The cars drove on the road. Two cars with Municipal Government license plates drove from the city center to the suburbs. In the car at the back, familiar people could recognize that it was Mayor Chen Xing's seat at a glance. At this moment, in the back seat of the car, in addition to Chen Xing, there was also a face full of youthful vigor and vitality. It was a young and beautiful woman. The woman kept talking to Chen Xing while excitedly looking out the window. This was her first time in Nanzhou, so the woman was obviously very curious about everything here. Her mouth never stopped talking.
Great Mayor, where are we going now? Are we going for an inspection? The young woman suddenly turned her head to look at Chen Xing. Her face was full of anticipation. It seemed that she couldn't wait to inspect with Chen Xing.
If you can keep your mouth shut, I'll tell you where to go. Chen Xing looked out the window, wishing he could plug his ears with earplugs. The woman next to him was Song Zhi. He didn't know when this little girl had applied for a direct flight from the capital to Nanzhou. Today, when he was about to leave, he received a call from Song Zhi saying that she had already arrived in Nanzhou. In any case, she didn't know the way, her eyes were blank, and she didn't have a single cent on her. If Chen Xing could bear to see her starve to death on the road outside the airport, then there was no need to pick her up. This made Chen Xing not know whether to laugh or cry. He could only ask the driver to turn around and go to the airport to pick her up first.
I saw that no one was talking in the car, so I wanted to liven up the atmosphere. Say, three grown men sitting together without saying a word, how boring is that? If it wasn't for the sake of making the car look a little more lively, I wouldn't waste my energy talking. Song Zhi said proudly. Facing Chen Xing, the Mayor of Nanzhou, Song Zhi didn't feel the slightest bit of pressure. She was still the same when talking to Chen Xing. She spoke whatever she wanted, and joked as she always did.
Li Yong, who was driving, and Huang Jianghua, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, both raised their eyebrows when they heard Song Zhi's words. Who was this woman? How dare she speak so casually to Chen Xing? Both of them smiled bitterly. It seemed that the other party didn't know the rules at all. If there was nothing important, would the driver and secretary dare to speak casually when the leader was sitting in the car?
No one forced you to speak. You can save some energy, or you'll really faint from hunger later. Chen Xing rolled his eyes. He didn't speak, so Li Yong and Huang Jianghua didn't dare to speak, for fear of disturbing him, unless there was something to report. Song Zhi, on the other hand, didn't stop talking the moment she got in the car. Chen Xing almost wanted to throw her onto the road.
Hmph, fortunately, you still have a little conscience. I thought you wouldn't pick me up. I was going to sleep on the floor next to the airport at night. I didn't expect you to really go. It seems that I have a place to eat and sleep tonight. Song Zhi raised her beautiful little face, like a proud little swan, and her eyes were full of smiles.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have picked you up. I'd like to see if you really know how to sleep on the floor. Chen Xing smiled.
Great Mayor, I didn't lie to you. Except for some daily necessities in my small suitcase, I really didn't bring a penny. If you didn't go, I really would have to sleep on the floor. Song Zhi said with a serious face.
Well, since I've picked you up, I won't argue with you now. I have to work during the day. Why do you follow me? Isn't it better if I take you to the hotel? You fly in the sky every day. It's rare for you to have a day off. Don't you need to take a good rest? Chen Xing shook his head helplessly. He originally wanted to take Song Zhi directly to the hotel, but the little girl refused and insisted on following him. She said that she wanted to experience how the Mayor's day's work was arranged. Chen Xing had no choice but to take such a "burden" with him. Otherwise, Song Zhi wouldn't be in his car now.
It's so boring in the hotel. Besides, do you think we don't have rest when we fly in the sky? We have to have fun when we have a day off. Otherwise, we'll waste such a good time. Song Zhi curled her lips and said with a face full of regret, "It's a pity that Sister Ningning has returned to the capital. If I rest a few days earlier, I can have fun with Sister Ningning in Nanzhou.
I'm here to work, not to have fun. " Chen Xing corrected her.
"Humph, you can't have fun when you work. You must know how to strike a balance between work and rest, understand?" Song Zhi said casually. The conversation between her and Chen Xing had already made Li Yong and Huang Jianghua dumbfounded. They looked straight ahead and didn't dare to look back, constantly guessing Song Zhi's identity in their hearts. Huang Jianghua even secretly reminded himself that he had to serve this little devil well. Just now, Chen Xing asked him to book a hotel for Song Zhi and send Song Zhi there. However, Song Zhi insisted on following him, so he gave up. Huang Jianghua guessed that Chen Xing would definitely ask him to send Song Zhi to the hotel in the evening. Now, looking at the way Song Zhi and Chen Xing talked, Huang Jianghua thought that he had to satisfy this little devil. Otherwise, if she reported him to Chen Xing, as a secretary, Huang Jianghua might be criticized.
Chen Xing looked back at Song Zhi and almost wanted to give her a knock on the head, but he held it in. The driver and secretary were still sitting in front of him. Chen Xing had to pay attention to his image as a mayor.
The car in front stopped. Chen Xing ignored Song Zhi, knowing that they had arrived at the destination. The parked cars and people standing on the side should be people from the street office. Xiao Yuanqing, who was sitting in the car in front, got out of the car first and then walked quickly to Chen Xing's car. He was in a hurry to open the door for Chen Xing, but Chen Xing had already gotten out of the car.
Mayor, here we are. As Xiao Yuanqing and Chen Xing were talking, the people on the side had already come up to them. They were all the main leaders of the street office. They respectfully called Mayor Chen.
Let's go to the field and have a look. Chen Xing nodded lightly. He originally told Xiao Yuanqing not to inform the people in the district, but because Xiao Yuanqing dealt directly with the people of the street office when he was looking for the land, he inadvertently said that he would come to have a look in person. The people of the street office were particularly attentive and kept asking when he would come down. Xiao Yuanqing had to confirm the date and specially reported it to Chen Xing, but Chen Xing did not care too much.
Mayor Chen, most of the farmland was idle now. It belonged to Shuikou Village. Now there were not many people in the village who farmed. Many people had been out of poverty and became rich. Most of the farmland was abandoned. It was very suitable to use this farmland to build and install houses. Moreover, this farmland was by the road, and the transportation was convenient. It was only a ten-minute walk to the busy areas in the district. Chang Zhijian, the director of the street office, introduced it to Chen Xing with a bright smile on his face. For a small cadre like him, it was very rare to have such a close contact with the mayor.
As Chen Xing listened to the introduction, he had already looked around. The farmland was by the road. As Chang Zhijian said, most of the farmland had not been cultivated for a long time. It was full of weeds, and a small part of it was planted with some vegetables. Chen Xing silently calculated the time. It was about a 30-minute drive from the city center. This was the street office of Anshun District. It was not far from the city center, and the distance to several busy areas in the district was also very close. But in fact, this was already a rural area. To be exact, it was a suburban rural area.
Mayor, what do you think of this place? Xiao Yuanqing moved closer to Chen Xing and asked in a low voice. Chen Xing asked him to find a suitable place to build houses for the people of Big Head Village. He had been busy these days, but he did not forget about this matter. He went to many places and finally chose this place. In his opinion, this place was the best place he had seen. In addition to the convenient transportation, the key was that it was easy to acquire land here, which could save a lot of trouble. If they used the name of the government to acquire land from the villagers, it would not cost much to acquire this land.
Not bad, you have worked hard. Chen Xing nodded and gave affirmation to Xiao Yuanqing's work.
Mayor, Director Chang of the street office said that if it was confirmed to build houses here, the street office was not only responsible for the land acquisition, but also willing to bear the cost of the land acquisition. Xiao Yuanqing added another sentence.
Is that so? Chen Xing looked at Chang Zhijian who was beside him.
Mayor Chen, the matter of the cancer village is the pain of the whole city. The street office is also willing to do our part. When Chang Zhijian saw Chen Xing looking over, he hurriedly expressed his position. His attitude was very proper.
It was good that Director Chang had this intention. Chen Xing glanced at Chang Zhijian a few more times, and his impression of Chang Zhijian deepened. Chang Zhijian, who was beside him, was in high spirits as if he had been injected with chicken blood. Just because Chen Xing glanced at him a few more times, Chang Zhijian thought that his efforts were not in vain. As long as he could get a good impression from Chen Xing, it would be worth it.
If they used the name of the government to acquire land, one mu of land would only be compensated 20,000 yuan. Xiao Yuanqing had told him before that a few mu of land would be more than enough. If they acquired the entire land here, it would only be about a million yuan. For the street office, this amount of money could be squeezed out from the financial allocation given to the street office by their superiors. They could just reduce their expenses in other areas. Anyway, he was generous with others' money. He did not feel bad at all for using the government's money to fight for his own performance.
We are all from the same place, and the villagers of the cancer village are also our brothers and sisters. We should do what we can for them. Chang Zhijian said seriously.
Chen Xing nodded. He was very satisfied with Chang Zhijian's words. Xiao Yuanqing, who was beside him, secretly glanced at Chang Zhijian. He had been in contact with Chang Zhijian for the past few days, so they were more familiar with each other. Xiao Yuanqing thought to himself that Chang Zhijian really knew how to seize the opportunity to show off. He knew that Chen Xing attached great importance to the relocation of Big Head Village, but he did not mention it to Chang Zhijian. This time, Chang Zhijian was flattering him.
…
You officials are all better at flattering people than the other. On the way back, Song Zhi said to Chen Xing.
How dare you say that in front of me? Are you scolding me indirectly? Be careful, or I will make you go on the road at night. Chen Xing laughed and scolded him.
I'm not scolding you. I'm referring to those people just now. All of them are fighting to show off in front of you. They are closer to you than to their own parents. Their words give me goosebumps. I feel like throwing up after listening to them. Song Zhi said with an exaggerated expression. Although he was not standing beside Chen Xing, he was not far away. He could clearly see those people flattering and flattering in front of Chen Xing. That was why he said that.
You're obviously biased as a government official. Chen Xing said with a smile.
It's not that I am biased, but the truth is that officials like you are indeed not well-liked. Song Zhi said with a straight face. Now that the social conflicts are so intense, you guys have an unavoidable responsibility.
Tsk, so you are saying that officials have never done anything good? Chen Xing smiled helplessly. He couldn't argue with a girl.
I don't know whether they have done anything good or not. I'm just a commoner and don't care about so many things. Anyway, I only know that officials have power in their hands. Most of them seek personal benefits for themselves and their families. How many of them really want to do something for the common people? As for me, officials use their power to harm the common people.
Song Zhi, your remarks are too extreme. If I'm not wrong, this should be a one-sided impression you have of the cadres from the Internet or some incidental phenomena and hearsay. Chen Xing looked at Song Zhi seriously.
Song Zhi was startled by Chen Xing's suddenly serious face. He shrank his neck and glanced at the scene outside the window.
Inadvertently glancing at the scene outside the window, Song Zhi was stunned for a moment before pointing at Chen Xing. Mayor Chen, take a look outside. I'm not trying to smear your name or anything.
