If you cheat, money will follow

11 month.

The weather is getting colder and the earth is covered with a layer of silver frost.

7:30 am.

Chang Xueqin and Tan Xiaoya walked out of Nanshagou Community.

They arrived at the unit five minutes later, then separated and went to work.

The two did not buy a house in Beijing.

Instead, they live in a specially arranged state-owned transitional house in Nanshagou Community.

He and Qian Yangxian, a great master of traditional Chinese culture, were neighbors if he were still alive.

Chang Xueqin walked into the office building, went up to the third floor, and walked through the corridor.

In the corridor, there were officials from many places.

They gathered in twos and threes outside the offices of various departments, waiting for the rightful owner.

These are all those who can come in if acquaintances lead the way, and there are more who can't.

Every year when major policies are introduced and adjusted, it is the peak period for reporting.

Sometimes a sentence or a line from a superior can be worth ten years of work.

Chang Xueqin himself has a deep understanding of this at the grassroots level.

As soon as Chang Xueqin opened his office, Li Wencong, a director of the department, came over and whispered:

"Director, two leaders have come from my hometown and want to report to you?"

"Which city?" Chang Xueqin asked.

"Jingzhou City in the southwest." Li Wencong answered.

"Oh, where are they now?" Chang Xueqin asked.

"I'm waiting for you in my office now." Li Wencong replied

"Then bring them here." Chang Xueqin nodded.

"Thank you, Director." Li Wencong thanked him happily.

"Don't be too hasty to thank me. I came here just because I wanted to set up a project." Chang Xueqin shook his head and said with a smile:

"Whether it can be established depends on whether the conditions are met."

"Director, I understand. I have done my best to give them the opportunity to report to you. Everything else follows the regulations." Li Wencong said.

"Well, bring them over quickly. I'll have a meeting later." Chang Xueqin said.

"Ok."

Li Wencong quickly returned to his office and said to the two middle-aged men on the sofa:

"Governor Xu, Secretary Zhang, and the director are waiting for you in the office. Let's go there quickly."

"Ah? Thank you so much, Director Li." Xu Guorui and Zhang Bohong thanked you.

"You're welcome, I am also from Jingzhou after all. However, this is all I can do, please understand." Li Wencong said tactfully.

"Understand, understand! Being able to help us make an appointment with Director Chang is already the greatest help." Zhang Bohong held Li Wencong's hand, shook it vigorously and said:

"When you return to your hometown, please contact me."

"Haha, definitely." Li Wencong nodded.

Li Wencong took the two of them straight to Chang Xueqin's office, and then introduced:

"Director Chang, let me introduce you. This is the deputy governor of Southwest Province, Comrade Xu Guorui."

"Hello, Director Chang, I have long admired your name." Xu Guorui shook hands with Chang Xueqin.

"You're welcome, a little bit of fame is not worth mentioning." Chang Xueqin waved his hand and said.

"This is Comrade Zhang Bohong, the secretary of Jingzhou City in Southwest Province." Li Wencong continued to introduce.

"Hello, Director Chang, I have always wanted to find an opportunity to visit you. Fortunately, Director Li arranged it, and today I got my wish." Zhang Bohong said.

"No, I'm serious, sit down." Chang Xueqin shook hands and waved his hand.

"Okay, thank you."

Li Wencong is preparing to make tea.

Chang Xueqin said: "Wen Cong, you go back and do your work, I will take care of you."

"Ouch, you can't do it. Let's do it ourselves." Zhang Bohong stood up immediately.

"You're welcome, Secretary Zhang. It's not easy for comrades at the grassroots level. You and Governor Xu came all the way here, so you can't deprive me of my right to make a cup of tea." Chang Xueqin said with a chuckle.

"Haha, Director Chang, what you said is very heart-warming to our Comrade Bohong, so we will have to do it reluctantly," Xu Guorui said.

"That's right. The work you two do is more important than the rest of us. You have more say in how the work is done and how it is carried out." Chang Xueqin said.

"Director Chang, I don't dare to be." Zhang Bohong praised:

"I have carefully studied the typical experiences you captured while working in Renhe County, Yangcheng County, and Changning City. I was greatly inspired and amazed."

"You are the role model I need to follow."

"It's just because of policies, seizing opportunities, and following the trend. It can't be said to be a role model." Chang Xueqin said modestly, making tea and placing it in front of the two of them.

"Thank you." Xu Guorui and Zhang Bohong both took the tea cups with both hands and put them down.

"The two leaders have come all the way here. Do you have something to do?" Chang Xueqin asked as he sat in his seat.

Xu Guorui looked at Zhang Bohong.

Zhang Bohong took out a letterhead document from his document bag and handed it to Chang Xueqin with both hands.

This document is a project approval request submitted by the Southwest Provincial Development and Reform Department.

After Chang Xueqin accepted the request, Zhang Bohong explained:

"Director Chang, this request for instructions has been submitted through the procedures before, and this one is another one. We..."

Before Zhang Bohong finished speaking, Chang Xueqin frowned slightly and asked:

"Secretary Zhang, does Jingzhou City want to build an intercity light rail?"

"Yes." Zhang Bohong looked at the change in Chang Xueqin's expression and thought to himself that it was not good.

However, he could only bite the bullet and explain:

"Director Chang, in recent years, Jingzhou City has resolutely implemented the strategic deployment of urbanization by its superiors, making coordinated efforts from various aspects such as zoning adjustment, basic supporting facilities, public supporting facilities, industrial cultivation, employment guidance, and institutional guarantees..."

"We have basically realized a development pattern with the central city as the core, surrounding counties as the skeleton, and key towns as the support..."

"Currently, the city's permanent population is 710 million, of which the urban population has reached 340 million, and the urbanization rate has reached 47.88%, an increase of 10 percentage points from five years ago..."

"also……"

Zhang Bohong also wanted to take the opportunity to report on the economic development of Jingzhou City.

Use the speed of economic development to win favor and deepen impressions.

But was interrupted by Chang Xueqin:

"Secretary Zhang, the situations you mentioned are all included in the request for instructions. I can just look at them myself. I'll just ask three questions, okay?"

"Director Chang, feel free to ask," Zhang Bohong said.

"Last year, how much was your general budget revenue in Jingzhou City? Tell me a real number." Chang Xueqin asked.

"Hmm...about 120 billion yuan." Zhang Bohong was stunned and replied.

"Oh, it's pretty decent. What's the GDP?" Chang Xueqin asked again.

"1612 billion." Zhang Bohong replied.

"Well, in Southwest Province, it's pretty good data. What about the permanent population in urban areas? It only refers to urban areas." Chang Xueqin nodded.

"This..." Zhang Bohong hesitated and looked at Xu Guorui aside.

"Secretary Zhang, there is no need to be secretive, it is whatever it is." Chang Xueqin said with a smile.

"The latest statistics show that there are 70 people." Zhang Bohong said.

After Chang Xueqin asked three questions and heard three answers, he started to think twice.

According to relevant regulations, for cities that apply for the construction of light rail, the general public budget revenue should be more than 150 billion yuan;

The regional GDP is more than 1500 billion yuan;

The urban permanent population is more than 150 million people.

However, Jingzhou City cannot meet two conditions.
