It turned out that Qin Zhongming had been demoted to be the mayor of Hedong City because of a villain. If Qin Zhongming couldn't achieve anything in a year, he would probably be stuck in Hedong City as a mayor in name only for the rest of his life.
Qin Zhongming came to Hedong City with a lot of enthusiasm. His daughter was also here, so he felt that he was not alone. But the result was not what he wanted. Not only did Hedong City's Municipal Party Secretary not give him a good start, but he also gave him a hard time.
Qin Zhongming went to the Hedong City Government office to report that day, but he was refused entry. It was a difficult time for him to report during the holidays. Most of the staff were on holiday, and only a few staff members were on duty. They did not know anything about him.
Qin Zhongming waited for more than two hours before he saw the Municipal Party Secretary, Feng Guoqing. In the end, Feng Guoqing said, "I have something to do, so I will not accompany you. You should familiarize yourself with the surroundings."
After saying that, Feng Guoqing left. Without the approval of the Municipal Party Secretary, he was nothing as a Mayor. No one in the government compound knew him. Those who knew his identity only whispered among themselves.
Qin Zhongming finally understood that Feng Guoqing was giving him a hard time. He wanted to let him know that Feng Guoqing was from Hedong City.
Since that was the case, Qin Zhongming immediately lowered his attitude and called Feng Guoqing. He thought that by doing this, Feng Guoqing would know that he was giving in and would not put too much pressure on him. Unexpectedly, Feng Guoqing pretended that he did not know who he was and hung up the phone.
Only then did Qin Zhongming realize that this was not just a show of strength. There must be another reason. After asking around, he found out that Feng Guoqing had worked for the person who had forced him to go to Hedong City. The two of them had a good personal relationship, and Feng Guoqing would listen to whatever that person said. Qin Zhongming knew that Hedong City was not a place to live.
Yesterday, when he arrived at the unit, a section chief on duty gave him a few pointers. What he meant was that as a newcomer, he should at least hold a banquet and treat the secretary and all the leaders to a meal. Moreover, it could not be from public funds.
For the sake of his future career, Qin Zhongming immediately made arrangements. He even arranged for them to stay at the most expensive hotel in Hedong City. There were 12 people, and the meal cost him more than 16,000 yuan. The food was not worth much, and the standard cost of 380 yuan per person was less than 5,000 yuan in total. The remaining 10,000 yuan was all for the drinks!
These people were really ruthless. They drank 14 bottles of red wine that cost more than 800 yuan each.
It would be good if money could be used to settle this matter. However, Qin Zhongming did not feel that these people's attitudes towards him had changed even after the dinner ended. In the end, Feng Guoqing left after receiving a call and never returned. Seeing Feng Guoqing leave, the others also left one after another. Because Feng Guoqing didn't say goodbye when he left, this group of people clearly saw that Secretary Feng didn't like Mayor Qin at all, so they all stayed away from him.
Qin Zhongming had a fire in his heart that he could not vent. He forced himself to drink all the remaining wine in the bottle and got drunk in the end. He had not contacted Qin Wan 'er because he felt that he could not face his daughter at this time.
Qin Zhongming went to work early in the morning, but he did not expect to see Feng Guoqing in his office. Feng Guoqing even greeted him with a smile. Qin Zhongming thought that it was because of the meal yesterday. However, he did not expect Feng Guoqing to be hiding a knife in his smile. He asked him to be in charge of the demolition of an old district in Hedong City.
It was not easy to demolish an old district these days. Qin Zhongming was not familiar with the place and did not know many people. The cooperation between the various departments was so poor that it gave him a headache.
However, this was work after all. Qin Zhongming went to the site personally and found out how difficult it was to demolish the old district. Eight out of ten of the famous unruly residents in Hedong City were from this district. They all had nothing to do during the National Day holiday, so they all gathered at home.
Moreover, there was a local bully who did not care about his life. When he heard that the leader of the demolition office was coming, he immediately took out a kitchen knife and wanted to chop him up.
Then, someone called the police. When he heard that someone wanted to chop the new mayor, Director Chen of the Public Security Bureau could not sit still. He immediately led a team and set off. Qin Wan 'er naturally followed. At this time, Qin Wan' er found out that the new mayor was actually her father! That was why she made an appointment with her father at night to pick him up after work and bring him to the Medicinal Cuisine Hotel.
After listening to Qin Zhongming's story, Xu Yun finally understood why he drank so quickly. It was because he was angry. Anyone who had anger in their heart would not feel good. The Municipal Party Secretary, Feng Guoqing, had gone too far.
"Sigh." Qin Zhongming sighed. "Don't tell Wan 'er about this. I don't want her work to be affected because of me. I have thought about it. The demolition work will not be completed in a short time. Once it is not completed, she will have a reason to be dissatisfied with my work. At that time, I am not sure where I will go. "
Xu Yun suddenly said, "What if the demolition work can be completed smoothly?"
Qin Zhongming was stunned. "I am afraid that can only be imagined. According to what I saw in the morning, it is really difficult. Now the government pays attention to treating people with courtesy. If the network of people is bigger, it may be possible to find someone who can persuade them. But with my current situation, I am afraid that it is impossible to persuade them. "
Xu Yun smiled faintly, "Uncle Qin, regarding this matter … I'm afraid that there's not a single place in the entire Huaxia Empire that's easy to deal with. There are very few that can be solved by talking nicely. Most of them use other methods.
"Xu Yun, what do you mean?" Qin Zhongming said and quickly waved his hand. "If I do something that violates the policy, I will give Feng Guoqing more leverage. Maybe he is waiting for me to do this."
Xu Yun touched his chin. He did not expect that there would be traps everywhere in the officialdom. After Qin Zhongming said this, he realized that this was really a trap waiting for Qin Zhongming to jump into. If Qin Zhongming dared to forcefully demolish the demolition, Feng Guoqing would definitely stab him in the back.
Qin Zhongming smiled bitterly. "Xu Yun, you don't have to worry about this for me. I know what I should do. Although I am in a dilemma now, I will weigh the pros and cons. Even if I am uncomfortable, I will never let Feng Guoqing be happy."
"Uncle Qin, where is the old demolition area that you mentioned? Can you tell me about it? Maybe I can have someone I know to help me with the work." Xu Yun did not give up.
However, Qin Zhongming still said, "Don't waste your effort. I even suspect that the people in the demolition office have received orders. If I don't leave, they won't really mobilize anyone to demolish. Even if you find someone you know, I am afraid it will not be easy to solve."
Xu Yun grinned and said, "Uncle Qin, don't worry. The people I find are definitely not your people."
"Then you have to promise me that you will never use violence against the people," Qin Zhongming said. He had more or less heard some things about Xu Yun from Qin Wan 'er. Naturally, he also knew that Xu Yun was not an ordinary person since he could run such a big hotel.
Xu Yun immediately said, "I promise that I will not use violence. I am also a member of the people, so I know what kind of solution the people need. "
Although Xu Yun said so, Xu Yun still had his own ideas. If he arranged for someone to persuade them with reason and emotion, or even if he did it himself, it would be good if the problem could be solved as soon as possible even if he privately paid part of the money for the demolition. However, if this group of people did not appreciate it and put forward more excessive demands, then sorry. Although Xu Yun was not a demon or a bad guy, he was definitely not a kind person. He only promised that he would not use violence, but he did not promise that the group of people under him would not use violence.
For the people who had reasonable demands, Xu Yun must put their interests first. However, for the rogue bastards who wanted to rely on demolition to become rich in a second, Xu Yun would not pity them because they were a vulnerable group. Not all vulnerable groups were worthy of pity. Countless things in this society had proven this point.
Qin Zhongming was relieved after hearing him say so. He told Xu Yun the location. "It is a shanty town in Wenhui District. The address is …"
Upon hearing this place, Xu Yun was instantly dumbfounded. Wasn't that the shanty town where Qiang and Xiao Fei's family lived? What the hell, wasn't this too much of a coincidence?
"Uncle Qin, are you sure this is the address? Are you sure? "Xu Yun was afraid that he had made a mistake, so he confirmed it again.
Qin Zhongming nodded. "Of course I'm sure. I just went there today. Why … Do you also know that this place is quite difficult?"
"No. Uncle Qin, you are right. Uncle Qin, if it's this place, then don't worry. Three days, give me three days. I'll find someone to help you persuade them. " Xu Yun made a promise and said, "If I can't do this, then I don't have the face to be Wan 'er's best friend. There are many acquaintances in that place! "
Qiang, Xiao Fei, including Xiao Fei's uncle, Pang Gang, and so on, all lived in that place. This demolition was targeted at them. First, it was to solve the city's patching problem. Second, it was to give them a better living environment.
However, that location was not a prime location, so the demolition fee given was not as good as that of a better place. Although it was not much, once the square meter was increased, it was not a small fee. At least, each family could get an extra ten thousand yuan.
Now that the living conditions were better, ten thousand yuan was nothing in the eyes of an ordinary family. However, in the hands of the people who lived in the shanty town all year round, ten thousand yuan was a number that many people could not save in their lifetime!
This was not an exaggeration. Even a blind person could see the gap between the rich and the poor. The dust raised by the flying luxury cars would always choke a few drivers who were pedaling the man-powered tricycles …
Xu Yun already had a basic idea about this matter. He would ask Qiang to come over tomorrow to discuss it. If it could be implemented, then he would solve Qin Zhongming's problem as soon as possible. If not, then he would think of another way.
