Chapter 154: Meeting Jingyu Again

heng himself. 。He, too, was racing against time. He had to push forward the "Rural Prosperity Construction" project; only then could he be considered to have done something for the townspeople, and on...Xiao Jingyu was taken aback. Why would the mayor of Hongshi personally intervene in this matter Was it because the leaders of the provincial inspection team had directly informed the main leaders of the city Or had Secretary Liu Qingwei, the head of the municipal organization department, reported back to the mayor after returningXiao Jingyu had been in Jingzhou for some time. During meetings and interactions, he could sense that Mayor Hong was a serious and meticulous leader. Some lower-level officials who tried to gloss over things before him were often exposed directly. 。So, hearing the mayor directly ask like that over the phone, Xiao Jingyu didn't dare to speak too confidently. 。She replied, “Mayor, the town is doing everything it can to find a solution, and our county is also studying the matter, striving to handle things properly within the timeframe set by Director Gu.” 。Xiao Jingyu's answer did not say that there was a solution to this matter, nor did it say that there was absolutely no solution. Instead, it emphasized that both the county and town levels attach great importance to 。Macro said, "I think Xiao Jingyu's answer is quite good. I'd give him an 80. But Macro still pressed, "When will your solution be ready Don't wait until the last day! Xiao Shuji, Gu team leader is very strict. If you can't deliver on what you promised, it's not just a matter of pausing your work. It will also affect the inspection team's evaluation of Mirror Prefecture's work. You need to think this through carefully." 。Xiao Jingyu understood. The mayor was worried that if this matter wasn't handled well, it would negatively impact the city's scientific development concept activities and affect the province's performance evaluation of Jingshi City. 。Jingzhou City's economic status in Jiangzhong Province has been rather unoptimistic in recent years. Opportunities for promotion of major leaders in Jingzhou City are not as plentiful compared to large cities and strong cities. 。So, when the leaders of Jingzhou City are inspected or assessed by the provincial government, they become very sensitive and obedient. They do everything they can to be good and avoid any trouble. They focus on positive things when there's nothing going wrong. 。Xiao Jingyu, having understood the mayor's psychological needs, said: "Mayor, I understand what you mean, we will deal with this matter as soon as possible." 。"However, Hong Xu was still not at ease: “I heard that Old Gu gave you four days..." 。"But we can't really wait until the last day, so how about this: if you don't have a solution by tomorrow morning, I'll come over!"

Xiao Jingyu knew Mayor Hong's style. Since he said that, it was probably impossible to stop him from coming. He immediately agreed: "Alright, Mayor Hong, we will try our best to come up with an effective solution within these two days." 。After hanging up the phone, Xiao Jingyu continued the meeting, but he was clearly not fully present as he went over the tasks at hand. 。The issues that leaders care about are the important ones. 。Now, regarding the employment issue of miners in rural mining transportation, it has not only become a concern for Group Leader Gu but also a concern for Mayor Hong Xu. 。If things go wrong, the next step is that the municipal party secretary might even call. It's really hard to say. 。Xiao Jingyu shortened the meeting time and, after returning to her office, called Li Haiyan over: "Little Li, you asked Xiao Zheng last time if they had any solutions. He said they were still researching" Li Haiyan replied: "Yes, Ms. Xiao, they are researching specific measures..." 。Xiao Jingyu said: "You ask Xiao Zheng to come over tonight." 。I am waiting for him in the office. 。Li Haiyan agreed: “Okay” 。I'll contact you right away. 。Li Haiyan saw Xiao Jingyu answering a phone call in the meeting room. His expression became serious at that moment, it seemed like he was under pressure from his superiors. 。Li Haiyan went back to the office and called Xiao Zheng, asking him to come to Xiao Shu's office in the evening. 。Xiao Zheng asked, “Haiyan, did Xiao Shujì say what it was about” Li Haiyan said, “He didn't say specifically. I guess it must be about the employment issue of miners' transportation workers.” 。Xiao Zheng was also getting a headache. He agreed to this, but he really hadn't thought of a specific solution yet. 。Xiao Zheng wasn't without ways to think about it. 。This morning, Guan Wenwei also called Xiao Zheng over, and together with Gao Zhengping, they discussed. 。Everyone went through each business in town, trying to figure out which ones could accommodate these transportation workers. But the result was that Tianhuang Town itself was primarily based on stone mining. The slightly larger businesses were all involved in stone mining, and now they had all stopped. 。Most businesses in town that deal with bamboo or agricultural products are small enterprises or individual proprietorships. They find it difficult to survive, let alone hire more workers. Moreover, these transport workers have high salary expectations. 。After a morning's work, there were no results. 。At noon, Xiao Zheng couldn't stay in the office. He ran to the mine in Fengqixu Village to check on the situation and look for some inspiration. 。One mine was not only dug flat, but because the rock layer extended downwards, the mine continued to be excavated downwards, resulting in a huge "sinkhole". 。Xiao Zheng stood at the edge, looking down. It felt like more than ten stories deep. Within a radius of several miles, falling down would definitely result in being crushed to pieces. 。Xiao Zheng sighed inwardly, wondering how much soil it would take to fill this bottomless pit.

Then Li Haiyan's phone call came, inviting Xiao Zheng to go to Xiao Shuji's office in the evening. 。Xiao Zheng told Guan Wenwei about this. Guan Wenwei said, "Comrade Xiao, I'll go with you. If we get criticized, we'll bear it together." 。"Director Guan, I'll go by myself first. It's not necessarily that I'll be criticized," Xiao Zheng said. 。Besides, Mayor Guan, you are currently in charge of the work. This is a crucial time, and it's best not to give the secretary a bad impression. 。< If there's any problem, I'll take responsibility for it. After all, this is my fault. > 。。That evening, Xiao Zheng didn't even have dinner and went straight to the county party committee building. 。Li Haiyan was waiting for Xiao Zheng in the office. When she saw him, instead of taking him straight into Xiao Shujie's office, she left her office door slightly ajar and asked, "Commissioner Xiao, do you have a concrete plan to solve the problem of workers transporting from the mine"

At this juncture, Xiao Zheng couldn't lie to her any longer, so he answered truthfully: "Not yet" 。"Li Haiyan frowned slightly: "Then what do you plan to do next" Xiao Zheng looked at Li Haiyan: "Take it one step at a time, Director Gu's deadline hasn't arrived yet." 。"Li Haiyan was a bit worried about Xiao Zheng, saying: "Today, Secretary Xiao might be under pressure from above. I think Commissioner Xiao should tell the truth later." 。Xiao Zheng was still worried that Li Haiyan might be angry with him for not telling the truth before, or might no longer trust him, but Li Haiyan didn't seem to. 。Xiao Zheng then asked, "Haiyan, I didn't tell the truth before. Don't you blame me" Li Haiyan smiled wryly and said, "I also know you had no choice..." 。And as for Master, I'm afraid I can never truly blame him in this life. 。This statement seems to carry a different meaning. 。

Xiao Zheng glanced at her again, Li Haiyan's cheeks flushed involuntarily. 。Xiao Zheng dared not look at her anymore, only saying: "I still have to go see Xiao Shuji and wait for the scolding." 。Li Haiyan said: “I’ve never heard Xiao Shuji scold anyone.” 。Xiao Zheng was taken aback and said, "Could it be that the first person in An County to be scolded by Xiao Shujì is me" Li Haiyan said, "If that's really the case, in a way, it's also an honor." 。“Well, I’ll treat you to a meal then,” 。Li Haiyan gave Xiao Zheng a slight white glance. Actually, she quite liked teasing him back and forth; it was very stress-relieving. 。But Xiao Shu was waiting for him in the office, and now that Xiao Zheng had arrived, she couldn't keep Xiao Shu waiting any longer, so she said: "I'll go in with you." 。"

good" 。"With that, Xiao Zheng followed Li Haiyan inside." 。Li Haiyan knocked on the door, and a gentle and pleasant voice from inside said: "Come in." 。The sound was quite pleasant to Xiao Zheng's ears, even making it difficult for him to connect such a soft voice with the county party secretary. 。Li Haiyan brought Xiao Zheng into the office. Xiao Jingyu walked out from behind his desk, glanced at Xiao Zheng, and asked: "Commissioner Xiao, have you had dinner yet" Xiao Zheng replied truthfully: "Not yet." 。"Xiao Jingyu said to Li Haiyan, "Haiyan, didn't we tell the canteen to make noodles Let's add a bowl for Commissioner Xiao too" Li Haiyan immediately replied, "Okay, I'll call right away." 。Xiao Zheng finished a bowl of noodles in Xiao Jingyu's office. 。This beef, bell pepper, pickled mustard greens, and dried bamboo shoot noodles has a generous portion and a tangy flavor. Even though it's early autumn, Xiao Zheng still broke out in a sweat after eating. 。After the meal, Li Haiyan cleaned up and brewed a pot of tea for the two of them. 。Xiao Zheng took a sip. It was rich with a lingering sweetness, quite different from the green tea he usually drank. Xiao Zheng didn't even know what kind of tea this was But given the circumstances today, he felt embarrassed to ask. 。Xiao Jingyu sat down on the black leather sofa, took a sip of tea, and then asked: "Commissioner Xiao, I just want to hear an honest answer from you today. Do you have any specific plans for the employment issue of those mine transportation workers"Xiao Jingyu stared at Xiao Zheng, his pupils were dark, almost reflecting Xiao Zheng's shadow back at him. 。Under such a gaze, Xiao Zheng couldn't feign ignorance. 。Actually, Xiao Zheng didn't intend to brush things off this time. He just wanted to tell Xiao Jingyu the truth. Even if he was scolded and reprimanded, he would accept it. 。"To be honest, Xiao Shuji, we don't have a specific plan." 。Today, all day long, the leaders in our town have been trying to figure out a way to get those mining transport workers back into work, but..."

Xiao Jingyu stretched out his palm and made a pause gesture to Xiao Zheng, signaling him to stop talking. 。

Xiao Zheng had to swallow the other explanations. 。After a while, Xiao Jingyu got up from the sofa and then said to Xiao Zheng: "You go back." 。Xiao Zheng was surprised. Could Xiao Jingyu have only asked that one question, refused to listen to his explanation, and let him go back like that

Had Xiao Jingyu already been completely disappointed in him

Xiao Zheng looked at Xiao Jingyu again, finding that she had walked to the window, her hands crossed over her chest, quietly looking out. 。Xiao Zheng originally wanted to say something more, but in the end he didn't say it, so he just said, "Xiao Shuji, then I'll go back first, goodbye." 。Xia Jingyu remained silent. 。

Xiao Zheng had to retreat from the house. 。Outside, Li Haiyan was standing there waiting. As soon as she saw Xiao Zheng, she walked up a few steps: "How is it Did you get scolded"

Xiao Zheng shook his head: "It's worse than being scolded, I'd rather be scolded" 。I told Xiao Shujì the truth, and Xiao Shujì let me leave. He didn't say anything else. 。It seems like one can't be honest, after all. 。Li Haiyan, however, encouraged him: "That's not necessarily true. Since Xiao Shuji didn't say anything else, maybe she was just thinking about what to do and didn't mean to blame you too much" Xiao Zheng said: "The possibility is small..." 。"Li Haiyan said, "Master, you go back first. I'll contact you as soon as there is any news." 。r, so they came out too. 。Saw An Ruyi, Xiao Jingyu again, as well as her son and the leaders from town. 。Xiao Rongrong said, "So many people today!" An Ruyi smiled and said, "Uncle Xiao, Auntie Fei, w...
