Chapter 246 Deputy Director Du gives face

After noon, Du Xuezhou and his party rushed to Baishu County, accompanied by Deputy Mayor Yu, Director Zhou of the Municipal Transportation Bureau, Secretary Zhang of the Baishu County Party Committee and others. At the gate of the county government compound, County Mayor Lei Guanghan had brought other comrades from the county party committee to greet him. After everyone shook hands and greeted him enthusiastically, they surrounded Deputy Director Du and Deputy Mayor Yu to the county party committee meeting room.

Deputy Director Du and Deputy Mayor Yu sat in the first place, and the rest of the comrades pressed the signs on the table to find their own positions. Of course, the sign in front of the Provincial Department of Transportation reads the provincial department leaders, the city bureau leaders, and the county department leaders, the county names write their own names.

As a technical expert in the preparation group who was specifically responsible for relevant information, Dong Yueling sat next to Liu Siyu.

The meeting was chaired by Qian Li, director of the county party committee office. This woman is smart and capable. She is familiar with such a meeting. She first made everyone express her sincere welcome to the provincial department leaders and municipal leaders with warm applause. Then the county party secretary Zhang Xiande delivered a speech. Next, Baishu County Mayor Lei Guanghan reported to the provincial department leaders and municipal leaders on behalf of Baishu County.

Although Lei Guanghan did not fully understand the situation of Baishan Road, Dong Yueling made a detailed report to him on the related work yesterday and sent all the information to Director He Chengyun. Director He summoned the pen of the county government office. He worked overtime until two o'clock in the morning last night and finally drove out the report materials and sent them to him early this morning.

Therefore, County Mayor Lei's report was vivid, specific, organized, and well-founded. He explained the reasons for the construction of Baishan Road as a second-level cement road very thoroughly. He also predicted how much traffic on Baishan Road will increase after the road is completed, and after the road from Baishu County to Xinhe County is completed and opened to traffic, the traffic on Baishan Road is about how much traffic on Baishan Road can be charged, how many tolls can be charged every year, how many years can be recovered, etc., so it is clearly stated, especially the benefits of diverting the original Baishan Road.

The original Baishan Road went out from Baishu County and went down Baishu River. Within two kilometers, it turned into the mountains, crossed the mountain and passed the territory of Linxi County, and then went to Shannan City. In this way, the road from Baishu County to Shannan City was equivalent to turning a corner in Linxi County. Apart from the county town, Baishu County was connected, a township was not benefited. Now it means to connect to the county. The newly built Baishan Road simply went northwest along Baishu River, passing through Songjia Town, Gongle Town, and Shunnan Town in Jianqiao District, Shannan City, to Shannan City. In this way, it can not only promote the development of Songjia Town and Gongle Town, but also shortened to within 50 kilometers. It took less than an hour for a car to go from Baishu County to the city.

In order to more vividly illustrate the advantages of the diversion, Dong Yueling and He Chengyun also specially made multimedia pictures for this purpose, temporarily installed equipment in the conference room, and displayed the diversion route plan according to County Mayor Lei's instructions.

Du Xuezhou and other leaders of the provincial department focused on the pictures on the screen. According to County Mayor Lei's introduction, they made detailed comparisons and felt that the design after the diverted route was more reasonable. Then, they looked at the diagram of the road from Baishu County to Xinhe County. In order to illustrate the advantages of this route, Dong Yueling compared the imagined highway with the national highway from Shannan City through Lingbei County, so that everyone could clearly see the convenience of going to Baishu County.

County Magistrate Lei's report was a great success with the cooperation of Dong Yueling and He Chengyun. Du Xuezhou listened carefully to Baishu County's idea and said, "I really don't know if you don't read it. Your changes are likely to change a fast channel from Pingxi to Lingnan. It will have an immeasurable effect on the development of Pingxi. Lao Yu, if this is true, the comrades in Baishu County have made great contributions."

Hearing Director Du's praise, Deputy Mayor Yu was also happy. He said, "Director Du, with an open and insightful leader like you, our comrades below are confident in their work."

Secretary Zhang naturally also said thank you to Director Du. Then, two experts from Du Xuezhou asked a few questions about some technical issues. These professional questions were naturally answered by Dong Yueling, and Secretary Zhang answered the funds required for the highway.

The whole meeting ended in a joyful atmosphere. During the meeting, Director Du enthusiastically proposed to go to Changling Township to experience the road from Baishu County to Xinhe County that will be built in the future. Of course, everyone should follow. Fortunately, Liu Siyu asked the development zone to borrow 50,000 yuan to Changling Township. The township organized the masses to fill out the road some time ago, and the car could arrive smoothly. However, after arriving at the township government, the road ahead was too bad. In the end, only Deputy Mayor Yu, Director Zhou, Secretary Zhang, and County Mayor Lei accompanied Du Xuezhou and his party, took two off-road vehicles, and led by Hu Zhucai, Party Secretary of Changling Township, to the junction of the two counties. Liu Siyu and the others were waiting for tea in the township government.

When Cao Yuefei, the head of Changling Township, saw Liu Siyu coming, he immediately smiled enthusiastically on his face and kept saying words of gratitude. Liu Siyu called him down and asked about the flood prevention work in the village. Cao Yuefei said loudly: "County Magistrate Liu, Director Mingqiang came yesterday, and we held a meeting to conduct research. According to your requirements, the Changling Township Flood Control Command was established to carefully investigate all places that are prone to geological disasters and formulated various emergency plans. Don't worry, we guarantee that Changling Township will safely survive the flood season."

"I'm kind to you with this determination, but you must attach great importance to this matter. If you have any difficulties, you can call me." Liu Siyu said in a stressful tone.

After Director Du and his team returned, the group rushed back to Baishu County. That night, the Baishu County Party Committee set up several tables in Baishu Hotel. Those who accompanied Director Du, Director Yang and Deputy Director Chen were naturally Deputy Mayor Yu, Director Zhou of the Municipal Transportation Bureau, Zhang Xiande, Secretary of the Baishu County Party Committee, Lei Guanghan, Director of the County Party Committee Office Qian Li and Liu Siyu, and experts from the two design institutes who came down with Director Du, were accompanied by Jiang Mingqiang, Director of the County Government Office, Wei Jiahong and Dong Yueling, and others. As for the driver's secretary, they sat down again.

The drinking procedure is similar to the common procedures in the officialdom. Only when he was at the table, Du Xuezhou set a total amount for himself. He said, "I will first declare this wine today. I will take five cups of total amount."

Deputy Mayor Yu is quite familiar with him, and the two are on the same level. Although Du Xuezhou is the executive deputy director and an important department of the Department of Transportation, Deputy Mayor Yu's scope of in charge is wider than him. In this way, the two are almost the same, so they speak casually than others.

"Director Du, this is not possible. You have the first time you have arrived in Baishu County. You always have to take the responsibility of the cadres and masses in Baishu County. In this way, as the saying goes, you have to send it. If you have to leave it, you can drink 8 cups. Hand me the more." Deputy Mayor Yu joked.

"Old Yu, these eight cups are a bit too many. In this way, I can drink at most six cups. Six and six will go well, and everyone will go well." Du Xuezhou glanced at Deputy Mayor Yu helplessly and said.

Secretary Zhang and others naturally persuaded him for a while, but Du Xuezhou's attitude was very firm, so everyone had to give up. When the rest of the people saw that Deputy Mayor Yu had not said much about drinking, they were naturally not good to say anything else. Some people just cheered up in their hearts.

After the decision was made, first Secretary Zhang, Lei Guanghan, Qian Li, and Liu Siyu toast the provincial and municipal leaders present together, and expressed their sincere respect for their busy schedules to take time to inspect and guide the work of Baishu County. Then, Secretary Zhang began to toast the provincial and municipal leaders on the table one by one. After he toasted, he toasted County Mayor Lei, and then Liu Siyu, and finally Qian Li. Qian Li ranked behind Liu Siyu among the Standing Committee members. Naturally, Liu Siyu toasted her and toasted her.

However, when Secretary Zhang Xiande started to toast, Director Du said that he had already drunk a glass, and this time he only drank half a cup. Seeing that Director Du had only drank half a cup, Deputy Mayor Yu had only drank half a cup. Yang Mingqing's level was the same as Zhang Xiande, so he naturally couldn't pretend to be big, so he drank one cup. Chen Caifa naturally followed. When it came to Lei Guanghan, Director Du was like this again. Except for Deputy Mayor Yu who drank half a cup, the other provincial and municipal leaders drank a full cup.

It was Liu Siyu's turn to toast, and naturally it started with Director Du. "Director Du, I'll toast you with a glass. Thank you for your support for the transportation industry in Baishu County. After I finish drinking it, you can do whatever you want." Liu Siyu said with great sincerity.

"County Magistrate Xiao Liu is not bad. There are not many cadres who work steadily like this, so do your best." Du Xuezhou's eyes were filled with concern for the elders to look at the younger generation. The two of them touched lightly, and Liu Siyu raised his head to drink. Du Xuezhou looked at Liu Siyu with satisfaction, raised his hand, but finished the wine in the cup in one sip.

When Liu Siyu saw that Director Du actually gave him face like this, he quickly took the wine bottle and poured wine for Director Du's cup. Director Yang behind saw that Director Du had actually drank a glass with Liu Siyu. Although he didn't understand the situation of the two, he didn't have to drink only one sip. The two of them had another drink. As for Chen Caifa, the two looked at each other and drank happily. Deputy Mayor Yu did not expect that Director Du would give Liu Siyu face like this. He kept guessing the relationship between the two in his heart. Seeing Liu Siyu toasting him, he thought for a while and drank a full glass. In this way, the eyes of the people on the table looking at Liu Siyu became strange.

It is said that wine is lubricant. After a few bottles of wine were gone, the atmosphere between the table became warm. Deputy Mayor Yu raised his cup and said to Director Du: "Old Du, thank you for your support for the transportation industry in our city. You must help us fight for this Baishan Road. You have also seen the prospects of this road. If it is completed, it will indeed be a road that will lead the 300,000 people in Baishu County to get rid of poverty and move towards prosperity. Come, Lao Zhang, we all respect the leaders of the provincial department and wish Baishan Road to start construction as soon as possible."

Seeing that the leaders of Shannan City and Baishu County raised the cups, Du Xuezhou picked up the cups and said, "Lao Yu, Secretary Zhang, I can understand your feelings, but the establishment of a highway is a big deal. It involves too many things in all aspects. I can only say one thing, I will try my best to fight for you."

"Okay, with Director Du's words, we will feel relieved. Come on, we all respect the leaders of the provincial department." Deputy Mayor Yu shouted happily.

Afterwards, everyone drank two more bottles, and it was over. Du Xuezhou said that he would only drink six cups at the beginning of the meal, but nothing was wrong. Director Yang and Deputy Director Chen were drunk under the siege of leaders at the city and county levels. Qian Li commanded the people from the office to send them to the room of Baishu Hotel.

Although Zhang Xiande and Lei Guanghan had good alcohol tolerance, they had no choice but to be the masters tonight and wanted to accompany their leaders. They were also drunk very much. After forcing the provincial and municipal leaders to the room, they went home under the escort of their respective secretaries.

The next morning, after breakfast, Director Du and his party left Baishu County with the eyes of Secretary Zhang and other leaders of Baishu County. However, their cart was filled with air-dried wild game that He Chengyun specially bought from villagers near Bee Mountain.
