What Liu Shuguang said was the truth. Lu Yiwei was familiar with this procedure, but he did not want to give up. "Chief Liu, I know it's hard for you, but I want to start work within the year. You also know that there was a huge traffic accident in Long An recently, and the accident happened to be on a winding road. Furthermore, it's close to the school, and there's an urgent need to change the route. Otherwise, I don't know if there will be another accident. So, please think of a way. What procedures do we need to go through? Or, how can we include it in the project database? I need some guidance. "
Liu Shuguang frowned. "Have you applied for it before?"
"This … I don't think so."
Liu Shuguang picked up the phone on his desk and made a call. Soon, a middle-aged man came in. "Wenshan, go to the project database and see if there's any application for the 222 Provincial Road. If not, can we make it in time to apply now?"
"Alright. I'll go check now."
About ten minutes later, the man came in. "Chief Liu, I've checked. There's nothing in the project database for the past five years. I don't think there's any application for this road."
"Oh, is it too late to apply now?"
The man looked at Lu Yiwei. "I'm afraid it's too late. We still need to do a site survey, prepare the relevant research materials, budget, and modify the project database with the provincial government. All these procedures will take at least two months. And that's not considering the speed of the National Development and Reform Commission. "
Liu Shuguang looked at Lu Yiwei. "Did you hear that? It's not that I don't want to help you, but it's really difficult. Even if these procedures can be done in a short time, you can't just change the provincial government's work report. The NPC and CPPCC sessions are around the corner, and there's nothing I can do. Next year, come and apply earlier. "
Since Liu Shuguang had already said this, it would be unreasonable for him to continue. So, he smiled. "Alright then. Thank you, Chief Liu."
Liu Shuguang pointed at the man. "This is Chief Cao Wenshan. You can get to know him. If you have any questions, you can talk to him."
Lu Yiwei quickly stood up and shook hands. "Nice to meet you, Chief Cao. I'm Lu Yiwei from Long An."
Cao Wenshan smiled and nodded. "I've heard a lot about you. Nice to meet you."
Liu Shuguang saw that there were still many people around, so Lu Yiwei could only get up and leave. When he went downstairs, the more he thought about it, the more indignant he felt. If he really couldn't make it in time, he would have to wait until next year. Whether or not he could start work next year was another matter. Also, he might not be Liu Shuguang then.
When he reached the first floor, he returned to the seventh floor and searched for a long time before he found the comprehensive planning office. He knocked on the door and said, "Excuse me, is Director Cao here?"
A young girl raised her head and glanced at him. Without saying anything, she pointed at the opposite door.
Sure enough, the higher-ups were all arrogant and did not put him in their eyes at all. But thinking about it, there were so many counties in the province, and there were countless people looking for him every day. Who would have the time to bother with him? Even if you are the secretary of the County party committee, you will still be treated the same.
Lu Yiwei came to the opposite door and saw that there was someone sitting inside. Cao Wenshan saw him, but he just smiled and ignored him, continuing to chat with the man. It was not appropriate for Lu Yiwei to stand at the side and listen, so he could only leave and wait in the corridor. After waiting for more than an hour, the man finally came out.
When he entered, Cao Wenshan said curiously, "Secretary Lu is still here?"
Lu Yiwei quickly took out a cigarette, but Cao Wenshan waved it off. "Sorry, I don't smoke. Is there anything else?"
Lu Yiwei kept his cigarette and said humbly. "Director Cao, I still want to ask you about what happened just now. Long 'an's situation is really special, and there is an urgent need for expansion. Can you give me some guidance on how to get this done?"
Cao Wenshan was getting impatient. "Secretary Lu, I can understand your feelings, but it's too late now. We usually start planning half a year in advance, and the Highway Administration Bureau will report to us, and we will make a unified plan. It will take at least four to five months to complete all the procedures. Even if it is a special case, it will still take at least two months. The most important problem now is that this year's plan has been submitted to the Provincial Government's Standing Committee, and we cannot overturn the Provincial Government's decision. "
Lu Yiwei said shamelessly, "Is there no way to remedy it?"
Cao Wenshan suppressed his anger. "There are 156 Counties in the County, and there are more than 100 provincial roads. All the roads are our children, and we cannot take care of them. Furthermore, the Provincial Government's highway construction budget is fixed. If you add one road, it will increase by tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions. Who dares to take responsibility for you? Look at the other Counties. They had started construction in May, and this time, it will be included in the annual plan. No one will do things like you. The Transportation Department is not solely for Long 'an County, right? "
It seemed that he really couldn't take it anymore. Lu Yiwei could only get up and leave. He had wanted to do something for Long 'an County, but it seems impossible now.
After returning to his car, Lu Yiwei called Zhang Zhiyuan and briefed him about the situation. Zhang Zhiyuan said. "If Director Liu says no, then we can't do it. Let's put it aside and start applying earlier this year to include it in next year's annual plan. "
Lu Yiwei said. "Secretary Zhang, I really want to do this. Can you introduce me to Governor Zhao?"
Zhang Zhiyuan paused for a while. "Governor Zhao and I are only acquaintances, and I'm afraid I can't reach him. Bai Zongfeng is close to him, and he can introduce you. But I advise you to give up. The people in the Province are not stable, and there are many meetings at the end of the year. Governor Zhao will not be in the mood to listen to your report. "
"Alright."
Zhang Zhiyuan continued. "What did I tell you yesterday? You must be patient, and you must not be too hasty. You have been too hasty on this matter. I know you are eager to get results, but don't give yourself too much pressure before you are confident. "
Lu Yiwei humbly accepted and said, "I understand. Thank you for your advice, Secretary Zhang."
"Alright, I still have something to do. That's all."
After hanging up, Lu Yiwei leaned back in his seat and heaved a sigh of relief. He was considering if he should meet Guo Jinzhu again. If he did not want to fight for it, there was no need to owe him a favor. But he was unwilling to give up. If he did not fight for it, who knows if he could succeed? What if there was still a chance? He decided to fight for it again. If this path still did not work, he could only give up temporarily.
He did not call Guo Jinzhu directly, but Hu Zhixiong, the Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone Office Director.
