Jagged City - Chapter 260 Feeling Lost

Two days later, at Ouyang Qing He Ning's engagement ceremony, Lin Tao made an appearance as a special guest. ╠中?文 ╣For Lin Tao, a great matchmaker, not only the lovers are grateful, but the parents of both parties are also very satisfied.They all feel that this red line is drawn well. Dean He is an academic and one of the popular candidates for the general. Dean He is also very interested in the hero Lin Tao, whom his son He Ning admires.Lin Tao talked elegantly, and he knew what he knew and what he didn't know about several military issues that Dean He had asked about in the college entrance examination. , it is rumored that Lin Tao relied on the old monk Jin's old connections to get to the top, it seems that it is just the jealousy of a caring person.He is also very relieved that his son can serve as Dean He under Lin Tao.Dean He also asked Lin Tao about the development of the western region. Lin Tao still has a say in this point relative to military issues.Lin Tao explained the profound things in a simple way, and talked about his views based on the current situation of Xiliang.The most obvious feature of the west is that it has a vast territory, a small population, and relatively large room for development. The disadvantage is desolation and severe desertification.To develop the west, it is not enough to rely on the development of mineral oil fields and cheap land to attract investment. It must be persevering. Lin Tao believes that if the country increases investment in greening, in 20 years, the entire Northwest will definitely take on a new look.In addition, it is necessary to further strengthen national unity, strangle ethnic separatist forces, and then strengthen good-neighborly and friendly relations, expand bilateral trade, and so on.

The development of the western region is a comprehensive issue, which cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Dean He still appreciates Lin Tao's point of view, and can't help but nod frequently.Mama He couldn't stand it any longer, and couldn't help but said, "Old He, Major General Lin is not your student, you don't need to take the exam at home."

"Hehe, seeing such a talented person, I can't help it—" Dean He laughed.

"It's still a mature man with a family. Compared with Major General Lin, He Ning is like a boy." Looking at Lin Tao, who was two or three years older than her son, He's mother was filled with emotion. She always thought that her son was good and young. Promising, you can get on the stage wherever you go.But there is no comparison with Lin Tao, a 30-year-old major general and mayor of a prefecture-level city.It is the only one in the whole country, and what makes people unable to fault it is that Lin Tao's family has no background, his father is an ordinary businessman, and Lin Tao's status was won by the city itself.It's not like a [-]-year-old deputy mayor in various places will attract a lot of heated discussions, such as the children of the country's leaders, and the secret speculation and so on.Lin Tao's position was won by himself bit by bit, and there was no adulteration.

"In front of parents, a child is always a child. But after getting married, a man takes on more responsibilities, so he should be more mature. He Ning has done a good job in Xiliang during this period, with a flexible mind and outstanding ability, and has achieved many achievements. A tiger father has no dogs, and with the influence of uncles and aunts, He Ning will have a bright future."

When Mother He heard Lin Tao praise her son, she immediately laughed from ear to ear.Dean He shook his head while watching, and said to himself, women are just vanity.

Mother He asked Ouyang Qing on the sidelines again. Lin Tao only said that Ouyang Qing was a top student when he was in school. He worked in Xiliang. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along for a long time, so let's slowly discover the advantages.

After Lin Tao talked with He Ning's parents, he was called away by Ouyang Qing. He met Ouyang Qing's parents and aunts and uncles.Ouyang Qing's parents are very ordinary, with love and reluctance for their daughter revealed in their eyes.Ouyang Qing's aunt and uncle are both government officials, one is the governor of a western province, and the other is the organization minister.They are all powerful players. They are over forty and five years old, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.It may be that he has been in an official position for a long time. Although he is as relaxed as possible, he still shows official authority from time to time.However, Lin Tao and No. [-] were chatting and laughing happily, and naturally he was not afraid of the couple of the feudal officials, and chatted with Ouyang Qing's four elders.

Ouyang Qin said with a smile: "He Ning, this child looks very good. Although he hasn't been in touch with him a few times, he feels good. Who made Xiaoqing see him right? He is going to be engaged soon, but we still want to get her from you." Get to know He Ning."

Lin Tao felt funny in his heart, the parents of both parties were like this, and the engagement ceremony was about to be held, and they were worried about gain and loss.Lin Tao said with a smile that he has only been in contact with He Ning for half a year, but He Ning gives people the impression that He Ning is shrewd, capable, empathetic, and a very good young man.If you really want to know about He Ning, you have to ask Ouyang Qing.Ouyang Qing blushed slightly, and glared at Lin Tao reproachfully.Ouyang Qin said in her heart, if Lin Tao hadn't married, what a good couple this would be, but she just thought about it, and she didn't dare to tell Ouyang Qing.Fortunately, it is not enough compared to the top, but it is more than the bottom, and He Ning has a deep foundation and a very good family background.Although Dean He is an academician, he has a high prestige and will be helpful to both He Ning and Ouyang Qing in the future. Moreover, if he is married to the He family, Ouyang Qin and Liu Zhenhua will naturally rise. This is the benefit of a strong alliance. If others want to deal with The couple also had to consider the influence of the He family.Therefore, Ouyang Qin and Liu Zhenhua are still grateful to Lin Tao from the bottom of their hearts.Moreover, Lin Tao is still a bright new star, so it is of great benefit to meet him.

"Brother Lin, Xiliang is attracting worldwide attention now. Can I work in your place after I graduate? When it's near the water tower, I can visit the underground palace first." The one who spoke was Ouyang Qing's cousin, Liu Yunfei.In his early twenties, he looks very lively.

Liu Zhenhua snorted, "Work is not about joining in the fun. With your attitude, you should go to the villages and towns to hone it for two years."

"I don't want to go to the villages and towns. If I want to go, I will go to the Xiliang New District. Otherwise, I will stay in Beijing or go abroad to study for graduate school."

Lin Tao felt that this Liu Yunfei was a little spoiled, thinking about it, it was just this single seedling, which was the baby bump of his parents. In a family like Ouyangqing and Liu Zhenhua, they didn't have to worry about eating, drinking, and spending money. They didn't spend much time with their parents. It's normal to be a bit proud, and Ouyang Qing was also like that back then, maybe there is some blood relationship.

"It's not up to you. You have to work and graduate school at the same time. Study and work should not be delayed. Besides, you are just playing in school, and it is impossible to be like before. You have to find a job when you graduate in July, or in October. Exam for civil servants." Ouyang Qin said angrily.

"You are a dictatorship, do I still have personal freedom?" Liu Yunfei said dissatisfied.

Liu Zhenhua said with a sullen face: "What you need now is not freedom, but self-reliance. I think this is good. After graduation, arrange for him to go to Xiaoqing's subordinate township."

"Tch, I can find a job myself. I don't want to go to the countryside. If I want to go, I can go to Xiliang New District. Otherwise, I can find a job in Shanghai and Beijing, and I can earn money to support myself."

Lin Tao listened with a smile, this is a family matter, and it is not his turn to intervene.

Half an hour later, the engagement ceremony began. Lin Tao, the host of the engagement ceremony, delivered a congratulatory speech on behalf of both parties, announcing their engagement.The engagement ceremony this time was simple and grand, to put it simply, there was no excessive publicity at the engagement ceremony, and there were no more than a hundred people present.Speaking of solemnity, the people present are all important, the departmental level is not considered a big cadre here, there are more than a dozen provincial and ministerial level, and there are five or six lieutenant generals.Walking through the grassland, there are still three or four old Red Army soldiers who have beaten the devils. Although they are all octogenarians, they are very energetic. The plain green uniforms are heavily covered with various medals.These are all comrades-in-arms of Grandpa He Ning back then. It is really a blessing to be alive to this day, and every family treats them as old treasures.

The soldiers present were all with the rank of general, and He Ning didn't want to be robbed of the limelight, so at the engagement ceremony, He Ning wore a police inspector's costume and looked very energetic.

Seeing Ouyang Qing holding He Ning's arm and showing a sweet smile, Lin Tao felt somewhat lost, but seeing Ouyang Qing find his own happiness, Lin Tao was still very happy.If he hadn't met Ouyang Qing in Xiliang, maybe Ouyang Qing was just a not-so-deep memory in high school.When they met in Xiguan County, Ouyang Qing burst into tears, which made Lin Tao feel affection for Ouyang Qing, and he felt complacent and blamed himself at the same time.That's why he introduced this old girl to He Ning, who is quite talented and beautiful.Seeing that the two lovers finally got married, Lin Tao felt that the small vortex in his emotions should also disappear. This is a test for himself.

The next day, Lin Tao and Xiao Xiao returned to the northwest again, and the pair of children had been sent back by their father Lin Zhiyuan.As soon as Xiao Xiao came home, she picked up the two babies and kissed them non-stop.The next guy made an indistinct Mama sound.It looks like it will take less than two months to speak.Lin Tao was non-stop, and once he got home, he started to visit around. Zhao Sifang's house and the houses of several standing committee members in the province all went around.Only then returned to Xiliang.Not a day after returning to Xiliang, a group of brothers and sisters from their hometown in Baishi Town came up.The second uncle's family has two brothers, and the third uncle's family has three brothers and sisters.I spent a day with my brothers and sisters in Xiliang, and then arranged for Gaotian training base.One month of special training.Lin Tao can only take time to instruct them in martial arts.

In Lin Tao's position, it is rare to be free.As the mayor of a city, there are naturally many people who come to visit. Although there is no food left, it is still very annoying to come to twenty or thirty.But you can’t turn people away, so you have to greet them with a smile. As the saying goes, don’t hit a smiley face. People come to the door with all kinds of gifts and smiles on their faces. Can you put on a face?

The Spring Festival holiday is over, the official work starts, and various indicators of the new district are scheduled to enter the schedule.With the rapid development of the new district, highways leading to the four surrounding cities have also begun to be laid.After research, the new airport project was formally reported to the relevant units of the province and the State Council.The complicated machine of the Xiliang government was running at high speed.

In April in Yangchun, Xiliang New District started to make big moves again. In addition to the airport project, it also started a large-scale afforestation of 20 mu. Jin Zhenai Group invested 200 billion yuan and raised tens of billions of dollars. Fifteen kilometers wide and fifty kilometers long from north to south, this area is divided into nine levels of windbreak belts, and afforestation has begun.The Xiliang government invested [-] billion yuan to build a two-kilometer-wide green belt around the Xiliang new district and the old district.Inside the Xiliang New District, there are mostly landscape trees. In addition to the buildings and roads, patches of green have begun to appear.Xiliang has set off a forestation craze, and all government agencies and units are actively participating.Voluntary tree planting has become a topic of conversation after dinner.Li Linwan, executive vice mayor, held a rural work conference to put rural agricultural plans into practice, vigorously develop basic agricultural hydropower construction, encourage animal husbandry, develop aquaculture, and plant medicinal materials.Backed by huge funds, batch after batch of experts and college graduates have entered Xiliang.

In the Xiliang Industrial Zone, since the Spring Festival, [-] large and medium-sized enterprises have moved in in just two months.Wan Heming, the son-in-law of the former Secretary Gao of Xiliang City, is the head of the development zone and has become a hot figure.Secretary Gao, who was transferred from a distance, was happy but also a little worried. He called Lin Tao to congratulate Xiliang on its prosperity. He was filled with emotion for a while, and finally told Lin Tao to watch Dian Wan He Ming, young and ambitious, never make mistakes, and let Lin Tao be stricter. .Lin Tao smiled and agreed. During this period, he received Mayor Xu and his party from the Provincial Political Consultative Conference. Mayor Xu was transferred to the provincial capital to become the vice chairman of the Political Consultative Conference. He was at ease and offered to help Xiliang. Lin Tao was very grateful, so Mayor Xu Back in Xiliang, Lin Tao accompanied him all the way and received him in person. Old Xu laughed heartily from time to time, quite pleased with himself. In front of these veteran cadres, Lin Tao talked about Uncle Xu one by one, which made the old man very happy.These old men had a great time in Xiliang, so when they returned to the provincial capital, positive public opinion was formed. These old cadres have a lot of energy, and their disciples have to sell face.Some remarks that were not conducive to Xiliang were boycotted.

The rapid development of Xiliang has not only attracted the attention of countless people, but also aroused the envy of many people. They say that grapes are sour because they can’t eat grapes. Bubble economy and so on.

Cui Zhiming, secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, has given instructions on freedom of speech. In fact, this is his indulgence. He wants to use public opinion to stigmatize Lin Tao, and then wants to send people to pick peaches. Started, the State Council is studying the matter of upgrading Xiliang to a sub-provincial city, Cui Zhiming has been invited to participate in the discussion, Xiliang and four surrounding prefecture-level cities will be merged into a super prefecture-level city centered on Xiliang.

Lin Tao is a person with clear hands and eyes. Whenever there is a move from above, Lin Tao will get the news. Mr. Jin told Lin Tao to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, work hard in a down-to-earth manner, and organize everything freely.
