Zhang Dongjian ignored Guo Jinzhu and turned around to look for Lu Yiwei. Seeing the latter hiding in a corner, Zhang Dongjian waved his hand. "Why are you hiding so far away? Come here!"
Lu Yiwei quickly went up and said respectfully, "Secretary-General Zhang, welcome to our Black Mountain County for an inspection. If there's anything wrong with our hospitality, I hope you can correct me."
Zhang Dongjian did not let Lu Yiwei sit down and raised his cigarette. "I heard that Black Mountain County is a country-level impoverished county. Is that right?"
"Yes." Lu Yiwei sincerely said, "The County party committee has not been working hard enough. We are trying our best to change this, and we will remove this label in three to five years."
"Oh, I don't care about that. Let's talk about the present." Zhang Dongjian raised his head and stared at Lu Yiwei. "A country-level impoverished county is smoking Chunghwa cigarettes and drinking Longjing tea? Are you guys like this usually? This is not good. You should know that there are still a lot of common people who haven't solved the problem of food and clothing, but you people eat and drink like a pig, extravagant and wasteful, simply not taking the people's hard-earned money seriously. You want me to smoke like this? "Saying that, he fiercely extinguished the cigarette, took out the Furong Wang from his pocket and lit it.
Lu Yiwei was dumbfounded. Is this old man putting on airs or is he an honest official? This sudden change was practically tormenting him to the point of insanity. But he calmly said, "Secretary-General Zhang, I usually smoke Hongtashan. This is because you are here, that's why I took out such good cigarettes and tea." He said as he took out Hongtashan from his pocket.
Zhang Dongjian squinted his eyes and flicked the ash in the ashtray. "Since I am here, you should not be so extravagant. Alright, seeing that you're still young, I won't say much. But I have to remind you, don't learn the ways of those officials at such a young age. It's not good. But I believe that Jin Zhu will not condone you guys. It's time to put a stop to this. "
The people sitting next to him were all deputy directors of the various provincial departments. When they heard this, they looked at each other and had a whole new level of respect for this newly appointed secretary general. Guo Jinzhu was even more furious. He picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp.
Lu Yiwei tried to explain, but Zhang Dongjian stood up and said, "That's enough. I'm not here to correct your style today. Hurry up and go check out the other locations." After saying that, he imitated the way a leader would act, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the lounge with his head held high.
Lu Yiwei brought him to a relatively spacious guest room on the second floor. "Secretary-General Zhang, this room is specially prepared for Governor Zhao. We are currently renovating it, and it should be completed in two days."
The room was being renovated, and the paint smell was pungent. Zhang Dongjian frowned and looked around. "Dongjian, you are giving Governor Zhao this room?"
Lu Yiwei looked at Zhang Dongjian. "Secretary-General Zhang, Black Mountain County is poor, and this is the condition of the guest room. You even connected two guest rooms to make one big room …"
"Fine, fine, fine!" Zhang Dongjian interrupted and waved his hand. "This won't do. Do you think this is for your Municipal Party Committee leaders? It's too casual. Look at this living room. At most, a sofa would be enough to fill up the space. Look at the bedroom. I don't think there's even a 1.8 meter bed. There's also the bathroom. This is too small. Furthermore, the paint smell is so strong. How is Governor Zhao going to live here? Is there a better place? "
Lu Yiwei replied. "There is, but that place is the Entertainment City. I don't think it's appropriate to put Governor Zhao there."
"Oh." Zhang Dongjian thought for a while. "This won't do. Think of another way. It has to be spacious, bright, comfortable, and quiet. If you can't even do this, how can you do anything else? "
Guo Jinzhu couldn't take it anymore. He went up and said, "Since Secretary-General Zhang is not satisfied with the room, why don't we build a new building now?"
"This …" Zhang Dongjian's face darkened. "Jinzhu, what kind of joke is this? It's an honor for Governor Zhao to stay in Black Mountain County. At the very least, it has to be something serious. This won't do. If you want to build it, then do it. I don't care. Think of another way. "After that, he walked out of the room.
After Zhang Dongjian left, Guo Jinzhu went up to Lu Yiwei and said, "Do what you need to do. Don't listen to him. Who does he think he is!"
The group came to the venue. This time, Zhang Dongjian was even angrier. He criticized Lu Yiwei bluntly. "I say, Little Lu, you are still too young. You don't know how to behave. How can the venue be set up at this place? This, this, this … look at the environment. An abandoned factory. Are you asking Governor Zhao to investigate the sanitation of the factory or to look at your old factory? The venue needs to be changed. "
Lu Yiwei held his breath and explained, "Secretary-General Zhang, there are two to three hundred people in this meeting. Our county doesn't have a large conference room. It took us a lot of effort to find this place. We don't have any other intentions. Look, it's all covered up. You won't be able to see it after we clean it up. "
Zhang Dongjian stood there for a long time and shook his head helplessly. "Sigh! I don't know who came up with this stupid idea. Why did they have to come to this place for a meeting? Look at the environment. It's too bad. And you local officials don't understand the spirit of your superiors. Fine, you can do whatever you want. I will report to Governor Zhao when I get back. "
Xiao Wang Village. Deputy Mayor Zhao Jiancheng was quite hardworking. He had changed the village in three to four days. The sanitation of the village was completely cleaned up. The front and back of the houses were painted white. The doors and windows of every household were repainted. A large pigsty at the entrance of the village was transformed into a breeding farm. The two sides of the road at the entrance of the village recorded in detail the typical deeds of fighting against SARS in Heishan County. At the same time, a big sign was set up at the entrance of the village. "Build the largest tussah breeding base in Xijiang Province. Build the 'Tussah Village' in the northwest region."
Zhang Dongjian strolled around and didn't say anything. But if he didn't find fault, how could he show that he was the leader of the "Inspector General"? He said, "Since it's a provincial health work meeting, it should be closely integrated with health. Don't add things that don't match. Focus on how you fought against SARS and what benefits you brought to the local people after the end of SARS. This, this, this, the Tussah Village? Did you name this yourselves? "
Fan Rongkui, who had been silent all this time, couldn't stand it anymore. He stepped forward and said, "Secretary-General Zhang, when I asked Governor Zhao, he allowed the local government to show the economic development. As the governor of a province, he should know the overall situation of a county. "
Zhang Dongjian knew the relationship between him and Lu Yiwei. He snorted and got into the car.
On the way, Zhang Dongjian stopped and gave different opinions everywhere he went. In one area, where there was a vacant lot, he asked for trees to be replanted. Along the road, there were several dilapidated houses that he wanted either to be torn down or covered up. Walking on the sidewalk, he asked for the sidewalk tiles to be replaced. He was an expert in everything, pointing out minor faults. No one would be able to handle such a leader.
At first, Guo Jinzhu followed the inspection, but later he just hid in the car and didn't come out. Lu Yiwei followed closely behind with his notebook. Everywhere he went, he would write something down. Zhang Dongjian's official airs became more and more arrogant. He would often say to Lu Yiwei, "You mark this place down … You have to write down what I said …"
The inspection in the morning was finally over. They went to the cafeteria and prepared to eat.
In the morning, Zhang Dongjian criticized Lu Yiwei for being extravagant and wasteful. He called Zhao Xiaokang again during the inspection. They still prepared a simple meal for the first time.
Zhang Dongjian looked at the table full of home-cooked local specialties and his face turned green. He said to Guo Jinzhu, "Jinzhu, you are too frugal. It's not easy for me to come here, and you want me to eat this?"
Guo Jinzhu said, "Secretary Zhang, you don't want extravagance. We will do as you say. Furthermore, these are home-cooked dishes in Black Mountain County. Try it. It's not inferior to the restaurants in the provincial capital. "
Zhang Dongjian picked up his chopsticks and took a bite. He was really unhappy.
After the meal, Zhang Dongjian did not want to stay in Black Mountain County any longer. He hurriedly returned to the provincial capital.
Guo Jinzhu sent him back to Black Mountain County and said to Lu Yiwei, "Prepare what you had prepared. Don't listen to his nonsense. He doesn't know anything. How dare he make a fuss. He doesn't know what's good for him."
Seeing that Guo Jinzhu was angry, Lu Yiwei hurriedly said in shame, "Secretary Guo, it's all my fault for not preparing in advance. Don't worry, I will rectify it immediately. I promise I won't embarrass you on the day of the meeting."
Guo Jinzhu waved his hand and said, "I think you did a good job. It's not bad to be able to do this in just a few days. This is the situation in Black Mountain County. If you are too extravagant and wasteful, Governor Zhao might have an opinion. "My idea is to let him see the real Western State, how poor and backward it is."
"How many years has it been? Western State is like a stepmother. The previous leader did not pay attention to it. He gathered the entire province's resources and invested all the funds into the construction of Eastern State and Southern State. Eastern State gets seven percent of the funds for the same project, but Western State only gets one. This is too f * cking unfair. "This time, Governor Zhao came to me to complain. Let's not ask him to be fair, but at least tilt the scales appropriately."
Listening to Guo Jinzhu's complaints, Lu Yiwei could feel the resentment in his heart. It was true. Western State's geographical location was more remote. It did not have the investment value of Eastern State. There were no mineral resources in the country, and there was no market value in Northern State to support. Although it was adjacent to the neighboring province like Nanzhou City, its development was extremely uneven. Without a pillar of industry, all the beautiful visions were like castles in the air, a mirage.
Lu Yiwei comforted him, "If through this on-site meeting, we can change the provincial leader's view of Western State, then our efforts will not be in vain. I'm just afraid that Comrade Lei Feng will not have a household registration. He will come in March and leave in April. "
