065. The broken place in the corner

The sun was shining brightly, and the asphalt road could produce oil. It was already 11 o'clock in the morning. Chen Guobin drove the Fukang car, which was both public and private, and had just passed the bumpy test of Xinping Highway and arrived at the entrance of Pingjiang County.

It was quite comfortable to drive the air conditioner in the car. There were two old men in Cory sitting in the back row, namely Wu Chengxin, 40, and Sun Youwei, 38. This was the second time they followed Chen Guobin on a business trip, but they had known his request long ago - they could do whatever they wanted when they didn't do serious business, so they talked easily behind them. They were so fierce that they were not bad at all, which made Chen Guobin feel deeply moved.

In recent months, in addition to returning to Pingjiang's home, Chen Guobin has not officially come to Pingjiang for business trips. This time he finally broke the record. It was also his first business trip to Pingjiang after being shipped with a bus. The task of this business trip was to go to County 321 to investigate along the way to see if the road was really bad enough to climb the car anymore - this statement was long ago. As for the road construction plan, it was still only a cliché slogan. Chen Guobin's business trip was not to study the feasibility of road construction. It was just an investigation to prove that the Municipal Transportation Bureau was still concerned.

The county transportation bureau has a bit old yard. After getting off the bus, Chen Guobin took two generals straight to Director Zhang's office. Before leaving the city in the morning, Chen Guobin had made an appointment with Director Zhang in his office to investigate and learn about it on the spot. As for the county transportation bureau with deeper water, Chen Guobin didn't want to mix in too much, just finish his simple work.

"Secretary Chen, hello!" When he saw Chen Guobin appearing at the door, he was erecting a big beer belly in the office. Zhang Qide, who was nearly forty years, quickly got up to greet him warmly.

"Hello, Director Zhang..."

After greeting each other, they took their seats.

Wu Chengxin and Sun Youwei, two veteran municipal bureau clerks, have known Zhang Qide for a long time. They are more familiar with Chen Guobin, but they are much more trouble-free. Although Chen Guobin doesn’t like these two old foxes, they are rich in work experience and can save a lot of trouble-freeness when they bring them. Unlike those young people, they have to teach them this and that every time, it is more difficult.

I heard Director Zhang briefly introduce the current situation of County Road 321. He suffered a lot of bitterness, and Chen Guobin expressed deep sympathy and regret. In fact, there are more roads in Lingyang, and there are no one who can't bear to blame him. Section Chief Chen is not a banker - just a drawing.

It was not long before noon, and the field investigation was planned to be conducted in the afternoon.

"Director Zhang, go and have a meal!"

Chen Guobin doesn't want to be short-spoken. After understanding the basic situation, he simply took the initiative to ask someone to go to a restaurant. At least he has a considerable reimbursement, but he usually doesn't have many opportunities to use it.

Seeing Section Chief Chen's heroic spirit, Wu Chengxin and Sun Youwei couldn't help but feel very happy. The last time they followed Linbei to enjoy the fun of a business trip, but Section Chief Chen is a person who is very careful in the industry. The money they should spend will not be saved and will be very nourishing.

Under the hinting of the two old fried dough sticks, Zhang Qide was kind-hearted and happily accepted the invitation from his superiors, and called Xiao Li, who would go to the scene together in the afternoon, and brought some information from previous investigations and measurements. In fact, for Director Zhang, the hospitality fee is currently a problem that is more stressful, because the county bureau has been taking it seriously recently - mainly to the grassroots level, and the hospitality fee of the bureau leaders is not included. Now that the young Section Chief Chen is so proactive and enthusiastic, he just takes it easy and saves time to take a few hundred yuan bills to the finance department, and he has to be severely criticized by the leaders of the bureau.

Two cars drove out of the yard of the Transportation Bureau, one in front and one behind.

Chen Guobin, who could not travel a few times a month, did not want to be too frugal, so he could not lose face from the city bureau, so he drove the car to a hotel that looked pretty good.

At 1:30 p.m., the five people finally walked out of the hotel. Chen Guobin's face remained unchanged, while the other four people had rosy faces. Everyone was very satisfied and happy, and even unconsciously took Section Chief Chen as the core - the one with the right to reimbursement is the master!

After getting on the bus, led by Director Zhang's old-fashioned Beijing Jeep, the two cars left the east of the city and drove quickly along National Highway No. 6 to the southeast. This was the route Chen Guobin once took Miss Zhao to Lianyun Mountain on a motorcycle.

An hour later, they arrived at a fork on Provincial Highway No. 53. From here to the north is the narrow and sparse County Road 321, and on the south is the rolling Lianyun Mountain.

Director Zhang's Beijing Jeep was the first to drive up bravely and danced gracefully, while Chen Guobin followed closely and felt this journey that was more exciting than Xinping Highway.

County Road 321 is more than 20 kilometers long and connects four towns along the way. Finally, it breaks its head at the foot of a mountain with a remnant line extending from Mufu Mountain in the north. Therefore, for the four towns located here, County Road 321 is the only way for them to connect with the outside world. The speed is usually no more than 10 yards, which is a standard crawling level.

Although Chen Guobin felt a little regretful for the people living here, he was more helpless.

In fact, based on the existing roadbed of County Road 321, a standard four-level road was formed. Three years ago, which only took more than 1 million yuan, but now it was only more than 2 million yuan. But no one wanted to take the lead. He just wanted to wait for the superior departments with high funds to solve it. As a result, he delayed it again and again and suffered all year round. Anyway, Chen Guobin has seen too many similar situations and has long lost his feelings. And there is only helplessness for such situations that there is serious lack of initiative in this place. Besides, even Zhao Yaqin has no time to pay attention to this county road. Of course, Chen Guobin has no time to pay attention to this county road. Even if he wants to, there is no way to do it. No matter how good he draws on the picture, it will be useless. From a global perspective, investing very limited funds in this corner is also a huge waste.

In short, Chen Guobin does not think that this path should be built now, unless these townships raise funds themselves and work hard to solve their own problems.

They walked and stopped, shining against the sun, and compared the information to experience the appearance of this road, it was indeed very bad. However, Chen Guobin was in a leisurely state this time. Two old fried dough sticks with short mouths and strong spirits were present, so he didn't need to spend more brain cells. Although the old fried dough sticks were a little oily, they still had the ability.

It is rare to see a small banana forest near the roadside. The tall and dense banana trees formed a rare shade. Several people who were severely sunk naturally drove their cars to the side and stopped, then ran to the banana trees and lay down, closed their eyes and took a short rest. In fact, the wine that the few people drank in the hotel before still had a little momentum - except for Chen Guobin, someone soon started to snore.

In this kind of weather, getting off the bus from time to time to sightsee on such broken roads is indeed a great pain, and the clothes of the four people next to Chen Guobin have long been soaked in sweat.

At this time, a non-operating minibus was jogging out from the depths of the mountains along the county road, with no other vehicles in front and behind.

There were more than 20 people sitting upright on this minibus. Except for the several policemen who accompanied him to ensure safety, the rest were not ordinary people. There were executive vice mayor Xu Shuyan, county party secretary Wu Keding, county party secretary Zhao, and county magistrate Zhao, and other were relevant personnel at the municipal and county levels. Dong Wanning was no exception.

The car seemed very quiet, no one spoke, and everyone's faces were very serious.

Secretary Wu and County Magistrate Zhao were in a bad mood. This time they were caught off guard. Unexpectedly, after Mayor Xu came to the county, he had been walking around the county for an afternoon. The next morning, he suddenly designated to come to the broken place in this corner to take a look, and emphasized that he would not bring any extra vehicles to accompany him. As a result, he drove the minibus that was currently hanging far from comparable to small cars.

Therefore, including Mayor Xu and the county leaders, they were very honored to experience the particularity of County Road 321, and at the same time they deeply remembered this county road.

It is almost the worst place in Pingjiang. Without any preparation, being inspected by the city leaders in such a special form is equivalent to a heavy slap from the county party committee and government. It would be strange if Secretary Wu and County Mayor Zhao were in good mood. However, at the same time, they had a very deep feeling about the new Mayor Xu's special style - not just heard about it.

From the beginning of stepping on this county road to the return journey, Xu Shuyan has been stern, making the people next to her silent and dare not say a word rashly.

At this time, Xu Shuyan was sitting by the window, her eyes falling on the sparsely low houses outside, most of which were so old that there were even thatched huts.

The reason I came here was because Xu Shuyan personally received a more verbal infectious petitioner last week. At that time, the petitioner confides her about the strong voices of road construction in the four towns here, as well as the helplessness caused by the road being too bad... Xu Shuyan is not a person who is prone to softening his ears, but she is concerned about the sufferings of the people and is particularly sensitive to poverty.

After arriving in Pingjiang yesterday, Xu Shuyan had some overly enthusiastic receptions to the county party committee and government. She had a lot of opinions in her heart, but she still didn't directly face it. After all, the county and the bureau are different, and the impact is much greater. After staying in a luxurious hotel dedicated to official receptions for one night, Xu Shuyan made a request to come here for inspection this morning. She did not want to be led by the people in the county, so she could not see any situation - she always insisted on seeing the actual situation.

As a result, Xu Shuyan not only let herself and everyone feel a long-lost vibration, loosen her muscles and bones, and deeply feel the poverty here that is only equivalent to the level of the early 1980s. Xu Shuyan was naturally very dissatisfied with the inaction of the Pingjiang County Party Committee and County Government, and at the same time, she did not forget the responsibilities that the important unit of the Municipal Transportation Bureau should bear. A face suddenly appeared in her mind, but it was the Section Chief Chen.

Zhao Yaqin sat behind Xu Shuyan, her eyes also staring out the window, and she felt very uncomfortable.

In the past six months since I came to Pingjiang, due to the heavy work and too many overall problems to pay attention to, Zhao Yaqin has never even been here once. There are nearly 30 townships in Pingjiang County, and she has only inspected half of them. What she saw and felt this time made Zhao Yaqin quickly realize the more comprehensive situation in Pingjiang County. When Mayor Xu asked about the specific situation here, she almost didn't know anything about it, and she couldn't even know more than Mayor Xu. This deep shame made her unforgettable for her life.

Zhao Yaqin seemed to have a little understanding of why she always felt a little unrestrained last week.

But she immediately didn't think so, because she was very surprised to find that a familiar car was parked next to a banana forest. Isn't that guy's? Then, Zhao Yaqin immediately found someone lying in the shade of the tree, and there were four very unrealistic men lying nearby, just like pigs.

Zhao Yaqin didn't know how to describe her mood at this time.

Dong Wanning also saw this scene. After being surprised, she felt her heart rise to her throat. But she knew that Mayor Xu didn't like people who were not serious at work. And those people lying under the tree... Dong Wanning had no doubts. Mayor Xu had a very deep impression of Section Chief Chen. This time, I was afraid... Mayor Xu would not be far away from the road if he couldn't see it. It was impossible for them to be very conspicuous.

Chen Guobin had heard the sound of minibus for a long time, so he was too lazy to open his eyes and continued to close his eyes to rest. This place was a bit windy and the shade was very dense. It was really a natural place to escape the summer heat, making people reluctant to leave.

"Stop!" Xu Shuyan suddenly shouted loudly, with the tone of orders being very serious and irresistible, and it immediately broke the silence in the car. The driver stopped abruptly.

The car was looking at each other, except for some insiders with complicated moods.

This guy, Zhao Yaqin, was about to be angry to death. Dong Wanning couldn't help but worry, and she was even more depressed. Why did she always worry about it? Their void was in the car!

Chen Guobin felt a trace of unusual aura, and finally opened his eyes and looked at him. He was immediately thundered. He saw that the minibus parked less than ten meters away had so many familiar faces, and the expression on his face was also very wonderful.

The four big men next to them were still sleeping like pigs at this time.
