Two days later, Songshan Municipal Party Committee Secretary Zhou Yihong, accompanied by Taolin County Party Committee Secretary Luo Qiulin and other leaders, arrived at Dalong Town at nine in the morning. They began to investigate the town's twinning assistance and the results of the new village construction.
According to the investigation itinerary, Secretary Zhou and the other leaders listened to Li Weijun's brief report on the relevant situation. At around ten o 'clock, they drove to Lianhua Village, which was closest to the town government. They inspected the village's environmental sanitation, poverty alleviation, village economic development, living conditions, and other aspects of the village. They also checked the village's resident team's logs, records of their participation in the village's two committee meetings, suggestions for the village's economic development, and so on. At the same time, they also went to the village's two large cattle farms to investigate the situation. After that, they rushed to the next village …
According to Secretary Zhou's inspection itinerary, Huaguang Village should be the third village to receive the inspection. However, because Li Weijun was very angry with Lu Tao, he didn't want him to have the opportunity to meet the leaders. Moreover, he estimated that after Lu Tao was criticized by him the day before yesterday, he definitely wouldn't seriously prepare the materials for the inspection. If the leaders wanted to see the results of the resident team, they might cause a big mess.
Therefore, he simply directed the car to go around Huaguang Village and make a big circle to Meishan Village, which was west of Huaguang Village. Su Yaoguang, who was anxiously waiting at the entrance of the village for the leaders' inspection, was so angry that he fell backwards. He knew that this was Lu Tao's fault and wanted to slap him a few times. However, considering that the hundred thousand yuan from the local tax bureau hadn't been paid yet, he couldn't offend Lu Tao too much. He could only suppress the anger in his heart and stare hatefully at Lu Tao, who was waiting at the entrance of the village with him, before resentfully turning his head back to the village.
The village director, Su Xiancan, was more kind. Although he was very disappointed, he didn't show it to Lu Tao. He only sighed and said, "Officer Lu, Secretary Yaoguang wants our village to become the contact point for the new village construction of the county and city leaders. That way, we can fight for millions or even millions of yuan in aid every year. We also have the hope of being named as the model village for the new village construction of the entire province. In order to win the support of the town's leaders, we spent ten to twenty thousand yuan treating them to meals in the past two months.
"Originally, Secretary Li and Mayor Huang had already agreed to arrange for the leaders to come to our village for lunch this afternoon, giving us a chance to win over Secretary Zhou. Who would have thought that you would talk back to Secretary Li in front of everyone at the town meeting the day before yesterday and angered him? At that time, he was furious with us and said that as long as you stayed in the village, he wouldn't even set half a foot in the village. Look, he really did what he said he would do. Just now, he commanded the convoy to bypass our Huaguang Village and go to the next stop. Sigh — — "
Lu Tao didn't have much interest in meeting the leader, but when he saw Su Xiancan sigh, he felt a little upset. He could only say, "Director Su, I'm really sorry. When I talked back to Li Weijun the day before yesterday, I didn't know that it would have such a negative impact on the village. If I had known that Li Weijun was such a vile person, I might have endured it. However, even if Secretary Zhou and the other leaders came to the village for a meal today, Huaguang Village might not be able to become Secretary Zhou's contact point, right? You can tell Yao Guang Secretary that I called our bureau's Party Secretary the day before yesterday, and he agreed to propose to the bureau's Party Committee to increase the aid funds for your village. Even if it's only a hundred thousand yuan increase, it will still be a substantial benefit to your village, right? "
When Su Xiancan heard that the Local Taxation Bureau had agreed to increase the aid funds, his eyes lit up. He quickly thanked him and said, "Thank you, Officer Lu. If your bureau can increase the aid funds by a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand yuan, Yao Guang Secretary will definitely be very happy. I'll tell him the good news right away."
After parting ways with Su Xiancan, Lu Tao was bored, so he strolled to the east side of the village. After walking for two to three kilometers, he arrived at the road connecting Huaguang Village and Meishan Village. He stopped and looked at Meishan Village's office building in the east. It turned out that Huaguang Village, Meishan Village, and Stone Keng Village in the south were all very small villages. They were close to each other in a triangular shape, so when strolling, they would often reach another village after walking for a short distance.
At this time, there were many cars parked in front of Meishan Village's office building, but there wasn't a single person in sight. Secretary Zhou and the others were probably listening to reports and checking information at the village office.
On the right side of the cement road where Lu Tao was standing, there was a clear stream. There were willow trees planted on both sides of the stream. Under the gentle breeze, the willow branches danced lightly and fluttered. The cicadas in the shade of the willow trees kept chirping. There were also some unknown birds jumping and chirping on the willow branches. The scenery was very pleasant.
It had been a long time since Lu Tao had the leisure to enjoy this kind of village scenery. He thought that since he had nothing to do now, he found a very clean rock under a willow tree and sat down. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and began to leisurely enjoy the cool air and the scenery.
Around eleven o 'clock, Lu Tao heard a clamor coming from Meishan Village in the east. He quickly stood up and saw that the cars had already started and were starting to drive over here.
Lu Tao was at a fork in the road. The east led to Meishan Village, the west led to Huaguang Village, and the south led to Stone Keng Village. At this moment, the cars were coming over. Lu Tao guessed that they were preparing to go to Stone Keng Village to continue their research, so he stood on the side of the road and watched the cars pass by him.
However, when the fourth car passed by him, the driver suddenly slowed down. After driving forward for about twenty meters, he slowly stopped. The two cars behind him also quickly stopped.
While Lu Tao was surprised, he saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses and carrying a briefcase get out from the passenger seat of the car parked in front of him. He walked straight to him and asked politely with a smile on his face, "May I know your name, please? Which village are you from? "
Lu Tao saw that his attitude was very friendly, so he quickly replied, "My name is Lu Tao. I'm a staff member of the Taolin County Local Taxation Bureau in Huaguang Village. Are you looking for me?"
"Nothing, nothing. I'm just asking."
The middle-aged man reached out and shook Lu Tao's hand. He then said that he was sorry to disturb him, turned around, and returned to the car. After closing the door, the car started again and headed in the direction of Stone Keng Village, leaving Lu Tao standing there with a confused look. He thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the intention of the person who got out of the car.
