Chapter 1407 It's Difficult to Do Good Things
Xia Jian built roads in the three poorest villages in Pingyang Town without any government funding. This made him an instant celebrity in Pingdu City.
To put it bluntly, I would like to thank Bai Xiaoru, the reporter of the provincial newspaper in Pingdu City. Speaking of this Bai Xiaoru, she and Xia Jian are really a bit unfamiliar.
Bai Xiaoru, female, in her twenties, has a slim figure and a pretty face. But her skin is a bit dark because she is from a city in the south. When Xia Jian was the general manager of a startup group in Fuchuan City, he once held a press conference
Meeting. Bai Xiaoru, who was an intern reporter for the provincial newspaper, suddenly blocked Xia Jian at the door to the conference room and asked a lot of tricky and weird questions.
Bai Xiaoru's behavior at that time made Xia Jian quite disgusted, but he still patiently answered several questions raised by Bai Xiaoru. From this time on, the two of them were considered acquainted.
Unexpectedly, Bai Xiaoru later became a regular reporter in Pingdu City, and Xia Jian also resigned from his position as general manager of the entrepreneurial group at this time and returned to Pingdu City. Such a chance encounter made them happy when they first met.
.
Even though Bai Xiaoru is a woman, she has a straightforward personality and is upright. She will work hard to dig out the news materials that should be reported, but she will not report a word of the news materials that should not be reported.
Unexpectedly, she found out about Xia Jian's road construction this time. A report of thousands of words made the hired mayor instantly become a well-known figure throughout the province.
Provincial leaders paid special attention to this matter and called the municipal government directly, requesting that Xia Jian be commended for his work style that was not afraid of difficulties and that cadres from various towns and villages in Pingdu City should organize learning.
On this day, Xia Jiangang held a meeting with all the cadres in the town, and then rushed to Pingdu City without stopping. In Yao Junli's office, he got straight to the point and told Yao Junli to invest in shuttle buses in Shangxiagou Village.
After hearing Xia Jian's suggestion, Yao Junli made a decision on the spot without even thinking about it, and asked someone to make arrangements. Yao Junli's decisiveness made Xia Jian a little puzzled. He laughed and asked: "Mr. Yao! Although we are friends, but this
After all, it’s an investment, why don’t you check it out?”
"Is there anything to investigate? When you were building the road, I had already sent people to inspect it. I am really happy that you came to me for this investment. This shows that I, Yao Junli, still have a place in your mind," Yao Junli said with a slight smile.
.
Xia Jian finally understood. No wonder Yao Junli was so happy. It turned out that she had been optimistic about this project for a long time. This just confirmed what a businessman said, mosquitoes and elephants are both meat.
Xia Jian is a straight-tempered person. When he saw Yao Junli agreeing to this matter, he smiled and said: "Mr. Yao! Since you have already planned this matter, hurry up and get it done. I hope the shuttle bus on this road can run soon.
Get up, of course, we will give you strong support in all aspects."
As soon as Xia Jian finished speaking, his cell phone rang. He took out his cell phone and saw that the call was from Secretary Wang. He quickly answered the call.
Secretary Wang's happy voice came over the phone: "Mayor Xia! Are you also in the city? I'm with Mayor Chen. Come over here. Mayor Chen wants to talk to you about something."
As soon as Secretary Wang finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Xia Jian spread his hands a little helplessly and said, "I'll see you anyway, and I won't dial a penny."
"The boss wants to see you, so go quickly! If you are free in the evening, let's come over and have a drink. It's been a long time since we've had a drink together. It's weird." When Yao Junli said this, her eyes were filled with emotion.
Xia Jian stood up and walked out, smiling and saying, "Are you drunk? Or do you miss me?"
"It's all settled!" When Yao Junli finished saying this, her face immediately turned red. She is a strong woman, and she usually can't say such words.
In the office of Mayor Chen Jiang, there were several deputy mayors sitting. Among them were the leaders of the town. Secretary Wang, probably because of his age, was sitting on the sofa, and there happened to be a seat next to him. Xia
As soon as Jian entered the door, he walked over and sat next to Secretary Wang.
"Mayor Xia is here? I have to praise you. The road in Shangxiagou Village was built in a very timely manner. There is a saying that if you want to get rich, build the road first. In fact, everyone understands this truth, but few cadres are willing to do so.
Work hard. I didn't expect you to accomplish two major things as soon as you came." Chen Jiang spoke well of Xia Jian in front of everyone.
Xia Jian sighed and said: "The road in Shangxiagou Village is very difficult. No one can repair it with manpower alone. It's not that I have much ability, but that I used some personal connections, that's all."
"Xia Jian said it in an understatement, not exaggerating at all.
"Is this also your ability? The roads were built well and in a timely manner, and the incident in Zhangyang Village was also very embarrassing. The provincial leader personally called to praise these two things. So cadres from other towns and villages should do well when they come down.
Learn from Mayor Xia. If necessary, organize a study and ask Mayor Xia to share his experience with everyone." Chen Jiang burst out laughing as he spoke.
Xia Jian was not interested in such things at all. He immediately smiled and said to Chen Jiang: "Mayor Chen! I don't think this study is necessary. In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that doing grassroots work is unnecessary.
Be afraid of hardship and fatigue, and the second is to unite the people well and think more about the people. I think with these two points, there is no job that I can’t do.”
"Haha! Mayor Xia also said that he has no experience. This is his best experience. Everyone should write it down and study it carefully when he goes back. I have something important that I want to study with the two comrades from Pingyang Town. Others can
Let’s go back first,” Chen Jiang said with a smile.
As soon as everyone had left, Xia Jian rushed to say, "Mayor Chen! I need your help with something," without waiting for Chen Jiang to speak.
"Oh! As long as it's not about money, you can tell me. I'll listen first." Chen Jiang opened his mouth and sealed Xia Jian's mouth first. Because he knew that what came to him for help was nothing more than money.
Xia Jian laughed and said: "The roads in Shangxiagou Village, Hejiaping Village, and Liziwan Village are now fully connected. Just now, I have found a boss and negotiated for her to fund this road.
Two shuttle buses will be launched to promote local economic development. I want Mayor Chen to say hello to the relevant departments and provide certain conveniences to this investor."
"Haha! Mayor Xia's work efficiency is really amazing. I can help you with this, but I have to remind you. We are not wrong in doing this, but there should be no deaths in the process. Can you say this?
Doesn't this matter have anything to do with you?" Chen Jiang looked serious when he said this.
Secretary Wang couldn't sit still. He chuckled and said: "Mayor Chen! I don't think this matter has anything to do with Mayor Xia. He got in this old man by himself, and it's not like he was crushed during the road construction process.
dead"
"Secretary Wang! You can't say this. As cadres, we have to be brave enough to take responsibility. Tell me, if Xia Jian didn't realize that it was his fault, then why did he take out the money himself?" Chen Jiang
Said without any politeness.
Secretary Wang did not expect that Chen Jiang, the mayor of a city, would say this to Xia Jian. He blushed with excitement and couldn't help but raise his voice and said: "Mayor Chen! How can you understand this matter like this?"
"Then how do you think I should understand it?" Chen Jiang also had an angry look on his face.
When Xia Jian saw it, he quickly stood up. He chuckled and said, "I have already remembered Mayor Chen's reminder, but don't forget what I asked you just now."
After Xia Jian finished speaking, he pulled Secretary Wang who was sulking, and the two quickly walked out of Chen Jiang's office. On the way, Xia Jian couldn't help but ask Secretary Wang: "He asked me to come over, did he just talk about this?
There is really no need, just give me a message, why go through this unjust journey?"
"It's unreasonable. What is he trying to do? He makes everything difficult for us, and yet he keeps saying he wants to support us. Is this support? Which loan in Zhangyang Village, if he hadn't been a hindrance, would it have been ruined?" Secretary Wang
As he walked, he said angrily.
Xia Jian laughed and said: "Don't be angry, he is targeting me. But don't worry, as long as I am doing business and benefiting the people, it is useless for him to stop me."
The two of them were talking and had walked out of the gate of the city hall. Xia Jian saw that it was lunch time and was about to ask Secretary Wang to go to Cai Li's place for dinner when his cell phone rang.
The call was from Qin Xiaomin, and Xia Jian had no reason not to answer it. But as soon as the call came through, Qin Xiaomin yelled willfully on the phone: "Xia Jian! Do you still have humanity? I have been in the provincial capital for several days, and my feet
It hurts like hell every day and you don’t make a single call. What do you mean?”
When Xia Jian heard this, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue. How could he forget this? Qin Xiaomin did hurt his foot at his house. Even if he couldn't take care of him, he should always call and ask! But he
I was so busy that I actually forgot about this.
"I'm sorry! I thought you had surgery and needed to rest, so I didn't dare to call. Besides, I was still afraid that your mother would be angry at you when she heard my voice." Xia Jian tried his best to find a reason not to call.
.
Qin Xiaomin didn't care what he said, he just listened to what she said word for word: "I'm at the Orthopedic Hospital in the provincial capital. I'm going to have an operation tomorrow morning. I order you to come here immediately, otherwise you will never see me again in your life." Qin Xiaomin finished speaking
, and hung up the phone.
Xia Jian, who looked confused, was holding his mobile phone in his hand and was at a loss for the moment. He couldn't figure it out. Why not just do a fracture operation on the foot? Is it necessary to make such a big show of it? Besides, Qin Xiaomin didn't have her mother with her.
Are you there? Why did you have to ask him to go? Xia Jian really couldn't figure it out.
Secretary Wang, who was following Xia Jian closely, couldn't help but patted Xia Jian's shoulder and said, "Go quickly! You have to go for both private and business matters."
"No, this matter is not as simple as you think. Besides, why did she ask me to do the surgery? I'm not a doctor," Xia Jian complained with a look of displeasure.
Secretary Wang chuckled and said, "Just be content! Qin Xiaomin is a deputy mayor anyway, and it doesn't matter if she asks you to accompany her. Will you lose a few kilograms of meat?"
Xia Jian was still hesitant. Secretary Wang became a little angry. He lowered his voice and said, "Stop hesitating and drive over quickly! Act like a man."
