Chapter Thirty-Four: Qi Xiao Nan's Older Brother

  Deputy Director Mao Renguang was very concerned about Chen Gong. For this matter, he even specially contacted Chen Gong to confirm that they also wanted to come and compete in Qinghe Town, and he was very happy in his heart. Young people, after all, need to have a pioneering spirit. Failure is not a big deal; if you don't dare to try, then that's the biggest failure.

  Mao Renguang had been a leader for so long, of course he had a strong grasp on the direction of policies, so he made a phone call and asked the government office staff to bring him the materials of Qinghe Town for identification.

  Ning's quiet and powerful writing skills and expression are indeed very strong. After reading the report, Mao Ren felt that if it were really like what was written, then it would definitely be a good fight. He also knew that Qinghe Town had too shallow a foundation, and no matter how beautiful things looked on paper, they would definitely be a mess in reality. Anyway, leaving a good impression on leaders is always necessary.

  Huang Zhengming roughly browsed through the six documents on the table, and found that there was no Qinghe Town among them. He thought to himself: "How could Chen Gong have missed this? I originally thought he was a young man who dared to take risks, but it seems he didn't even try to seize such a great opportunity." As for the other three towns, they probably had some small industrial parks or were located in areas with steep terrain, which were special cases.

  A knock at the door came, Huang Zhengming leaned back in his boss chair, "Come in."

  Song Huiyun walked quickly to the desk, "Secretary, there are several bureau leaders who have been transferred from outside, please sign for them, and we will handle the formalities."

  Huang Zhengming looked at the documents that needed to be signed, and since these trivial matters required Song Huiyun to personally come find him, he asked about her intentions.

  Song Huiyun smiled and said, "Secretary, Chen Gong from Qinghe has been doing a good job recently. He discusses many issues with the town's comrades and handles them well. The town's work is now fully capable of being handled, and the road repairs the other day also show that he is a daring and hardworking person. I was thinking, shouldn't we consider removing the 'acting' from his title as acting mayor?" Song Huiyun knew that Huang Zhengming had no bad impression of Chen Gong, so she spoke frankly.

  Huang Zhengming did not respond immediately after hearing this. If Qinghe Town submits the materials of Shenbao Industrial Park and they are very convincing, he will definitely consider it. "Minister Song, don't rush, let's observe for another half a year or a year. Comrade Chen Gong is still too young, let him temper himself a bit more, be more calm in handling affairs and mentality, then we can study this again. Is there anything else?"

  Song Huiyun listened and knew that Huang Zhengming was not considering Chen Gong for the time being, how could this be? Last week's meeting still mentioned Comrade Chen Gong's great use, what happened in just a few days? Song Huiyun pondered to herself.

  Huang Zhengming also saw that Song Huiyun would not give up if she didn't understand, and even if she didn't ask in detail today, she would still come to pester herself with questions later. So he simply told Song Huiyun the reason.

  Song Huiyun listened and became even more confused, last time on the phone Chen Gong said that this time would be declared, and some materials were already available. "Secretary Huang, will it be in preparation, not yet reported, or should we wait another day?"

  "What are they waiting for? Other towns have submitted on time, why do they need an extra day? Unacceptable. I'm very disappointed in Chen Gong." Huang Zhengming also expressed his attitude directly.

  Song Huiyun tried to help Chen Gong, so she continued to "educate" Huang Zhengming, "Secretary, you know that Comrade Chen Gong is quite good. I told him a few months ago about the new bridge in the industrial park, and he was able to go to the province to raise funds with a thick face. It's actually for building the main road and laying the foundation for the declaration. So I think there must be some hidden reason. Let me contact Chen Gong immediately." Before Huang Zhengming could express his thoughts, Song Huiyun had already taken out her phone and stood at the door of the secretary's office.

  When Chen Gong found out that there was no declaration form from Qinghe Town on Huang Zhengming's desk, he was so angry that he almost jumped up. Which bastard is playing tricks on me again? Chen Gong felt that it was difficult for him to do things, and someone always made trouble. This time, it should be Wang Guoqiang, that little rascal, who was playing tricks behind his back.

  Chen Gong immediately told Song Huiyun that Qinghe not only declared, but also prepared a lot of detailed materials. After hanging up the phone, Chen Gong asked Director Luo Qingguo of the Party and Government Office if the documents sent to the district government had been signed for receipt. The answer was no. Chen Gong felt that the Party and Government Office should also be reformed, as even this small matter was flawed. If the district couldn't find the declaration materials, then Qinghe Town could only be treated as if they hadn't declared. Now Chen Gong had a secret idea to replace Luo Qingguo with his trusted aide Li Fenghua.

  "Secretary Huang, I told you Chen Gong must have come from the newspaper office. I asked him and he did a lot of work for this declaration. I think someone is playing tricks." Song Huiyun also gained confidence in talking to Huang Zhengming, and the fact proved that Huang Zhengming was indeed wrong about Chen Gong.

  Huang Zhengming also felt a bit guilty, almost misunderstanding a good comrade. But who has the guts to take away my materials? Not wanting to think about it, he let Song Huiyun investigate if there was anything improper. After all, she is from the district committee. Thinking back and forth, he still called Vice District Chief Mao Renguang for help to investigate this matter.

  Mao Renguang's reflection was even stronger, "Isn't that right, Secretary? How did this happen? The original manuscript of Qinghe materials is in my hands, I'm looking at it now. Who is so shameless? Hmm? Could it be because I took it away, so the copy sent to the district committee office was one less? In that case, Secretary, I'll immediately make a photocopy and personally deliver it to your office." Due to the uncertainty of the timing, Mao Renguang thought it was possible that he had taken away the original, resulting in one fewer copies being made, and he also blamed himself.

  Mao Renguang felt guilty, so he told Chen Gong about it over the phone. Chen Gong also thought this matter was strange, although he verbally acknowledged that it was a mistake and told Mao Renguang it didn't matter as long as the application materials were there, but in his heart, he knew that such a coincidence wouldn't happen in this world - would the government print several copies of the materials for the leaders to confuse them?

  Mao Renguang respectfully came to Huang Zhengming's office and saw Song Huiyun inside, "Secretary, may I come in?"

  Huang Zhengming and Mao Renguang's conversation was also heard by Song Huiyun, who was very unhappy in her heart. Mao Renguang had almost ruined Chen Gong's year of hard work. Since Mao Renguang didn't enter the Standing Committee, he was naturally half a head shorter than Song Huiyun. When Mao Renguang walked in and greeted Minister Song at the same time, Song Huiyun immediately turned her head away.

  Huang Zhengming looked at the application materials sent by Qinghe and said to the two, "Alright, this matter is clear now. Secretary Song shouldn't be angry anymore. Mayor Mao also cares about Qinghe and Comrade Chen Gong." With that, after finishing the industrial park's affairs, Chen Gong removed the word "agent".

  Song Huiyun heard Huang Zhengming say this, and then restored her smile. "Secretary Huang is meticulous, oh, the document has just been signed, I'll go out first, you guys talk slowly."

  After Song Huiyun left, Huang Zhengming and Mao Renguang chatted about these materials. After their analysis, although the application materials of Qinghe and Luohetown were exaggerated, the fact was that the opportunity was too small. The most likely place is Lishan Town, which has good infrastructure, a good investment environment, convenient transportation, and its economic foundation ranks first among all towns.

  Chen Gong ordered Zhang Zhuli and Ning Wenjing, due to time constraints, the main road could not be completed on schedule. Zhang Zhuli guaranteed that the research team would arrive earlier, and the prototype of the main road must be presented, with quality assured. Meanwhile, Ning Wenjing went to three villages to ensure that the villagers' work was done well, and absolutely no chaos was allowed; all phenomena of disorder and filth in the village were eliminated.

  Chen Gong knew that Mao Renguang, the district head, cared about him and Qinghe Town, so he made a phone call to ask for help. He wanted to know if it was possible to put Qinghe as the last stop of the research team's visit, as their road construction and village renovation work still needed some time. After Mao Renguang reported Chen Gong's request to Huang Zhengming, he replied to Chen Gong that under the requirements of Yuan District Head and Liu District Head, Luohetown was the last stop, but Qinghe could be arranged as the second-to-last stop. Chen Gong was already very happy with this reply and kept thanking Mao Renguang.

  Today, the Xin Qiao District Party Government hung banners everywhere, with a festive atmosphere. The banners read: "Welcome to the Municipal Garden District Research Group Leaders to inspect our district."

  Some leaders in the second row who didn't know the truth asked, "Do you know who is leading the research team?" It seems they asked the right person. Next to him stood Qu Xianan, Director of the Construction Bureau, "It's the Director of Fuhai City Development and Reform Commission, he will be promoted to Vice Mayor soon." Qu Xianan smiled in his heart, that's my brother - Qu Ziwai.

  As a peer of Qi Ziwei, Huang Zhengming and Yuan Weihua also came to the government gate this time. After all, they are from above, and this task is very important. Plus, Qi Ziwei's future is still bright, so everyone has to come and show their support. In order to show importance for this inspection work, the district specially arranged for the public security department to send a police car to open the way.

  Several members of the Standing Committee stood in a row, Huang Zhengming, Yuan Weihua, He Fei, Li Mo, Zhao Yanli, Song Huiyun, Wu Xiaobing, Liu Yadong...

  As the alarm sounded from far to near, two sedans and a Toyota business car stopped at the government gate. Many onlookers cast curious glances, wondering which leader had arrived, as it was common for several to come every now and then.

  Huang Zhengming stepped forward, grasping the hand of a middle-aged man who had just gotten out of the sedan. "Director Qi, welcome! It's been a while since you've visited our Xinqiao. This time we must treat you well."

  "Qizi Wei is a practical person. 'Secretary Huang, let's put the reception aside for now and focus on the main task. We've already booked our accommodations, so you don't need to worry about that. Let's head straight to the large conference room. Our research team will review the written materials first, and starting tomorrow, we'll visit each township one by one.'"

  Secretary Huang introduced the Standing Committee members to Qiziwei and then led everyone to the conference hall.

  Yuan Weihua personally briefed the research team on the basic situation of the seven towns, while Liu Yadong stood by, his mind uneasy. How did Qinghe Town get reported again? I clearly pulled it out from inside, but couldn't figure out why.

  After listening to the report, Qi Ziwei let the leadership of Xin Qiao go about their business, leaving only two people who were familiar with the situation, and then looked at the detailed materials together with the research team.

  Two hours later, after finishing reading the materials, a research team staff member stood up and said, "Director Qi, only Qinghe Town mentioned both the advantages and disadvantages of their town in the materials. The other six towns only reflected the good aspects in their materials and didn't mention any shortcomings. I think most of the towns are not being honest."

  Qizi Wei stood up, "Yes, seeking truth from facts, this way we can weigh the pros and cons, make something real for the municipal leaders to see. Tomorrow I went to the town, one by one to comment on them, simply not honest. Qinghe Town did leave me a good impression."

  Actually, before Qi Ziwai came to Xin Qiao, he had already contacted his younger brother Qi Xiaonan. Although Qi Xiaonan was already in the district, he still had feelings for Qinghe Town and also had a deep relationship with the current deputy mayor Ning Wenjing, so he would help if he could, anyway, Qi Xiaonan basically didn't understand other towns.

  Qizi Wei said this, also hinting at the other members of the investigation team. Qinghe Town is still okay, after all, getting recognized by everyone in the group and being recognized by only one person has a different effect.
