The red-faced man said unconvinced: "Am I breaking the law? You blew up all my family's ancestral graves. Did you break the law?"
Zhao Xiangdong saw that he was messing around, but he still said patiently: "Didn't the blasting master just tell you that he can't blow up your ancestral graves?"
The red-faced man frowned and said, "Even if it doesn't blow up, it will still scare my ancestors! You can blow it up, just give me 10,000 yuan!"
Chang Desheng saw his big mouth and said angrily: "Ding Sijie, don't go too far!"
When Zhao Xiangdong saw this, he understood. He pulled the village chief aside and said, "I will first agree to the compensation he asked for. When is the construction team scheduled to blast?"
Chang Desheng said: "It will be ten o'clock tomorrow morning."
Mayor Zhao Xiangdong thought for a moment and said, "Well, okay, I understand. You will wait for my call tomorrow morning."
After the two people discussed it, Zhao Xiangdong turned around and walked up to Ding Sijie and said, "Uncle, the amount you asked for is a bit high. I can't make the decision. I have to report it to my superiors. Can you wait for my call at the village committee tomorrow morning?" ?”
Ding Sijie thought for a moment and asked for half a box of cigarettes from Zhao Xiangdong before agreeing.
It was already evening when we rushed back to Liuhe Town. Guan Jing, director of the Party and Government Office, passed by the door, stopped and said softly: "Mayor Zhao, I was about to call you to inform you. Secretary Qi said that everyone is here today. , go to Xiangmanlou for a dinner party."
Zhao Xiangdong raised his head and glanced at Guan Jing, who was dressed in a fancy dress, and responded: "Okay, okay."
"Mayor Zhao, you have made a great contribution this time, attracting 30 million investment projects to our town. Once the factory is completed and started, it will provide employment for at least 300 people."
Guan Jing walked into the office with her slender waist and chatted with him about home affairs.
"Director Guan, can you drink well?"
Zhao Xiangdong changed the topic, stared at Guan Jing and smiled mischievously.
"Okay? Let's have a competition at the wine table later?"
Guan Jing raised her eyebrows at Zhao Xiangdong, just to tease him.
Zhao Xiangdong would not accept the call, but smiled and walked out.
The atmosphere at the party in the evening was quite harmonious. Except for the new mayor who was a little reserved, everyone else showed their true colors and everyone drank to their heart's content.
"Mayor Zhao, come here, let me toast you a glass of wine. This time Huayang Group came to invest in Anqing County, you are indispensable!"
When the show was about to end, Du Xianming picked up his wine glass and looked at Zhao Xiangdong.
"Mayor Du, please say no. I should respect you..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Xiangdong called. He saw that it was Qin Shixun from the "Huayang" Group and hurriedly answered the call.
Du Xianming, who was holding the wine glass, saw Zhao Xiangdong chatting and laughing on the phone. He didn't care about his feelings. His face suddenly turned dark and he drank the wine in the glass.
After making the call, Zhao Xiangdong hurriedly poured a glass of wine to toast Du Xianming, but he politely refused. At that time, he didn't take it to heart.
At around nine o'clock the next morning, Zhao Xiangdong called the Dawa Village Committee and said: "Village Chief, please inform Ding Sijie to come to the town to negotiate compensation."
Village chief Chang Desheng said: "Okay, Mayor Zhao, I will inform him right away."
About half an hour later, Zhao Xiangdong received a call from Chang Desheng: "Mayor Zhao, Ding Sijie has gone to Liuhe Town."
Zhao Xiangdong immediately gave instructions on the phone and said: "Okay, village chief, you will notify the blasting master now to carry out the blasting. At the same time, the security team will be on guard around the perimeter, and I will lead the police station personnel to the scene immediately."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xiangdong immediately called the Liuhe Town Police Station and rushed to Dawa Village with the police.
When they arrived at Dawa Village, Ding Sijie was leading his relatives to make a fuss at the village committee.
Zhao Xiangdong saw the village chief, and after learning the specific situation, he turned around and shouted sharply: "Come here, take away the troublemaker!"
Finally, through negotiation, the Dawa Village road engineering team finally compensated Ding Sijie 2,000 yuan, and the matter was settled.
The day after the successful blasting, the Municipal Third Construction Construction Team entered Dawa Village with large equipment such as excavators and forklifts to prepare for road construction.
One day later, Zhao Xiangdong came to Qi Feng's office after taking over Sun Changzhen's corruption evidence from Wei Guohua.
"Secretary Qi, this is evidence of Sun Changzhen's corruption when he was responsible for maintaining the classroom. These are the kickbacks Wei Guohua gave me. I recorded each item in detail."
Zhao Xiangdong took out all the collected evidence and put it on his desk.
Qi Feng frowned with a look of astonishment on his face. After looking at the accounts, his face turned gloomy and said, "I understand. If it is true after the investigation, it must be dealt with seriously."
Two days later, Qi Feng called Zhao Xiangdong to the office, handed him a cigarette, and said gently: "Yesterday, I severely criticized Sun Changzhen. He also realized the serious mistakes he made and agreed to hand over all embezzled funds. Come out. Since he recognized his mistake in time and had a good attitude, I think it will be better to handle it internally."
After hearing this, Zhao Xiangdong thought to himself, this is an obvious calf protector! For a construction project worth more than 200,000 yuan, he squandered 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, and then handled it internally, and it was done without any pain or irritation?
Although Zhao Xiangdong had objections to Qi Feng's handling of the matter, he did not want to fight to the end this time. Punishing Sun Changzhen was not his purpose, but using Qi Feng to protect his shortcomings to take advantage of Qi Feng was his real purpose.
Zhao Xiangdong thought for a moment and said, "Okay, listen to the secretary."
That afternoon, Sun Changzhen was dismissed from his position as deputy director of the Education Office, and Jinhua was nominated as deputy director of the Education Office.
A week later, Zhao Xiangdong voluntarily resigned as director of the Education Office and nominated Lin Jing as director. Unexpectedly, Qi Feng readily agreed at the meeting, and even Zheng Liyong was surprised.
One morning, city TV reporter Ye Na came to Liuhe Town, and Guan Jing, director of the Party and Government Office, received her.
"Reporter Ye, welcome, welcome, our Liuhe Town has outstanding people and beautiful scenery..."
Guan Jing was a little excited when she saw the city TV station coming to Liuhe Town for an interview.
"Director Guan, we are here to interview Deputy Mayor Zhao Xiangdong."
When Ye Na saw Guan Jing introducing the local customs and customs, she couldn't help but interrupt her and said: "The Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee issued an interview task to produce an exclusive interview with the theme of "A Day in the Life of an Outstanding Grassroots Cadre". We Deputy Mayor Zhao Xiangdong was selected.”
Guan Jing understood, smiled and said: "Deputy Mayor Zhao is busy building roads in Dawa Village, and he is in disgrace every day. Why are you interviewing him? Like Deputy Mayor Zheng, Section Chief Li, Station Chief Jiang, They are all excellent. Let’s talk about me. When I wake up every morning, I have to think about being a leader..."
Ye Na looked at Guan Jing, then at the photographer, stood up with a faint smile, and said: "Director Guan, don't bother me, let's go directly to Dawa Village!"
The interview vehicle had to stop when it was about to enter Dawa Village, and Ye Na and the photographer had to walk towards Dawa Village.
"Mayor Zhao, Mayor Zhao, someone is looking for you."
A construction worker came to Zhao Xiangdong and said.
"Who?"
Zhao Xiangdong, who was looking at the drawings, looked up.
