After leaving Wang Dongchen's office, the smile on Chen Xing's face gradually disappeared. Both the province and the city had received the funds one after another. Yet, the County Finance Bureau didn't report to him, but only to Wang Dongchen. It would be strange if Chen Xing didn't have any thoughts about this. The director of the County Finance Bureau was Lu Ping. Chen Xing recalled the few times he met Lu Ping and frowned slightly. Lu Ping didn't leave a deep impression on him. After all, they didn't have any in-depth contact. But this time, Chen Xing was undoubtedly dissatisfied with Lu Ping. It seemed that Lu Ping didn't put him, the acting County Head, in his eyes.
Both the official hat and the money bag are in Wang Dongchen's hands. Even if I become the acting County Head, my work in the future won't be easy. Chen Xing thought to himself. In the field of organization and personnel, Wang Dongchen had a firm control over it. It would be very difficult for him to interfere. As for the financial power, it could be seen from Lu Ping, the director of the Finance Bureau. Lu Ping only listened to Wang Dongchen's orders. As for him, as the acting County Head, he might not be able to order Lu Ping, the director of the Finance Bureau.
Chen Xing walked back to his office with a heavy heart. After meeting with Wang Dongchen for a while, Chen Xing's good mood suddenly disappeared. When he thought of Wang Dongchen probing him about Yuan Jiang, Chen Xing's brows furrowed even tighter. Yuan Jiang's accident had caused him to lose a lot of support in the city.
The next day, early in the morning, Chen Xing went to the countryside accompanied by his secretary, He Qi, and the deputy director of the county government office, Wang Zhong. Chen Xing was very interested in the waterfall and other natural landscapes mentioned by He Qi. The tourism industry was also a sunrise industry, and it was an environmentally friendly industry. The economic development of a place had to adapt to local conditions, give full play to its regional advantages and characteristics, and find the most suitable economic development path for the local situation. If Xi Men County really had rich tourism resources that could be excavated, it would be worth a try.
Chen Xing had originally made a plan for himself. He planned to use one month to visit all the villages and towns under Xi Gate to get a thorough understanding of the actual situation of Xi Gate. Only by doing it in practice could he find a way. Only by truly understanding the situation of Xi Gate could he have a clear goal. Chen Xing not only wanted political achievements, but also wanted to do something practical instead of staying in the position of acting county magistrate for a long time. When he had enough time, he would use his connections to get promoted.
Secretary He, what is the film crew that came to Xi Men County to shoot scenes? When they were sitting in the car, Chen Xing turned his head and asked He Qi with great interest.
It seems to be the film crew that shot the film "Migrant Workers Go to the City". This time, it's the same film company that came to Xi Men last time. I heard that they are going to shoot another theme TV series called "College Student Village Official". He Qi said with a smile.
"It turns out to be the same company. No wonder there is a film company shooting a film in Xi Men County." Chen Xing smiled. "If they want to shoot a film in Xi Men County, as long as the conditions permit, we can try our best to support them. If the TV series they shoot becomes popular, it will also indirectly promote Xi Men County. Compared with advertising on TV, it will save a lot of advertising fees. I think this business is very cost-effective."
Seeing that Chen Xing was enjoying himself, He Qi and Wang Zhong looked at each other and echoed Chen Xing's words. They also laughed. In their eyes, Chen Xing did not have any airs of a leader at all. Now that they had understood a little about Chen Xing's character, they also appeared quite relaxed in front of him.
When the car left the town, it began to jolt. Driving on the bumpy dirt road, the car was like riding a roller coaster, rising and falling, shaking people from their seats from time to time. Chen Xing grabbed the seat, turned his head to look at the dirt road outside the window, and shook his head slightly. This kind of low and uneven dirt road had basically disappeared in Hai City. Several districts in the city, including several economically developed counties and cities, had already achieved the goal of having roads in every village. Cement roads could be paved to the door of every household. Before Chen Xing worked in the Political Research Office of the Municipal Party Committee, he had been to all the counties and cities under Hai City, so he knew this situation very well. It was rare to see roads as bad as Xi Men County. It was no wonder that the economy of Xi Men County ranked second last among the counties and cities in Hai City. From the traffic situation in Xi Men County, it could be seen that the development of traffic was related to the economic development of a place. Xi Men County's traffic was backward, so the economic development of this place could be seen.
It was fine when it didn't rain these days, but if it rained, it would be really difficult to drive on this kind of dirt road. There were puddles everywhere, and when the car drove down, it was like driving out of a swamp. At this time, the driver, Zhang Min, said with a smile. As a driver, he had obviously encountered this kind of situation many times.
Yes, the traffic situation in our Xi Men County is a little bad. It is a difficult project for Xi Men to improve this situation. Our neighboring counties and cities have already achieved the goal of having roads in every village. I don't know how long it will take for our Xi Men County to achieve this goal. Chen Xing sighed. Thinking of the county's tight financial situation, he could only smile helplessly. If the county had money, it would be better to invest a large amount of money to build roads. The problem was that the county did not have money. If they wanted to build roads on a large scale, there would be no way to pay for it.
County Magistrate, one of the key factors restricting the economic development of our Xi Men County is the backwardness of traffic. Now, everywhere is shouting the slogan "To develop, build roads first", but our county has never taken this seriously. If the county attaches importance to it, there will always be a way, no matter how tight the financial situation is. Wang Zhong glanced at Chen Xing and couldn't help but say what was in his heart. Since Wang Zhong served as the deputy director of the county government office, he had personally experienced a lot. Whether it was the former County Magistrate Chang Yong or the later County Magistrate Lee Zheng, none of them really took road building seriously. Even if it was traced back to the previous leaders, road building had never really been taken seriously in the annual financial budget of Xi Men County. Wang Zhong knew this very well.
Director Wang, you're not in charge, so you don't know how expensive daily necessities are. There are so many things that the county has to do every year, but we can only count on the little financial revenue. After all, the support from the higher-ups is limited, and our county's financial budget is also very poor. If we miss today, there will be no tomorrow. Chen Xing shook his head with a smile and glanced at Wang Zhong. After all, Wang Zhong had put forward a positive point of view. Chen Xing didn't want to dampen Wang Zhong's enthusiasm, so he added, "But what you said is also reasonable. There is nothing difficult in the world, only those who set their minds to it. Sometimes, difficulties are one thing, but whether one is willing to do it or not is another."
The car fell into a brief silence. Chen Xing once again thought of Lu Ping, the director of the county's finance department. Lu Ping only listened to Wang Dongchen's orders, but Chen Xing had to think of a way to make Wang Dongchen listen to him. Otherwise, if Wang Dongchen didn't have access to either the official hat or the purse of money, how could he continue to be the acting county head? Sooner or later, he would become a commander without an army.
After nearly an hour of bumpy driving, Chen Xing finally arrived at the waterfall that He Qi had mentioned. To Chen Xing's surprise, there was already a big van parked in front of them. In front of the van, there were some men and women chatting and laughing around the waterfall. From time to time, some people would even take out their phones and cameras to take pictures.
Strange, why is it so lively here today? He Qi looked at the people in front of him in surprise. He then looked at Chen Xing and Wang Zhong with a face full of doubts.
This meant that the scenery here was beautiful. Otherwise, these people wouldn't have taken such a difficult mountain road to come here. Chen Xing replied with a smile. As he lifted his head to look at the waterfall, he could not help but gasp in admiration. He Qi's words yesterday were not exaggerated at all. The height of the waterfall was indeed not low.
Chen Xing turned around and looked at the scenery around the waterfall. He climbed up a big rock and looked at the waterfall from a close distance. Chen Xing couldn't help but sigh at the magic of nature.
County Head, I think the scenery here is really not worse than some famous scenic spots. I'm a native of Xi Men, but I didn't even know there was such a place. Wang Zhong walked to Chen Xing's side. If this place could be built into a tourist area, it would definitely attract tourists.
Director Wang, you're thinking the same thing as me. Chen Xing smiled and patted Wang Zhong's shoulder. Before I came here, I was wondering if our Xi Men could develop tourism. Therefore, after hearing Secretary He's words, I thought of coming here to have a look. Today, I'm really not disappointed. It's a pity that this place is a little remote. If the transportation is convenient, it won't be a problem. The bad thing is that the transportation is not convenient, and it won't be easy to build this place into a scenic spot.
Yes, our county's finance is not rich. It's really difficult to invest a sum of money into this. Wang Zhong smiled bitterly when he heard Chen Xing's words.
