Chapter 40 Chapter Forty

At this time, Shang Hao had fallen asleep.Wu Jie took Shang Hao from Chen Zhongyang's hand and put him on the bed in the small room, then she came over and said to Wu Mingxiong and Chen Zhongyang: "Keep your voice down, don't wake Shang Hao up." It's still loud.Wu Mingxiong spread out a blueprint, pointed and said: "Old Chen, my idea is this. The city is only responsible for the overall planning of the new West Lake and the cleaning of the lake bed. All the scenic spots will be tendered to the subordinates. Whoever invests will benefit." , who owns the income of the attractions. For example, the ten thousand people swimming pool here, can there be no money to make? Another example, can there be no money to build a children’s playground here? Build an aquarium on the artificial island, I think, There will be many people coming to see it!" Chen Zhongyang suggested: "In my opinion, not only can we invite bids for our municipal units, but the scope can also be expanded, and we can also invite bids for provincial and ministry-affiliated enterprises and units! Both the land and the air force can invite bids, as long as they are willing to invest, we will let them go." Wu Mingxiong said: "Yes, let them make money, come up with a few policies and measures to ensure that they make money, and their money will become our money The people in Pingchuan have many good places to rest and play, and our new West Lake has grown from scratch and is becoming more and more perfect..." The more we talked, the more we talked, and it was already past twelve o'clock at night when Chen Zhongyang left Wu's house .When Wu Mingxiong and Wu Jie sent Chen Zhongyang downstairs again, Chen Zhongyang shouted: "Okay, Secretary Wu, I fell for your tricks again, and my granddaughter still didn't pick her up!" Wu Mingxiong didn't make a sound.

It was Wu Jie who spoke: "Uncle Chen, I think, forget about you and my father! You are all important people, which one is the material to take care of the children? There is no end to talk about work, I am afraid that Xiao Shang will be trafficked You didn’t even know you kidnapped and resold it three times.” Chen Zhongyang smiled ashamedly, pointed at Wu Jie's forehead and said, "This girl, she's acting like a good girl when she gets the advantage." But Wu Mingxiong said to his daughter with a sullen face: "You are talking nonsense. Who were you kidnapped and sold when you were young? Huh? I think you are attacking and framing our family's main leadership comrades." Wu Jie said bluntly: "That's because of my mother. My mother has already said that I really count on you as the main leader comrade. I'm afraid my brother and sister and I are not as good as orphans." With a helpless look, he spread his hands and said to Chen Zhongyang: "Old Chen, it seems that we are not qualified Laozi." A month later, the East Ring Road and the South Ring Road also started construction one after another. 48 road construction teams from eight counties and cities in the Pingchuan area and five districts in the city worked from winter to summer to put together the subgrade of the 60-kilometer-long and 60-meter-wide Ring Road. Out.The cement pavement work on the 26-kilometer section of the Northwest Ring Road has been completed, and it is in the final stage of installing traffic signs, isolation piles and street lights.Nine large-scale parallel traffic roundabouts were built one step ahead, and nine giant sculptures representing Pingchuan's history and reality on the roundabouts have begun to appear.The special funds from the Provincial Communications Department and the loan from the Provincial Construction Bank were in place in a relatively timely manner, and the donations from the citizens of Pingchuan exceeded the expected amount. The completion of the entire ring road project within this year has generally secured financial resources.

At the beginning of July, under the chairmanship of Wu Mingxiong, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, the adjusted standing committee of the Municipal Party Committee held a special meeting on urban construction work.At the meeting, all members of the Standing Committee unanimously passed the resolution of "make persistent efforts, increase efforts, focus on the three strategic projects of water, road and electricity, and accelerate the pace of infrastructure construction in Pingchuan City" after heated discussions.The resolution clearly stated that the Pingchuan Power Plant, which has been approved by the state for project approval, will be launched within the year with 1 billion self-raised funds, and the reconstruction of the original roads in the inner city and the development of the new West Lake will start immediately.The second and third phases of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project will be combined into one, and will be fully completed this winter and next spring; the ring road project is a popular project and image project, and it also involves traffic diversion for inner city road reconstruction and the development and construction of the new West Lake. The completion date must be advanced , "October" must cut the ribbon and open to traffic across the board.On the afternoon of the day when the Municipal Committee’s Standing Committee ended, Mayor Shu Huaru presided over the mayor’s office meeting in the first conference room of the municipal government, and conveyed the resolutions of the Municipal Committee’s Standing Committee to the deputy mayors in charge and nine municipal government secretary-generals. Spirit, arranged the work one by one, and also focused on the construction period of the Ring Road.

Deputy Mayor Yan Changqi, who is the actual commander in chief of the ring road project, immediately felt the pressure, and could not help sweating on his bald forehead.Yan Changqi wanted to interrupt Shu Huaru several times, talk about difficulties, and raise conditions, but considering the impact, she finally didn't dare, and put on a relaxed look, drinking tea and smoking, and taking notes. However, as soon as the mayor's office meeting was over, Yan Changqi couldn't wait to drag Shu Huaru back, and said to Shu Huaru with a long face: "Mayor Shu, let's make it clear that the commander-in-chief of the Huancheng Road Construction Headquarters is You, I, Lao Yan, work for you, so you have to pity me anyway. Don’t think about it, the original planned construction period of such a high-standard road is one year, which is already dark enough, and even experts from the Provincial Transportation Bureau Said, this level is rare in the history of highway construction in our province. This will be brought forward to the "11th", you don't want me to live as an on-site commander, do you?"

While sorting out the documents and materials on the conference table, Shu Huaru said with a smile: "No matter how hard life is, we have to live every day. How can we live? Mayor Yan mobilizes everyone to find a way. I pity you, but Secretary Wu will not Have pity on me. Besides, I’ve calculated that the construction will be completed on the 11th, so it’s a little tighter, but I’m still sure, don’t pretend to be in front of me, I go to the construction site every day, you can’t fool me.” Yan Changqi said anxiously: "You mayor only look at the surface. Do you know? Even if the pavement project can be completed by then, there are still many supporting projects. Sculptures, green belts, lights on the whole line, trees on both sides of the road, do you want to do it well?" Huh? We can’t let such a good road be open to traffic, can we?”

Shu Huaru said: "Of course we need to complete all the supporting projects. When did I, the mayor, say that we can open to traffic without supporting facilities? Don't you want to take advantage of me? We are building roads, not airports. The runway, even the runway, must be equipped with night lights." Only then did Yan Changqi say: "Mayor Shu, how about this? I will strive for the completion of the '11th' and try my best to fight for it, but don't announce it to the public, so as not to be passive in the future and lose face to the municipal party committee and you, the commander-in-chief."

Shu Huaru said seriously: "Oh, it's broken, you said this too late, my brother. During our meeting, Secretary Wu had already said this on behalf of the municipal party committee. If you want to know what Secretary Wu said, You can watch the Pingchuan news at night. If you have any ideas, you can talk to Secretary Wu directly." Yan Changqi was startled for a moment, then turned and left. But Shu Huaru joked behind Yan Changqi's back: "Hey, Mayor Yan, don't rush to leave, we can exchange ideas slowly and see if it is possible for Secretary Wu to take back his televised speech?"

Yan Changqi turned her head and smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "You and Secretary Wu have already driven me to Liangshan, me, what am I talking about!" Back at the construction headquarters of Huancheng Road, Yan Changqi held a project dispatching meeting for the whole line overnight, summoning all the leaders in charge of urban construction in eight counties, cities and five districts of the city to the headquarters and said: "The construction period has to be advanced again, Huancheng Road" The ribbon-cutting and opening to traffic on November 1 is a matter that has been decided by the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Mayor’s Office, and there is no room for discussion. I, Yan Changqi, never bargain with the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government. Once Mayor Shu announced the decision of the Municipal Party Committee, I said nothing Said, just made a statement, on behalf of the comrades to guarantee on the spot, not only the opening to traffic on the "11th", but also the high quality of the roads must be guaranteed!"

There was a whisper of discussion in the venue. Yan Changqi pretended to be relaxed with a smile: "The construction period is tight, but I think it can be completed with hard work. I don't bargain with the municipal party committee and the municipal government, and I hope you don't bargain with me. Let's talk about the ugly things first. This is a project scheduling meeting, not a negotiation in Chongqing. Comrades who want to negotiate in Chongqing, please leave.” Xiang Benyi, the mayor of Zhonglou District, sat on a chair near the door, and asked with a confused look: "That means, if you have any difficulties, you won't be allowed to report them? Isn't that right, Deputy Mayor Yan?" Look, it was my old opponent who was talking, and he smiled even brighter: "District Chief Xiang, why is it you again? We are old buddies. I know, you will never negotiate with me in Chongqing, right? Of course you can report your difficulties, and the headquarters must grasp the situation. However, after reporting, you still have to overcome the difficulties and do it. There is a very good line in the movie: 'There are no difficulties, what do you Communists do.'”

Xiang Benyi rolled his eyes and said, "Mayor Yan, I remember the movie said 'There is no difficulty, what do you want us communists to do.' It's 'us', not 'you'." Yan Changqi seemed very serious: "I am not a member of the Communist Party of China, so naturally I dare not call myself 'we', especially in front of you to the district chief, lest you call me bragging again. You told the district chief, I This person has a limited level of bragging, and if he blows it, he will blow it up." The participants who knew the phrase "bragging" all laughed.

Before Yan Changqi became the deputy mayor, she worked as the deputy head of Pailou District for a year and a half, in charge of culture, education and health.At that time, Xiang Benyi was also in charge of culture, education and health in the Bell Tower District.Once, the city launched a patriotic sanitation campaign, and a district-based competition was held to eradicate rats. After working formalistically for a while, it was said that they were all done.The city held a meeting to sum up the experience, and introduced the experience to Benyi, the representative of Zhonglou District. He talked eloquently, talked about the importance of the leaders, mobilized from top to bottom, and worked together.That's all, Xiang Benyi was so dizzy, and finally announced solemnly, "According to the latest scientific investigation in our district, there are no more than ten rats that slipped through the net." Yan Changqi then spoke on behalf of Pailou District, Learning to blow to Benyi's tone even more shamelessly, reported 18 measures and 16 experiences, and publicly announced, "Due to the effective measures, so far, none of the rats in our area have slipped through the net and all have been wiped out." The audience was in an uproar, and someone asked Yan Changqi, "What if we find a mouse in your archway area?" Yan Changqi immediately said, "Please send it to the Bell Tower District, and let the district chief verify his integrity and punish him severely according to the law. It's one of the ten mice that slipped through the net to District Chief." Only then did everyone hear that Yan Changqi was sarcastically bragging to Benyi. Afterwards, Yan Changqi and Xiang Benyi competed with each other at work, and even joked half-truly when they met.Later, Yan Changqi became the deputy mayor as a non-Party person, and Xiang Benyi also raised the position of district chief from the deputy district chief.Although they were all mentioned, the speed and location of the mentions were different. Xiang Benyi complained, saying that it is better to be a member of the Kuomintang than to be a member of the Communist Party.After hearing this, Wu Mingxiong severely criticized him. He didn't dare to speak nonsense anymore, but he was still dissatisfied with Yan Changqi in his heart, and would always give Yan Changqi some problems when he was busy. Today's dispatch meeting really made Xiang Benyi angry. Yan Changqi set the tone as soon as he opened his mouth, without any tone of discussion. As a non-Party person, this is a bit too arrogant.When Xiang Benyi and Yan Changqi were arguing, he wanted to say, Yan Changqi wants to flatter the secretary and the mayor, but you can't do it like this!He doesn't care about the life or death of his brothers.But did not dare to say.It's not because he's afraid of Yan Changqi, but because of Wu Mingxiong. Wu Mingxiong told Xiang Benyi very seriously that the deputy mayor is the deputy mayor, and there is no distinction between inside and outside the party. Even if Yan Changqi's instructions are wrong, you have to implement them first, because he is your superior to Xiang Benyi. Represents the municipal government. Now, the on-site commander who represents the city government is arranging the work in a high-spirited manner again, no matter what, he says "no discussion" one by one, forcing the leaders of the counties and cities to bite the bullet one by one and go back to find their own way. Do everything possible to overcome difficulties and guarantee the construction period. In the end, the leaders who received the task had almost left, and when only Xiang Benyi was left in the meeting room, Yan Changqi asked, "District Chief Xiang, what are you talking about?" Xiang Benyi lowered his eyelids and said, "What else can I say? You Deputy Mayor Yan said, no discussion, no negotiation, I just listen to it." Xiang Benyi clearly emphasized the word "Deputy" of Deputy Mayor Yan. Yan Changqi smiled and said: "Very good, very good. If you have made progress towards the district chief and obeyed the leadership, you should be praised. How about this, your Zhonglou District is a large district, and the quality of several construction teams is also good. Moreover, there is no share in the total. How many kilometers of road, under the premise of ensuring the quality, there is nothing to say about the construction period two months in advance. As for me, I will not give specific instructions. You just hurry up. The problem now is that the engineering team in the suburbs is not good enough. Legs, what does the engineering team from the Shengli Coal Mine look like? Count on them, and there will be mistakes. So, after thinking about it, I thought of you, an old man, and asked you to send some machinery and manpower from the Bell Tower District to help Give them a hand." Xiang Benyi was so angry that he almost jumped up, and said, "Deputy Mayor Yan, you, what are you talking about? I have not finished half of the three-kilometer road, and I have many difficulties, so I haven't asked you yet. You have your eye on me again! Deputy Mayor Yan, are you a bureaucrat? Or are you trying to trick me?" Yan Changqi smiled and said, "District Chief Xiang, look at you. Just after I praised you, you became proud and disobedient to the leadership. Aren't you only three kilometers away? The suburb is five kilometers away?" Xiang Benyi was even more annoyed: "What section of road am I, and what section of road are they? My three kilometers are at the foot of Longfeng Mountain. They are all bulging rocks. For every meter of progress, hundreds of cubic stones will be blasted out. The task of descending the slope is so heavy. At the last meeting, it was said that a flood control ditch with a displacement of 40,000 cubic meters should be built beside the road, and my project volume has increased again. I was just about to tell you, just like this , I can't guarantee that I won't lose face to you, Deputy Mayor Yan." Yan Changqi sullenly said, "Why, District Chief, you want to bargain with the headquarters again, don't you? Let me make it clear to your brother that you not only have to complete your own three kilometers two months ahead of schedule, but you also have to pay within ten days. I took out a mechanical operation team and went to the road section of the Shengli Coal Mine." Xiang Benyi was furious: "You, Deputy Mayor Yan, are trying to trick me." Yan Changqi smiled slightly, waved his hands almost kindly and said, "Okay, okay, I won't quarrel with you. If you insist on saying that I cheated on you, it will be considered that I cheated on you." Then, the long face suddenly pulled, "Director Xiang, don't I thought that I, Yan Changqi, was a member of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee, so I couldn’t dismiss you as a Communist cadre, and you didn’t have to obey my leadership. Let me tell you clearly now: I can seriously recommend that the CCP The Pingchuan Municipal Party Committee will dismiss you!" After all, Yan Changqi picked up the phone and went to the municipal party committee office, asking the secretary of the municipal party committee to find Wu Mingxiong. While waiting for the phone call, Yan Changqi said to Xiang Benyi again: "I never engage in conspiracy, only conspiracy." Xiang Benyi panicked now, and hurriedly said: "Mayor Yan, Mayor Yan, who are we with whom? We have been old for many years, so it's really worth falling out over such a trivial matter? Wouldn't that be a big joke, wouldn't it? Mayor Yan?" Yan Changqi corrected, "It's Deputy Mayor Yan." Xiang Benyi still called "Mayor Yan" affectionately: "Mayor Yan, forget it, forget it, it's all my fault, whatever you say we do. I know the Kuomintang is powerful." Yan Changqi put down the phone and asked Benyi, "Are you obeying the mayor's leadership again?" Say to Benyi: "Obey, obey." Yan Changqi sighed: "I said today that there will be no negotiations in Chongqing, but for you, an old man, let's make an exception and conduct a negotiation! You will not be allowed to ask the district chief for support in the suburbs. But, yourselves It is necessary to handle the matter well. Yesterday I went to your construction site to have a look, and the slope is a big problem. I suggest that you immediately organize a professional team to conduct parallel firing. Otherwise, it will be difficult to meet the technical requirements of the project.”
