rebirth against the times

As for the second reason for taking office in Xiao Town, it was a small trap arranged for him by Long Zaihai. Obviously Long Zaihai would not be reconciled to the loss of his financial position. On this day, there was a team meeting in the town.

On the forum, Long Zaihai took the initiative to talk about the construction plan of Baijia Town, and even raised it to the urbanization construction of Shudu City and the national western development strategy. Then the conversation changed and he discussed the difficulty of demolishing illegal buildings in Baijia Town and the advancement of land acquisition and demolition.

He was severely criticized for the slowness of the problem. Finally, he showed his fangs and said that now it has been clarified that the town leader is responsible for the specific implementation of these problems in the town, and these are all the mess left by the previous mayor.

Xiao Zhen, the successor mayor, has unshirkable responsibilities. What this means is that if Xiao Zhen fails to complete the task, he may be labeled as hindering the grand strategic goal of developing western China.

Xiao Zhen understood that this was a trap, but he did not think about rejecting it. He understood that if these problems were not solved, it would cause serious obstacles to the development of Baijia Town. Currently, it is precisely because of this that Baijia Town's development in the previous round

The construction is obviously lagging behind other areas, and this problem is something that he, the mayor, cannot avoid.

That night, in a private room of a teahouse in the town, four people sat around the mahjong table and smoked. A stack of hundred-yuan bills was placed in front of each person. It was Long Zaihai and deputy mayor Bai Shuisheng.

Director Ma in the office and Li Xiaoming, the teahouse owner, are playing mahjong.

"Secretary Long, my teahouse is also an illegal building. If Mayor Xiao wants to operate on me, you have to make the decision for me." Li Xiaoming, the owner of the teahouse, said as he carefully typed out a 30,000 yuan card.

"Haha, wait a minute, Hula, Qingyise"

Long Zaihai made a fool of himself and continued with a smile: "Old Li, what are you afraid of? This involves more than just your family. Besides, the biggest illegal building in this town is not your teahouse. Then naturally,

Someone will stand up, why are you nervous?"

"Yes, the secretary's move is really clever. Once it comes, the illegal construction and land acquisition and demolition can be said to be on par with every household in the town. If he is too tough and causes public resentment, Xiao Zhen will be waiting to become a mass

He is a public enemy. A foreign mayor has lost the trust of the masses. It will not take more than a phone call from Secretary Long to get rid of him."

The person who answered the conversation was Bai Shuisheng, the deputy mayor. Looking at Long Zaihai’s approving gaze, he continued: “As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress local snakes. If it weren’t for the prestige of our Secretary Long, Baishui Town would not be controlled here.

It's been going so smoothly these past few years. Xiao Zhen wants to make trouble in this town, but he doesn't know how good the local snakes here are at biting people."

"Yes, yes, yes, not to mention Bai Wanhao's family, he can be crushed to death ten times. Xiao Zhen dares to touch just those old people in the dilapidated houses on the west side. If he goes too far, Mayor Bai will go deep into the masses.

Do some work so that some people who have been persecuted can bravely stand up and jointly accuse Xiao Zhen. Then we will see who can save him." Director Ma also quickly added a few sentences to show his sense of presence.

"Yes, I won't buy anyone's account in this town except you, Secretary Long. Only you, Secretary Long, can come forward to calm the anger of the angry masses like us." Li Xiaoming flattered Long Zaihai in a sensible way.

.

Long Zaihai said with a serious face: "I always put the interests of the people first, but I have to support Mayor Xiao's work. Don't worry, if Mayor Xiao does it then

If it goes too far, I will definitely stand up and give an explanation to the masses... Oops! What a fool again, big pair, haha!!"

At this time, the private room was filled with a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.

Two weeks have passed. Although Xiao Zhen personally took the lead and went deep into the front line to organize the demolition work, there was still no progress in the demolition work. Facing those illegally built households, Xiao Zhen could still argue forcefully, but when faced with the old wooden houses to the west,

He really didn't dare to have the slightest temper with those old people. No matter how patiently they explained their work, the old people were stubborn and refused to move. They said they would die in the old house. Two of them with a big temper even pointed out that

He scolded Xiao Zhen, which made Xiao Zhen feel aggrieved.

As for Bai Wanhao, the biggest local snake in Baijia Town, Xiao Zhen did not see Bai Wanting and his good-for-nothing son-in-law Liang Ying. After all, Bai Wanting was knowledgeable and knew etiquette. In his mansion, which was also built illegally, it was very difficult to see her.

Xiao Zhen was received warmly. Bai Wanting is a very smart woman. She expressed tactfully that she did not want to be the first and would not be used as a weapon by people with ulterior motives. But she also hoped that Xiao Zhen would not fall into the trap of others.

, insisting on using her house as a tool to establish her authority.

Xiao Zhen told the Bai family: Demolition is a need of national planning. If Baijia Town is to seize the opportunity and achieve better development, then every Baijia Town person should support and cooperate with the government's decision. At the same time, Baijia Town

As a well-known figure in Shudu's business community, Wanhao should support national construction and contribute to the development of his hometown.

Back in the office, Xiao Zhen carefully investigated Bai Wanhao's information: He is a member of the Provincial CPPCC, vice chairman of the Shudu Chamber of Commerce, and a native of Baijia Town. With the spring breeze of reform, he started from scratch and built a huge business. Currently, the industry involves hotels and catering.

In many fields such as commercial supermarkets, steel wholesale, real estate, etc., the assets are conservatively estimated to be no less than 5 billion. On the surface, such power is really not something that a small town mayor can shake. However, although Xiao Zhen is not afraid,

I don’t want to offend him for the time being. No matter what Millionaire thinks, at least Bai Wanting is reasonable. At present, it seems that the Bai family does not want to stand against them, so there is no need for her to follow Long Zaihai’s ideas.

Provoke this local snake.

But sometimes the opportunity comes unexpectedly. Of course, the premise is that you must be fully prepared and keen to seize the opportunity. Just when Long Zaihai and the others thought that Xiao Zhen had given up, another notification document arrived, making Xiao

The town started from scratch with a new layout.

This is a flood prevention notice issued by the province. Although such notices have been issued every year in the past, this year it was obviously issued earlier than in previous years. The notice has attracted great attention from all places, especially in Sichuan urban areas.

We will encounter rainy weather that is rare in a century. Xiao Zhen learned more detailed information from the National Meteorological Administration through his own connections. He found that the problem this time may be much more serious than the notice, and the biggest problem at present is

, there have been few floods in the history of Shu Capital, and many flood control facilities have great hidden dangers due to years of neglect. After a little thought, Xiao Zhen was ready to officially light his third fire after taking office.

The weather in May was already slightly hot. On this day, Xiao Zhen convened the leadership team and relevant departments to attend a special meeting on flood control to comprehensively arrange the deployment tasks. He even asked the office staff to start from this meeting and make comprehensive records.

Every meeting in the town, every decision, and the assigned work tasks must be supervised and checked daily. Although Long Zaihai thought that Xiao Zhen was making a fuss, Xiao Zhen held the provincial documents, so no one could tell.

Objected. After the meeting, Director Ma and others immediately gathered in the secretary's office and muttered something.

Director Ma said with an aggrieved look: "Secretary Long, where do you think he is from? A flood control officer is acting like a war and has arranged so many things for the comrades in our office. I think he is deliberately doing this to us."

I'm looking for something to do."

Deputy Mayor Bai sneered twice and said: "I think Xiao Town has given up on the demolition and is making a big fuss about flood control to divert everyone's attention."

"What are you diverting attention from? Carrying out flood control work in the capital of Shu is already funny enough. I think he is getting angry and messing around. Not only will it not divert attention, it will also attract more attention."

Long Zaihaiguan continued to speak with authority: "Xiao Ma, you better work hard. You still have to do a good job in arranging things on the surface. Don't let him catch you. Deputy Mayor Bai, keep an eye on me.

With Xiao Zhen, don't let him mess around. We can't let him avoid the demolition like this. He has to be beaten from time to time."

After everyone discussed it, they dispersed with joy.

In the following days, Xiao Zhen was busy inspecting the flood control work every day. He not only conducted a comprehensive inspection of Baijia Town, but also learned about the places outside Baijia Town that may interact with each other, and mastered the first-hand information. At the same time, he personally

I went to the county and the city implemented the project funds and organized flood control supplies. Although there were many obstacles, all the work was carried out in an orderly manner. In the blink of an eye, in early July, the weather in Shudu had obviously changed significantly, with continuous heavy rain.

, making Xiao Zhen’s heart extremely heavy. Just a few days ago, internal information from the National Meteorological Administration reached him again. This time the flood control situation may be more serious than previously expected. But thankfully, the city

The disaster prevention funds from Lihe County finally arrived in the town through Xiao Zhen's efforts. Although there was some delay, it was still timely.

Early that morning, Xiao Zhen asked the office to notify him of another special meeting on flood control at 10:30 to study the next key tasks. When he arrived at the conference room, except for Xiao Wu in the office, there was no one there. When asked,

I found out later that after issuing the meeting notice in the morning, the town party committee suddenly notified everyone to go to a place called Luyang Villa for quality development activities at 9:30. Deputy Mayor Zhang, who has always been close to Xiao Town, was also suddenly notified by the county

Went to attend the meeting. It is said that Secretary Long specially told Xiao Zhen that because Xiao Zhen was busy with work, there was no need to notify Xiao Zhen to attend. He only asked Xiao Wu from the office to come and tell Xiao Zhen that he should rush to Luyang Villa for dinner at noon. Xiao Zhen

He was so angry that he slammed the door and walked out, and then the scene where Xiao Zhen met Bai Shuo and Cao An in the town office building happened.

Okay, if you play rogue with me, I will fight with you. Xiao Zhen sent out meeting notices for three days in a row. Each time, there were only a few people, but Long Zaihai did it for various reasons.

I have never participated in a meeting. Xiao Zhen also specially asked people to record the meeting truthfully. In this way, the work could be arranged in one meeting. Through Xiao Zhen's piecemeal arrangements and the individual exchange of opinions between departments, it was finally possible.

It was gradually promoted.

Soon, the drainage facilities in the town were basically cleared; in the dilapidated houses to the west, Xiao Zhen, in addition to his many sincere mobilizations, also invited the children and relatives of the old people to work together, plus those who had relocated.

The local conditions are obviously better, but most people have moved out of the dilapidated buildings, leaving only three or five families who are unwilling to move out anyway; the vendors in the Qianqian Road underground passage finally agreed to evacuate, but they must

First get the rent refund from the town; there is still the last obstacle left in the flood channel connecting the quarry in the southeast, which is only a few hundred meters away from being completely opened. Moreover, Director Ma of the office has become much more honest recently.

Xiao Zhen investigated and warned him about abusing his power and taking shares in the Internet cafe. Although there was not much direct evidence, it also played a role in swaying the mountain. In addition to not being too embarrassed for Cao An's Internet cafe for the time being, he did not dare to deal with Xiao Zhen's arrangements.

I no longer dare to be obedient and disobedient.

However, Long Zaihai couldn't sit still. He didn't expect that if Xiao Zhen's working ability was so strong, he could advance the leading work so quickly under so much resistance. This was simply a violation of his authority as a secretary.

A serious challenge. Everyone knows that he and Xiao Zhen are at odds with each other. It is also an open secret that he secretly obstructs the flood control work led by Xiao Zhen in every possible way. Every project promoted by Xiao Zhen is like a thorn.

In his eyes, he decided to use the absolute authority of his secretary to suppress Xiao Zhen.

As a result, the flood drainage channel finally stopped at a distance of about 300 meters; the vendors in the underground passage once again refused to evacuate because they could not receive compensation, and even camped in their stalls all night, threatening the town.

Silent protest; other large and small projects were also forced to stop. The reason was that Long Zaihai refused to sign the relevant fund payment, and recalled most of the comrades who were performing flood control tasks and arranged other work. Xiao

Zhen Zai got angry with Long Zaihai in public in the town, but Long Zaihai scolded Xiao Zhen for not distinguishing between priorities and excessively consuming the town's already tight funds. He also branded Xiao Zhen as a man who was overjoyed and stubborn.

The rain stopped intermittently for a few days, like the calm before the outbreak, followed by three consecutive days of intense rainfall. The daily rainfall in some areas of Shudu even exceeded 280 mm. Xiao Zhen wore a raincoat every day to check the flood control situation.

Long Zaihai looked at the streets in the town that had become like rivers, and began to have some doubts in his heart, but he only signed and confirmed several project payments that should be paid. In fact, until now Long Zaihai has not

I don't believe that there will be any floods in the territory of the capital of Shu. The reason why I signed and delegated power is because I feel that it is almost a rare thing to suppress Xiao. On the other hand, if something really happens, he can also have a reason to be exempted from liability.
