Chapter 25 Chapter Twenty-Five

In early autumn, at around ten o’clock in the morning on this day, General Manager Tang, Deputy General Manager Han Xueren of the Project Manager Department of Shuimiao Oil Pipeline Project, and some leaders, accompanied the leadership of the group company to inspect the pipeline and condolences to the front-line construction personnel. Xiao Mingchuan was urgently summoned to report to the guest house of the Hongshang County Party Committee.Among the leaders of these group companies, the leader is Lu Desen, the deputy general manager who will step down at the end of the year. Among the first-level bureau leaders are the director of the Domestic Engineering Bureau, the director of the Materials and Equipment Bureau, the director of the Market Development Department, the director of the Planning Department, Deputy Director of the Audit Bureau, Deputy Director of the General Office, Deputy Director of the Information Center, etc.

Xiao Mingchuan rushed back from the Laogu River crossing the construction site, and the yellow mud on the banks of the Laogu River was still stained under his feet.Unprepared, Xiao Mingchuan met Han Xueren and asked him what to report?Han Xueren was quite embarrassed, but his face did not show any flaws. He said that this report was mainly about the construction unit. Our project department depends on the situation, so we can talk about it or not.It is said that Xiao Mingchuan was not included in the summoning list at first, but he was later included in the summoning list. This is all related to Guo Ziqin and Han Xueren.At that time, Guo Ziqin happened to be in the west of the car, and ran into the leader of the group company.Guo Ziqin had a good relationship with the director of the Materials and Equipment Bureau. When the director of the Materials and Equipment Bureau introduced him to Lu Desen to deepen his impression, Han Xueren who was on the side interjected, saying that there were two reserve bureaus sent by the group company on the Shuimiao Line A senior cadre, Lu Desen asked who the other one was, did he come today?Han Xueren said that the other one was Xiao Mingchuan, who went to the construction site today and didn’t come, so Lu Desen became interested for some reason, and asked Han Xueren, is Xiao Mingchuan the same Xiao Mingchuan who knows table tennis referees?Han Xueren nodded again and again, saying that it was right, that he had a referee qualification certificate issued by the state, so Lu Desen asked Han Xueren to call Xiao Mingchuan to meet him.Han Xueren was a little embarrassed, he thought that Lu Desen would just grind his teeth against Xiao Mingchuan and let it go, but he didn't expect that Lu Desen really wanted to see Xiao Mingchuan, so he blamed himself for his meddlesome mouth.There was no other way, Han Xueren had no choice but to bite the bullet and contact Xiao Mingchuan.Of course, Han Xueren can’t tell Xiao Mingchuan that Deputy General Manager Lu is going to summon you. That’s not appropriate. Reported by.

Although Lu Desen is the leader of a state-owned enterprise, his status as a deputy minister is there. The county party secretary Ren Guotian naturally did not dare to neglect, and deployed police forces to guard around the county party guest house. He himself participated in the report as a partner of the Shuimiao oil pipeline project. meeting.The people who were going to report to the leaders of the group company, as Han Xueren told Xiao Mingchuan at that time, mostly came from the construction units of Party B, maybe six or seven.After the report meeting started, General Manager Tang, who presided over the report meeting, repeatedly reminded the Party B unit who will report below that the speech must be concise, save time, and avoid lying and boasting.However, several reporters from Party B swung their mouths open and continued to open their mouths. Before they could make their debut on stage, the allotted reporting time was used up, and Han Xueren, who was preparing for the finale, was silent.However, Han Xueren was quite satisfied with the ending, it was easy, but there was still a bit of one-time disappointment on his face that was admirable.After the meeting, Lao Zhou and Xiao Meng took a group photo with leaders and comrades in front of the flower bed outside. Lao Zhou used a digital camera, and Xiao Meng held a Nikon camera in his hand. Both of them broke out in a hot sweat. .

During the luncheon, neither Xiao Mingchuan nor Guo Ziqin could sit at Lu Desen's table of honor.In the middle of the banquet, Xiao Mingchuan seized an opportunity, rushed in front of Guo Ziqin to toast the leaders of the group company, and Lu Desen, who was busy talking to others, didn't seem to look him in the eye, and there was no such thing as calling him Come and meet the interest.Of course, Xiao Mingchuan didn't know how he got here, so he didn't have any bad views on Deputy General Manager Lu. He is a deputy ministerial leader, so if he can raise a glass with himself, it's enough to let go of his airs. up.Later, when Guo Ziqin went to toast Deputy General Manager Lu, Xiao Mingchuan noticed it. Drinking your own toast is a bit lively.As for this, Xiao Mingchuan didn't complain. Although he and those bureau chiefs and deputy bureau chiefs didn't meet face to face, their friendship was limited.

In the afternoon, the leaders of the group company were going to visit the construction site. Han Xueren chose Shiyapan Village in the area under Xiao Mingchuan's jurisdiction, and Chawan Village in the area under Guo Ziqin's responsibility. These two villages are adjacent.In Hongshang County, the landforms are changeable. In the area of ​​Shiyapan Village and Chawan Village, the characteristics of the loess plateau have faded, and the towering beams and hills are no longer towering, but green and thin lime mountains. Notoriously poor.After setting off, the mighty convoy, like a dancing iron dragon, twisted and came to Chawan Village.The construction team here is catching up with the progress of the project.The pipes that were brought in a few days ago had problems with the anti-corrosion quality, and they were blocked by the station supervisor, so the construction schedule was delayed.The scene was lively enough. After the leaders of the construction unit introduced the project progress and other conditions, they shook hands with the front-line workers separately. Lu Desen shouted loudly and distributed the condolences brought to the workers.Lao Zhou and Xiao Meng squeezed back and forth in the crowd, their faces dripping with sweat.Someone led Ludson to meet the welder next to the trench.Lu Desen squatted down, and just about to stretch his hand into the pipe ditch, he laughed, because the pipe ditch was very deep, even if he borrowed an arm, he couldn't hold the hand of the female welder at the bottom of the ditch, so the handshake was omitted for condolences.The female welder was wearing overalls, a protective shield on her head, and a welding torch in her hand. The darkness of the ditch wall covered her face, and her face was turned upwards, so that her facial features looked extremely crowded.Ludsen grabbed a handful of loess, squeezed it, and began to ask the female welder's name, age and marital status, and then asked if she wanted to go home?Can the body handle it?What figures are income linked to?The female welder answered one by one, smiling all the time on her deformed facial features.Lu Desen put the loose loess ball on the ground, clapped his hands, stood up and said, thank you for your hard work. Whether the water temple pipeline can be completed on schedule depends entirely on you. On behalf of the leaders of the group company, I thank you again for your hard work. !The people around Ludsen clapped their hands like shouting slogans, while the female welder in the pipe ditch seemed to be frightened by the applause, and kept shrinking her neck.Lu Desen waved his hand and said, goodbye, Xiao Tong, is it called Xiao Tong?Thank you, Chief, I am Xiao Tong!The female welder in the ditch waved the welding torch and said, then I will work for the chief, and I will save a weld and earn a lot of money.Someone laughed, like one of the directors.Halfway through the condolences, an unexpected scene appeared. A mass of black heads rolled from the village. There could be hundreds of people, and the leaders who came to condolence were stunned.Xiao Mingchuan smelled the dust and wondered if this group of villagers came to block the construction, right?If that's the case, it's time to suffer from the sidelines. When is this? Once such an eyedrop is given to the fellow villagers, he will be able to sideline the ball again... hit the right way!Xiao Mingchuan thought, he saw an unexpected joke by accident.In a blink of an eye, hundreds of villagers poured into the construction site, chaotically as if they were watching a big show, and Xiao Mingchuan couldn't have enough eyesight.When the scene became chaotic again, and the atmosphere of a farmer's market returned to the construction site, Xiao Mingchuan saw a group of strong men holding watermelons and melons, yelling at the leaders to eat; Beside the ditch, a row of large porcelain bowls was opened, and then someone poured mung bean soup from the thermos. The scene was no less than that when the villagers visited the Eighth Route Army.Xiao Mingchuan was dumbfounded!Ren Guotian and Guo Ziqin, calm and composed at this time, met with the village cadres, said a few words, and led a few village cadres to meet the leaders of the group company like middlemen.Xiao Mingchuan saw Lu Desen shaking hands with the village cadres one by one in a friendly manner, talking non-stop, and Lao Zhou and Xiao Meng were busy left and right, which seemed to have grabbed the fish and water camera.A thin village girl brought a bowl of mung bean soup in front of Xiao Mingchuan, and said with a grin, this leader has worked hard, drinking a bowl of mung bean soup will quench his thirst.Xiao Mingchuan subconsciously took a half step back, as if he had forgotten that he still had hands on his body, and stared blankly at the big porcelain bowl in front of him.Seeing Xiao Mingchuan's strangeness, the village girl instinctively retracted her shoulders, and as a result, the mung bean soup shook out of the large porcelain bowl.Xiao Mingchuan's eyes trembled, and then he took the bowl.On the left side of Xiao Mingchuan, two young workers from the construction team were eating melons and talking, hey, the sun didn’t come out from the west today, did it?Pig you?Don't even look, who came to the construction site today?Eat, it's rare for leaders to come in groups, don't eat more, I'm sorry for the hard work of the leaders.On the entire construction site, there is a friendly scene of a family of workers and peasants.At this time, Xiao Mingchuan, Monk Zhanger had been puzzled for a long time, so he didn't have the mind to drink the mung bean soup in his hand, so he put the big porcelain bowl on the ground.The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became. The harmonious and lively scene in front of him did not seem to be spontaneously formed by the villagers, but it was obviously a well-planned reverse condolence.Thinking of this, Xiao Mingchuan turned his eyes to look for Guo Ziqin, and it happened that Guo Ziqin was also looking at him at this time.Guo Ziqin came over with a large piece of watermelon in his hands, broke off a corner and handed it to Xiao Mingchuan.

Your three-acre land is lively enough, Guo Chu.Xiao Mingchuan laughed dryly.Guo Ziqin gnawed at the watermelon and said with emotion, the people in the old districts are real.Xiao Mingchuan was still laughing dryly.At this time, General Manager Tang greeted Guo Ziqin over there, and Guo Ziqin left in response.Two boys playing, used Xiao Mingchuan as an obstacle, one to hide and the other to catch, and Xiao Mingchuan was staggered a few times. Xiao Chu——Liu Haitao's panicked cry came.Xiao Mingchuan followed the prestige, and saw Liu Haitao covering his right ear with his right hand, and his left hand in front of his chin.Liu Haitao often does this body language with Xiao Mingchuan, meaning to ask him to answer the walkie-talkie.Xiao Mingchuan's heart tightened suddenly, and he trotted over.On the left and right of Desert King, there were several people from the project management department standing, and they all looked at Xiao Mingchuan with strange eyes.Liu Haitao was ashamed, avoiding Xiao Mingchuan's gaze.Xiao Mingchuan's heart was suspended, he grabbed the walkie-talkie and said, I am 07, please speak.The other party said, I am Captain Lin of Shiyapan. A dozen or so disabled people came to the village just now.Xiao Mingchuan's face turned pale in a flash, and he thought he was pushing me into the fire pit, why did something go wrong at this time?He held the car door and asked, why?Captain Lin said that those people said that the place where the pipeline passes now is the limestone mining area in Murakami, and they want additional compensation.Xiao Mingchuan said, well, I am now in Chawan Village, and I will go there right away.Xiao Mingchuan knew that the limestone mining area had been abandoned for many years as early as when the pipeline was reconnaissance. He had heard from Han Xueren that when the land was expropriated, the village did not have any detours around the abandoned limestone mining area. , it was levied at the price of ordinary wasteland.Now a group of disabled people turn around and talk about this abandoned mine. It seems that the problem here is complicated, and it may not be just about money.Xiao Mingchuan stabilized his soul, walked over and called Han Xueren aside, and quietly reported what happened in Shiyapan Village.Han Xueren's face tensed immediately, and he thought for a long time before he said, wait for me here first, Director Xiao.Xiao Mingchuan said, yes.Han Xueren walked a few steps and whispered to General Manager Tang when he got there.

General manager Tang said with a sullen face, what happened, can Minister Lu go there?Han Xueren said, then don't go around, cancel the condolences from Shiyapan Village, and ask Xiao Xiao to deal with it first.General Manager Tang waved his hand irritably, looked at the sky and said, come down and ask him to report in detail.Han Xueren nodded and said, okay.Then he turned around and walked towards Xiao Mingchuan.In the conversation between General Manager Tang and Han Xueren just now, although Xiao Mingchuan didn't hear anything, he guessed that General Manager Tang must have a lot of grievances at this time through General Manager Tang's hand-waving gesture, and he couldn't help jumping wildly.The fellow villagers who are going to the market are still performing their roles to their heart's content at this time.Han Xueren pulled Xiao Mingchuan aside and spoke in a low voice.Han Xueren didn't put too much pressure on Xiao Mingchuan, and emphasized that he should calm down when he got there, keep the situation under control, and there must be no conflict between the construction team and the villagers.Xiao Mingchuan nodded frequently, and at the same time instinctively realized that Guo Ziqin, who was standing not far away, was watching his every move, so he cursed hard in his heart--a dog's edge!
