Chapter Thirty-Eight

Gao Zhetang quickly stood up and left his seat, stretched out his hands and said with a smile: "We are a rare visitor! Director Lu is here. What instructions do you have?"

Lu Zhonghe sat down on the sofa carelessly: "How dare I instruct you, Lord Mayor? I need to exchange opinions with Mayor Gao on some matters."

Wu Hanwei went out to do errands. Gao Zhetang poured a glass of water himself and sat down across from Lu Zhonghe: "Director Lu, please give me instructions." Because the other party got straight to the point and wanted to talk about work, Gao Zhetang's expression became serious.

Lu Zhonghe was not polite, took a sip of water, and started talking.

The Municipal People's Congress is responsible for the appointment of leading cadres and the supervision of the work of the government and the two houses. Three months ago, not long after Gao Zhetang arrived in Omi City, they established a special review group to review the previous session.

The implementation status of the proposals proposed by the National People's Congress deputies was collected and studied, and the implementation status was sorted out.

There are two issues that Lu Zhonghe thinks should be discussed with the municipal party committee and government. One is the issue of gas station approval, and the other is the social security issue of Omi Pharmaceutical Factory.

In recent years, although Omi's economic growth has not been high, the living index of ordinary people has also improved compared to ten years ago. The number of gas stations in urban and suburban areas has continued to increase, but there is a strange phenomenon. PetroChina and Sinopec are actually the same company.

We have not built any gas stations of our own, we have acquired them all from private parties. The reason is that the land use reports applied by these two companies to build gas stations are always like a stone's throw as soon as they are submitted, and there is never a response. As a last resort, we have to buy private gas stations at high prices.

, and the owners of private gas stations often make millions and tens of millions in profits from reselling.

This issue has been raised at the Municipal People's Congress meetings for several consecutive years, but to this day, the situation has not been properly improved.

As for the social security issue of Omi Pharmaceutical Factory, when some National People's Congress representatives were doing research in Omi Pharmaceutical Factory, many employees of Omi Pharmaceutical Factory reported that their social security contributions were intercepted by the factory. They negotiated with the factory, but the result was that they were forced to

Write a receipt or they will be fired.

After listening to Lu Zhonghe's somewhat passionate narrative, Gao Zhetang got up and went to his desk to get his teacup. This was really troublesome. This was obviously the job of the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Procuratorate, but deputies to the National People's Congress also had this right.

As the top leader of the government, Gao Zhetang knew that he had to deal with it head-on. However, how to deal with it was a difficult problem. He needed to use this short time to determine the countermeasures.

"Director Lu, what's Secretary Liu's opinion?" Gao Zhetang sat back on the sofa and asked casually.

"Isn't Secretary Liu going to the province now? Let me ask for your opinion first. After all, the recommendations of the National People's Congress and the instructions of the municipal party committee must be implemented by the government." Lu Zhonghe laughed.

"Secretary Liu is back." Gao Zhetang said casually.

"Ah?" Lu Zhonghe sat up straight, and the unexpected expression on his face seemed to be real, "Then I will go over and report to Secretary Liu later. Mayor Gao, you can give me your preliminary opinion first. Fortunately, I am here."

Secretary Liu has something to say in front of me."

Faced with the unrelenting pursuit of the director of the National People's Congress, Gao Zhetang certainly would not give in: "Director Lu, you know that I am new here, and I don't know much about many situations, so I don't dare to talk about it. So, let me put the information here first, and I will take a look.

Say it again."

Lu Zhong glanced at Gao Zhetang's face with the same gaze as an awl, and stood up: "Okay, then I'll go to Secretary Liu first."

Gao Zhetang sent Lu Zhonghe to the elevator and returned to the office with a strange expression on his face. The tree was about to be quiet but the wind was not stopping. The director of the National People's Congress sent him two hot potatoes. It was really not the right time! He

What was his purpose? To test him? Or did he really want to pursue these two matters? Also, did he really not know that Secretary Liu was back? Or did he have other motives?

Gao Zhetang was confused for a while. Considering Lu Zhonghe's current situation, he had served as deputy secretary of the Omi City Party Committee. During the movement to remove the "deputy" from the provincial party committee, he retreated to the position of deputy director of the National People's Congress. Later, because of his former position,

With the transfer of Secretary Lu of the Municipal Party Committee, he will be fully responsible for the daily work of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress. However, it seems that it is time for his official career to come to an end. In this way, he no longer has to worry about gains and losses and rely on others, so he should really want to seize it now.

Although I dare not say anything about these two things, if you think about it from this perspective, he is probably trying to find political allies by pretending to exchange opinions with Gao Zhetang today.

After thinking about this, Gao Zhetang felt a little more relaxed.

Of course, if Lu Zhonghe really has such a "grand plan", Gao Zhetang will not easily disturb the muddy waters he proposed, at least not for now.

But since Lu Zhonghe kicked the ball in front of him, he had to take action. He took out the two materials from the folder and read them for a while, and roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter.

If the situation reflected in the materials is true, some people's actions are too bold. Gao Zhetang felt his heart heavy. He stood up and walked back and forth in the office. He opened his mouth and remembered that Wu Hanwei might not come back today, so he went out in confusion.

Building, the door of the Comprehensive Section 1 was open, and there was only Deputy Section Chief Yang Yaoli inside. She looked up and saw Gao Zhetang, and stood up hurriedly: "Mayor Gao, what's the matter?"

Gao Zhetang hesitated: "Xiao Wu is out. I want to find some information."

Yang Yaoli left her seat: "Mayor Gao, please tell me, I will help you find it."

Gao Zhetang looked at the other party's eager eyes and thought: "Chief Yang is from Omi? Director Lu of the National People's Congress just sent a piece of information about the social security of employees of Omi gas station and Omi Pharmaceutical Group, which reflects the existence of land approval for Omi gas station."

Regarding certain issues and the embezzlement of employee social security funds by Omi Pharmaceuticals, you should know something about the situation, right?"

Yang Yaoli was stunned and couldn't understand why the mayor was telling her this. However, Gao Zhetang's tone did not allow her to remain silent. The "should" seemed to force her to answer in the affirmative immediately. She hesitated and nodded: "

Yes."

She paused, looked at the mayor's calm eyes, felt a little guilty, and muttered: "But they are just some rumors, one-sided, and not necessarily objective. So, I will go and find out more in the past few days, and then I will tell Gao Shi

Let me give you a report."

Gao Zhetang said "Oh" with a look of disappointment on his face. Yang Yaoli's heart tightened. Although she didn't want to risk such trouble, she wanted to leave a good impression on the mayor. She forced a smile:

"They, the National People's Congress, are always making noises like this. They pick up chicken feathers and use them as arrows. They will put a curse on us and ask us to endorse whether we come or not. This year, because there is an election task, they forced the government to appoint every deputy director of the National People's Congress.

They allocated a special fund, called a research subsidy, and said that their leaders were all old, so two vehicles transferred from the government were not enough, so they bought a new one, which is now used exclusively by our Director Lu..."

Gao Zhetang patiently listened to her chatter, nodded, said thank you, and left. He returned to his office, his face relaxed and tense, and he smiled.

He understood Yang Yaoli's performance just now, and could even fully grasp the complicated tangle of her psychology at that moment.

At this time, Yang Yaoli was also thinking seriously about the scene just now. She really didn't expect that the mayor, who had always been taciturn, would suddenly talk to her like that. It seemed careless, but it could be regarded as some kind of serious work arrangement. What should she do?

Do you really want to investigate thoroughly? In fact, she can report the general truth to the mayor almost now on these two matters, but obviously it will involve herself in some kind of extremely risky struggle. As a native

Omi, she understands that those are the people she can't afford to offend, and any one of them can easily destroy everything for her. However, if she doesn't do anything or is perfunctory, what if the mayor asks about it one day?

, will she have to take responsibility for this and write a new book in the mayor's mind?

What also makes her feel embarrassed is Gao Zhetang's attitude. Like many people, she has a wait-and-see attitude towards the new mayor. She doesn't know how the new mayor will perform in the end, which will determine the attitudes and actions of many people.

.

She recalled Gao Zhetang's polite thank you when he came to their office for the first time, and she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. While she was in a trance, Huang Xiaofang came back from doing errands, tiptoed to her side, stamped her foot, and yelled, Yang Yaoli jumped out of her seat in fright.

He jumped up and said, "You are seeking death!"

Huang Xiaofang laughed: "To be honest, who are you thinking about?"

Yang Yaoli was about to fight: "You nymphomaniac! You are the only one who thinks about everything all the time. I wonder who will dare to marry you in the future."

While they were making a fuss, Yang Yaoli seemed to suddenly remember something, and pulled Huang Xiaofang to ask: "Is the young man from the office of the director of the Omi Pharmaceutical Group that Mr. Wang from the Party History Office introduced last time?"

Huang Xiaofang curled her lips and said, "It's long gone. I don't like the pretty face and creamy taste. I like mature men, even if he is ten or twenty years older than me."

Yang Yaoli hesitated and asked in a deep voice: "Fangfang, how is Sister Yang?"

Huang Xiaofang looked at Yang Yaoli with a serious face and asked in confusion: "Sister Yang, what's wrong with you?"

Huang Xiaofang said slowly: "We are good sisters, right? Now Sister Yang wants to ask you something. Can you help me?"

Huang Xiaofang's expression became strange: "Sister Yang, you don't have to be like this, right? If you have anything to do, just tell me and see if I can help first."

"You can definitely do it." Yang Yaoli nodded, "I will tell you only after you agree."

Huang Xiaofang was startled, then laughed: "Okay, I promise you. Sister, you are serious, tell me what is going on!"

It's a quarter to six.

Gao Zhetang walked into the lobby of Haoting International.

This is Gao Zhetang's first time here. In this magnificent palace, everyone around him is well-dressed and their expressions are all reserved and confident. Although he is the mayor of this city, he can't help but flinch and hesitate.

A woman in uniform came forward and said softly: "Mayor Gao, please come this way."
