It was already after eight o'clock in the evening when we returned to Cangyang after dinner. Li Yixiang lived in the government compound. There was an accommodation area behind the canteen of the government compound. There were two rows in front and back, with four households in each row. They were all small two-story buildings. Yard with small courtyard housing.
Li Yixiang lives there, as does the county party secretary Wang Aiguo.
Chen Shaoping and Zhou Guangming sent Li Yixiang to the door. After watching Li Yixiang enter, they turned around and left.
"Remember, working hours are at nine o'clock. You must arrive before eight o'clock. You will come directly here to pick up the county magistrate on the first day. Whether you want to pick him up here again later depends on the county magistrate's personal preference!"
At the gate of the government, Zhou Guangming said seriously to Chen Shaoping, "Even if you were drunk the day before, as long as it is working time, you must arrive at the county government accommodation area before eight o'clock!"
"Director, I remember it firmly!" Chen Shaoping replied seriously.
Zhou Guangming nodded and said to Chen Shaoping seriously: "Shaoping, your main responsibility is to serve the leader, and you must satisfy the leader! We are good friends and brothers in private, but if you dissatisfy the leader, or work problems Mistake, as the director of the government office, I will not and cannot give you any face... I will inform you of this in advance, and I hope you can understand..."
"Director, I must strictly demand myself!" Chen Shaoping also replied seriously.
After returning home, Chen Shaoping received a call from Zhang Sanchuan.
"Shaoping, Sister Shanmei just talked to me. She said that she fully agreed to your original proposal. Let me ask you, when will you start signing the contract and start applying for the company?"
Zhang Sanchuan asked on the phone.
"Of course, the sooner the better, but I may be a little busy during this period, and I can't do many things myself. You and Zhong Shanmei have finalized a draft of the contract. You can bring it to me when the time comes. As for applying for a company, I have an acquaintance in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. , just say hello then!"
"Okay!" Zhang Sanchuan asked with a smile on the phone, "Shaoping, I heard that you are now the secretary of the county magistrate? Congratulations!"
"I'm just lucky, but I don't know how long I can keep this job!" Chen Shaoping said, lighting a cigarette.
"Shaoping, you are capable. I believe you will be able to do the job. Come on!" Zhang Sanchuan encouraged Chen Shaoping.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Shaoping silently smoked a cigarette, washed briefly, and then lay on the bed.
As Qiu Shuqin said, this job is both an opportunity and a challenge. If you do it well, you may rise to the top, but if you don't do it well, you will completely ruin your political life and become a marginalized person forever...
The next morning, Chen Shaoping got up at seven o'clock and arrived at the county government office just after 7:30. It was still very early before work. Breakfast was already available in the cafeteria. He went there first and ate a large bowl of rice noodles, and then waited on time around eight o'clock. In the yard where Li Yixiang is.
At 8:10, Li Yixiang opened the door and came out. Chen Shaoping quickly greeted: "County Magistrate, good morning!"
Li Yixiang nodded and said: "Shaoping, you don't have to come here to pick me up anymore. You can just wait in the cafeteria. Unless there are special circumstances, even around 8:30, you don't have to come so early!"
"Okay, County Magistrate!" Chen Shaoping replied and followed Li Yixiang to the canteen. Li Yixiang went to the small canteen on the second floor to have breakfast. Chen Shaoping was not planning to follow him, but Li Yixiang replied: "Shaoping, come up and have breakfast with me!"
Although Chen Shaoping had already eaten breakfast, when he heard what Li Yixiang said, he still followed Li Yixiang to the second floor.
When he arrived on the second floor, Chen Shaoping discovered that there was a different scene above. It was bright and bright, with a red carpet on the floor. The staff in the kitchen were all wearing white chef uniforms and masks.
There are so many varieties of breakfast, including almost all the breakfasts that can be seen in Cangyang County.
Xiaolongbao, fried buns, fried dumplings, grilled bait cubes, steamed bait shreds, flower rolls, steamed buns... steamed sweet potatoes, eggs, soy milk, porridge, freshly boiled milk... everything is available.
Li Yixiang took a basket of steamed buns and made a bowl of porridge. Chen Shaoping ordered some fried dumplings and fried buns, and drank a glass of fresh milk.
"Shaoping, where is your family from?" Li Yixiang asked while eating porridge.
"Songguan Town Siwei Village!" Chen Shaoping replied.
"How far is it from the county seat?" Li Yixiang continued.
"Forty minutes!" Chen Shaoping replied.
"What's the geographical environment like?" Li Yixiang asked.
"More mountains and less fields!" Chen Shaoping answered truthfully.
"Okay!" Li Yixiang took a sip of porridge, and then said: "Today I will go to your Songguan Town for inspection. You notify Director Qiu of the Agriculture Bureau to bring people to participate, and notify the Songguan Town Government!"
Chen Shaoping immediately walked aside and called Qiu Shuqin and Songguan Town Party Committee Secretary Zhang Junming.
At around nine o'clock, Sun Xiaojun drove over on time and picked up Chen Shaoping and Li Yixiang. Two buses from the Agriculture Bureau were already waiting at the gate of the county government. At the same time, He Yanlai and Liu Ziqiong, deputy directors of the Government Office, also set off with them.
At about 9:40, on the provincial road at the junction of Mengchuan Town and Songguan Town, the town committee secretary Zhang Junming and the mayor Li Guodong were waiting here with seven or eight people.
Sun Xiaojun stopped the car, but Chen Shaoping did not get out of the car. He directly put down the glass and said to Zhang Junming and Li Guodong: "Secretary Zhang, Mayor Li, let's go to the town government first!"
"Okay, let's lead the way!"
Zhang Junming and Li Guodong jumped into their cars respectively, got off the provincial road, and went straight to the Songguan Town Government.
On the streets of Songguan Town, the town government said the roads were narrow and crowded, and road occupation was serious. Zhang Junming had arranged for people to clear the traffic early in the morning, but it was still blocked for more than 20 minutes.
It was almost eleven o'clock when we arrived at the town hall. When Li Yixiang got out of the car, Zhang Junming and Li Guodong slowly greeted him and shook hands with Li Yixiang.
Qiu Shuqin followed with Lao Sun and four colleagues from the Agricultural Bureau. At this time, Lao Sun had become the deputy director of the Agricultural Bureau.
Qiu Shuqin wore dark women's casual clothes, a white low-cut top underneath, and a silver-white brooch on her chest to ensure that she would not be exposed.
Even so, most of the pair of big steamed buns as white as snowflakes still leaked out, making people's blood surge.
"Songguan Town is the first place I want to inspect when I come to Cangyang. You have to tell me about the geographical environment and location advantages here!" Li Yixiang said to Zhang Junming and Li Guodong.
The two men received a call from Chen Shaoping an hour ago. They knew that the county magistrate was coming and were already prepared.
When Li Yixiang asked at this moment, the two of them didn't feel anxious.
At the town meeting, the two unfolded the map of Songguan Town and introduced it in detail.
Lunch was arranged at a farmhouse not far from the town government.
