Kong Zhengliang didn't stay in Chen Xing's office for too long. He was generally satisfied with Wu Gang's first impression. Of course, it was only the first time they met. It was impossible to tell a person's real ability from a few words. Kong Zhengliang hoped that Wu Gang could have real skills instead of just talking on paper. Otherwise, Zhaoliang County, which was the last place in the city, would usher in another few years of idleness, which was what he didn't want to see.
After Kong Zhengliang left, Wu Gang's tense face relaxed a little. Although he was not very nervous, he still felt a little pressure when facing Kong Zhengliang, the Executive Deputy Mayor. After all, unlike Chen Xing, Kong Zhengliang would only look at and examine his personal ability purely with a strict eye. He didn't know how many marks Kong Zhengliang would give him for his performance just now.
"Why? You're nervous in this kind of situation?" Chen Xing looked at Wu Gang with a smile.
"It's the first time that I've met Deputy Mayor Kong, so of course I'm nervous." Wu Gang laughed. "After all, he's the second most important person in the Municipal Government. If he were in front of me, I wouldn't even have the chance to perform in front of him."
"According to what you said, I'm still the Mayor. Why didn't you see me nervous?" Chen Xing joked.
"That's different. We've been friends for so many years. We've known each other since you were a leader's secretary. After so many years, we've gotten used to the way we used to get along in the past. Naturally, I won't be nervous." Wu Gang laughed.
Wu Gang's words were very honest. Chen Xing was also happy to hear it. With his current status, he didn't have many friends like ordinary people. Wu Gang was one, Zeng Jing was another, and Huang Ming was another. As for the rest of his classmates or friends, their friendship changed more or less because of the change of his status. Therefore, Chen Xing especially cherished this kind of friendship.
Pouring a glass of water for Wu Gang, Chen Xing said, "Wu Gang, you're under a lot of pressure when you take office in Zhaoliang this time. As the most backward county in the city, Zhaoliang hasn't made much progress in recent years. Its economic ranking is always at the bottom. Therefore, as the new County Magistrate, you're shouldering the heavy responsibility of economic development. You can't have the mentality that you don't want to make mistakes. You must make achievements. This is the task I've given you, and it's also the expectation of the city.
Chen Xing, don't worry. This time, I'm going with the mentality of reform and change. Zhaoliang County is just like Kaiyuan County a few years ago. In the past, I was only the Deputy County Magistrate, and I didn't have the opportunity to do things according to my own ideas. This time, in Zhaoliang, I have the opportunity to implement and verify some of my ideas of economic development. I definitely won't be willing to be conservative. Even if you want me to be conservative, I won't do it. " Wu Gang laughed.
"Oh, according to what you said, Zhaoliang County has become your experimental field." Chen Xing laughed. "However, whether it's an experimental field or not, as long as you can produce results, I will support you with both hands."
"It's not enough to just support you verbally. Chen Xing, when the time comes, you have to give our Zhaoliang more practical support, be it policies or funds. Otherwise, even the cleverest housewife can't cook without rice. You can't just ask me to work hard without giving me any support." Wu Gang laughed.
"Look at you. You haven't even officially taken office, but you're already saying 'our Zhaoliang …'." You're obviously thinking of yourself as a Zhaoliang person. But this is good. It means that you're starting to get into your role now. I'm looking forward to your reaction in Zhaoliang. " Chen Xing smiled slightly. "As for support, it depends on your performance. I won't support Zhaoliang County just because of our special relationship. If I really do that, the other counties and cities will be in chaos."
Hearing Chen Xing's words, Wu Gang smiled knowingly. Chen Xing was the mayor of a city. Of course, he could also understand that Chen Xing had to adhere to the appropriate principles.
After chatting for a while, Chen Xing looked at the time and said, "I won't talk to you anymore today. I have to go to the Municipal Party Committee. Before you go to Zhaoliang County to take office, let's find another opportunity to have a meal."
As he spoke, Chen Xing thought of how busy he was during this period before the New Year, and how he spent most of his time in the counties and villages under his jurisdiction. He couldn't help shaking his head. "Actually, during this period before the New Year, I may not even have the time to have a meal together. But when you go to take office, you will be accompanied by the officials of the Organization Department, so I don't have to worry too much."
They talked as they went downstairs. This scene fell into the eyes of some observant people, who were somewhat surprised. There were many leaders of counties and municipal departments going in and out of the Municipal Government. Some of them naturally recognized Wu Gang, the deputy director of the Water Conservancy Bureau. At this moment, when they saw Wu Gang and Chen Xing walking together and seemed to be very close, they were naturally very surprised.
Wu Gang and Chen Xing parted ways in the courtyard of the Municipal Government. Chen Xing took a car to the Municipal Party Committee, while Wu Gang returned to the Water Conservancy Bureau. His days in the Water Conservancy Bureau had also entered the countdown. Now he was just handing over his work, and he would take office in Zhaoliang County in two days. These days, every time he saw the way Director Liang Tianfeng looked at him, Wu Gang felt very happy. In the past, Liang Tianfeng was always unhappy with him and deliberately made trouble for him. Perhaps, Liang Tianfeng would never think that there would be a day when he could turn over a new leaf.
If it was in the past, Wu Gang would inevitably show off in front of Liang Tianfeng to anger the old bastard. But now that he had become the county head, Wu Gang was in a good mood and his thoughts were clear. He felt that it would be meaningless to do that, and it would make him seem petty. Moreover, Liang Tianfeng was also in trouble recently. The matter of illegal fishing fees at Yanshan Lake had been traced back to him. Wu Gang did not know if this was due to Chen Xing's instructions, but it could be a big or small matter. It all depended on how much Liang Tianfeng was involved in. If it involved financial issues, then Liang Tianfeng would really be in trouble. Wu Gang felt that there was no need for him to add insult to injury. As the saying goes, the wheel of fortune turns. Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, and thirty years in the west. Wu Gang knew when to forgive and forget. Now that his luck had turned, there was no need to compete with Liang Tianfeng.
When Chen Xing arrived at the Municipal Party Committee, Fu Jianjia was meeting a guest in his office. His secretary, Zhong Yiqian, could only apologetically ask Chen Xing to wait for a moment. This wait lasted for about ten minutes, until a middle-aged woman walked out of Fu Jianjia's office. Chen Xing saw that the woman looked very unfamiliar, so he took a second look at her. He was quite curious. If he remembered correctly, there was no such person among the cadres in the city, including the main leaders of the districts and counties.
Chen Xing did not recognize the woman, but the woman seemed to recognize Chen Xing. She stopped for a moment, nodded to Chen Xing with a smile, and then left.
