Chen Xing remained silent. On the other end of the phone, Zhao Conggang could not see Chen Xing's expression, so he continued, "Mayor Chen, I heard that your city has sent an audit team to Jiangqi. What's wrong? Have you found anything?
Not yet.
Listen, that's right. I believe that the management of Jiangqi has a strong political consciousness and party spirit. How could there be any problem? But you, the original audit period is up, and you extended it by half a month for no reason. What will the people below you think? You are hurting the feelings of your own people, and it will also hit … "
Zhao Conggang kept talking. Chen Xing was a little impatient, so he simply interrupted, "Deputy Governor Zhao, first of all, I have to correct your words. The audit team sent by the city is only to conduct routine financial audits, not to deliberately target anything. Secondly, another important purpose of the audit team is to understand the current predicament of Jiangqi, and to explore and find solutions, not to find fault with Jiangqi. I think Deputy Governor Zhao is biased because he has heard something from some people."
Chen Xing's words were very impolite, even disregarding Zhao Conggang's face. However, since Zhao Conggang dared to call and say such words, Chen Xing did not need to listen to him obediently. Jiang City was a sub-provincial city. In terms of rank, he and Zhao Conggang were both sub-provincial officials. In terms of status, he was not necessarily worse than Zhao Conggang. What right did Zhao Conggang have to criticize him? To put it bluntly, if I don't give you face, who do you think you are?
Obviously, Zhao Conggang did not expect Chen Xing to turn hostile just like that. He was so stunned that he was rendered speechless by Chen Xing. In the next moment, he was even more furious. Chen Xing did not give him any face at all.
Well, since Mayor Chen said so, then forget that I made this call. After a while, Zhao Conggang suppressed his anger and hung up the phone sulkily.
Seeing that Zhao Conggang hung up the phone so quickly, Chen Xing curled his lips. He knew that his words just now had offended Deputy Governor Zhao, who he hadn't had much contact with before.
Mayor Chen, your words just now must have upset Deputy Governor Zhao. Kong Zhengliang smiled bitterly.
It wasn't a guess, but he was already unhappy. Chen Xing shrugged. It seemed that some people in Jiangqi couldn't sit still anymore. As soon as the city decided to extend the audit period, they couldn't wait to move people from the province to put pressure on the city.
Perhaps there really was something wrong with Jiang Qi. Kong Zhengliang sighed helplessly. He had thought about this problem before. The city gave Jiang Qi hundreds of millions of yuan in financial subsidies every year, but even so, it still couldn't stop the financial deficit of Jiang Qi. Kong Zhengliang didn't believe that Jiang Qi was really losing money normally. With such a big deficit, Kong Zhengliang didn't believe that some leaders of Jiang Qi didn't take advantage of their power to enrich themselves.
"Zhengliang, don't worry about it. If there really is a problem, I'll take the thunder. I won't let the bomb fall on your head." Chen Xing patted Kong Zhengliang on the shoulder and said half-jokingly.
"Mayor Chen, don't treat me like an outsider. I'm also a member of the team. If the higher-ups really want to put pressure on us, I'll stand on the same side as Mayor Chen." Kong Zhengliang said calmly. Although he didn't have the courage to do something like Chen Xing, he could still support Chen Xing at the critical moment.
They chatted as they walked. Tonight, they stayed in the guesthouse of the County Party Committee in Zhaoliang County. Next to the guesthouse was a small park. Although it was not big, it was enough for a stroll after dinner. Chen Xing and Kong Zhengliang talked about things as they walked. In addition to the problem of Jiang Qi, they also talked about the poverty alleviation in Zhaoliang County. As the most important poverty alleviation county in the city, the task of poverty alleviation in Zhaoliang County was not easy. In addition to focusing on the financial support, the city also needed to find a sustainable way to get rich for the farmers in the poor villages.
Today's inspection was to inspect several key poverty alleviation enterprises in the county. Tomorrow, Chen Xing would go to the countryside, and Kong Zhengliang would return to the city. This time, Chen Xing arranged a five-day trip in Zhaoliang County. Kong Zhengliang accompanied him yesterday and today, but he couldn't stay in Zhaoliang County for five days. As the Executive Deputy Mayor, he also had his own schedule.
After walking around the small park for a while, Chen Xing looked at the time and said with a smile, "We've been here for two days. A lot of county leaders have been following us. It's not convenient to see anything. Let's take this opportunity to walk on the street tonight.
It's still early, and we have nothing to do when we go back. " Kong Zhengliang nodded in agreement. After dinner, they sent all the people in the county away, so they felt more at ease.
Walking out from the other end of the small park, they were already on the street. The guesthouse of the county party committee was in the county, only one street away from the bustling main street. The other end of the small park happened to be connected to the main street.
They walked slowly on the street, followed by the secretary and the driver. Around them, there were a few capable men in civilian clothes scattered around them like ordinary pedestrians. These people were all capable policemen transferred from the county bureau, responsible for the safety of the city leaders. In fact, this was a direct reflection of the advantages and disadvantages of being a leader. It sounded good to have someone to protect you, but sometimes it became inconvenient to walk alone.
Zhaoliang County has been developing very fast in recent years. The growth rate of the income of the urban residents is not worse than that of other areas in the city. Kong Zhengliang looked at the tall buildings rising from the ground in the county and said to Chen Xing, who was beside him.
As far as we can see, the development of the county is indeed good, but it's a typical top-heavy county. Zhaoliang County is developing the county with the whole county's strength. This will only make the county develop better and better, but the countryside become poorer and poorer. Chen Xing said.
Chen Xing's words made Kong Zhengliang speechless. He knew that Chen Xing was right, and this was indeed the actual situation of the current development of Zhaoliang County.
Walking along the street, Kong Zhengliang saw a stall selling snacks on the side of the road. He couldn't help but smile. This is Zhaoliang Handmade Rice Noodles, which is very famous in Jiang City. It is one of the local specialties. Mayor Chen, do you want to try it?
Really? Let's try it. Hearing this, Chen Xing walked over with a smile. Anyway, they were just out for a walk. It's not bad to try some delicious food.
Kong Zhengliang ordered two bowls of rice noodles with vegetables, eggs, and vegetables. For people like them who could eat delicacies at all kinds of banquets, sometimes a little vegetarian food was more to their taste.
