the problem is that if the chiefs come to implement the policy, you and the Ministry of Communications will have nothing to do! Now, this suggestion is only known to you. You take it seriously and take it seriously." Report to the central government, and when the time comes, the higher authorities will agree, then this great contribution will naturally belong to you, and even the peasants across the country will appreciate you!"

These words moved Xu Weichang.

He stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Indeed, this is an opportunity!

If he succeeds, then he has put forward an excellent suggestion, which is likely to be recognized and appreciated by the head of the central government, and it will be improved to a higher level.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if the central government did not agree, there would be no loss for Xu Weichang! (To be continued.)
