First Secretary of Rebirth

After exposing Bai Dongxin's tricks, He Chaoyang and Ling Wei were finally able to free up their minds for construction.

Now Annan's reconstruction work is not over yet, but residents' daily lives are on track, so how to develop Annan has become the focus of the mayor's office meeting.

"From Jianjian to Zhanggu's tourism industry must be strictly managed." He Chaoyang sat at the top with a serious face. Annan is a disaster area, and the progress of the reconstruction work is sometimes reported on CCTV news, which has done a lot for Annan virtually. Good advertisement, Zhanggu is the epicenter. Although there is no well-known tourist base, there are still tourists who have visited Zhanggu in the past two months.

Of course, only relying on disaster tourism cannot support the local economy, but since this route has been expanded, it must be implemented well.The new holiday is over, and bad behaviors in the tourism industry or scenic spots are frequently exposed across the country. As an emerging tourist area, Annan naturally needs to stop this unhealthy trend from the root.

"Yes, I have already communicated with Comrade Zhang Xing of the Tourism Bureau. At present, the Tourism Bureau has only received a small number of tourists' complaints."

"A small amount?" He Chaoyang narrowed his eyes. "what reason?"

Liu Congjian smiled and said, "It's not for anything else. The most complaints from tourists are the road conditions."

Statutory holidays, visiting relatives and friends, and many residents traveling. Annan is the only place to go from northern Ning to southern Shaanxi, and the traffic pressure is still very high. Not only people from northern Ning have to go out, but also guests from southern Shaanxi. to come over.Because Annan City has launched many preferential policies and has natural breeding conditions, Annan is now starting to build agriculture, animal husbandry, and dairy and meat processing enterprises. As a result, there will be more vehicles entering and leaving Annan.

After this holiday, the shortcomings of the narrow Annan Highway were suddenly exposed, and there was even a four-hour traffic jam on the secondary highway from southern Shaanxi to Annan.

Four hours may not seem to be at the forefront of the nationwide traffic jam competition, but it is enough for Annan officials to realize the necessity of road repairs.

Annan's economy has just started and the roads are congested like this. If it develops in the future, people can't come in, and freight can't go out. The good situation that has just started will be killed in the cradle.Therefore, the officials who had been busy building roads to He Chaoyang no longer dared to slander them in their hearts.

Mayor He is Mayor He, because he has more vision than them.

"Mayor, the highway leading to southern Shaanxi can't wait any longer." Li Yongli suggested.

"Mayor Li is right," the traffic director who went to the highway to direct traffic during the holidays immediately echoed, "It's still a holiday, if the traffic jams are like this during the Chinese New Year, then all the traffic police will have to spend New Year's Eve on the highway."

He Zhaoyang glanced at them, looked around at the crowd, and said, "What do the others think?"

For a while there were echoes, but the director of the Finance Bureau spoke with a bitter face. "Building roads is a good thing, but where does the money come from?"

Yes, although Annan has a large amount of donations in his hands, those funds are used for post-disaster reconstruction, and according to the long-term plan, these donations and the appropriations from the superiors are actually not enough.Not to mention far away, only in Zhanggu and Shichuan counties, almost all buildings were destroyed. After all, these two cities have to be completely torn down and started again.Equivalent to the losses of other counties and cities, Annan almost has to rebuild three new cities. A complete city cannot be solved with a few residential buildings. Building a new city on the ground requires an astronomical amount of money.

Moreover, the donations are earmarked for special purposes. Improving the lives of the local residents in Annan is a bit tense. Where does the money come from to build the highway?

He Zhaoyang looked around at the crowd, and suddenly smiled, "The government has no money to build roads, tell me, what should we do?"

Everyone was stunned for a while, what does Mayor He mean by this?Exam them?

"Mayor, the main direction of the government's finances is to support the reconstruction of the disaster area. There is really no extra money to build roads. I found several banks, and they all expressed their willingness to support the government to build roads, but the loan amount is not too high." Finance Director Looking at He Chaoyang's face, he said carefully.

"I went to the comrades in the provincial department, and the support that the province can give us is limited." Li Yongli spoke second.

He Chaoyang nodded, "Relying on banks and the government is indeed a drop in the bucket."

"We can't wait any longer on this road." The traffic chief was in a hurry.

"But what about the money?" The Finance Director glared at him. Everyone knew that road construction was good, but what if the God of Wealth didn't have money in his pocket?

The traffic director looked at Mayor He anxiously, "Mayor, is there really no other way?"

Of course there is a way, but I can't say it now.

He Zhaoyang pondered for a while, and said: "No matter what, this road must be repaired. I have found a way to deal with the money, and there will be news in two days."

As soon as the words fell, everyone was stunned.This, this, highway construction is the most costly. Where did Mayor He find the way?

"Mayor, you..." Liu Congjian opened his mouth, and felt that He Chaoyang might have his concerns if he didn't say anything.

He Zhaoyang smiled at him and said, "Let's end the meeting."

No one knows what kind of medicine is sold in He Chaoyang's gourd, but now Annan's officials have a kind of blind trust in He Chaoyang, and it seems that there is nothing Mayor He can't solve.

Of course, since He Chaoyang took office, he has proved this point with countless facts.

Amidst the mutterings of many officials, Wilson, the manager of Landon Fund, brought a team to Annan.

"Welcome, Mr. Wilson." He Chaoyang personally led the team to the airport of Ningbei Provincial Capital to greet him.

Wilson looked at the young mayor with a handsome smile, his mouth was as bitter as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis.But facing He Chaoyang, he had to put on a smiling face, "Mayor He, long time no see."

The people who followed He Chaoyang to pick up the plane couldn't help being surprised to see that the president of Landon Fund and Mayor He were so familiar.Being able to attract an investment group from Mingzhu City is enough to attract attention. I didn't expect Mayor He not only to be well-fed in China, but also to have a lot of face in front of international financial predators.

Others were envious and jealous, but Li Yongli, who followed He Chaoyang to Mingzhu City, had a peaceful mind.In terms of intimacy with He Chaoyang, he is not as good as Liu Congjian, but because of the different division of labor between the two, Liu Congjian is in charge of the interior, and he is in charge of the outside, so He Chaoyang will take him with him every time he travels far, the farthest is that trip to the Pearl, The closest is the recent trip to the capital.

He didn't know the officials' school when he didn't come to the capital. Li Yongli had also been to Beijing with the leaders before.Although He Chaoyang was the director of the National Development and Reform Commission, Li Yongli did not dare to take the trip to the capital lightly.He was just a section chief, and he was really inconspicuous among the cadres in the capital.Even if there is a family background, but not every place will buy it, right?

But Li Yongli was wrong. He really underestimated Mayor He's ability.

Mayor He is not only familiar with the National Development and Reform Commission, but also can find acquaintances everywhere in the Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of Finance.Among these people, not all were high-ranking officials, but some were middle-level officials who were at the same level as He Chaoyang.Li Yongli looked at He Chaoyang and them tossing cups and exchanging cups to call each other brothers, guessing the possibility of the project passing from each of them's few words, and his flexible appearance made it hard to believe that he was the one and only brother Annan.

In the past, I always felt that Mayor Niu Cha, through this trip to the capital, let Li Yongli see another side of He Chaoyang.Be arrogant when you should be arrogant, be low-key when you should be low-key, and always be able to straighten your identity.

Such a person will definitely be able to go for a long time in the officialdom.

After returning to Annan, party secretary Ling Wei led four sets of team members to hold a grand welcome dinner for Wilson.

Seeing the enthusiasm of Annan officials, Wilson was smiling, but he couldn't hide the bitterness in his heart.

"Mr. Wilson, on behalf of all the members of Annan City, I would like to offer you a toast." The elegant and handsome secretary of the municipal party committee raised the glass first.

Wilson stood up hurriedly. From the contact just now, he had already seen the respect He Chaoyang had for his immediate boss.

"Thank you, Mr. Ling." There was red wine on the table, and Ling Wei didn't persuade him to drink it. Wilson immediately felt that Secretary Ling was very kind.

After the two had finished drinking, Wilson began to introduce the main members of his delegation to Ling Wei. Ling Wei nodded politely while listening to his introduction.

"Mr. Ling, this is the assessment specialist of the World Bank, Mr. Jansen."

"This is Mr. Jason's assistant, Miss Jennifer."

"Who is this……"

Holding a wine glass, Ling Wei toasted one by one. He had a handsome appearance, and his years of official career had tempered his dignified and peaceful demeanor. In addition, he spoke in a gentle manner, without the flattery, flattery and quick success of ordinary Chinese officials. The few people who came liked Ling Wei very much.

"I have a good impression of Annan's officials, especially Ling and He." Privately, Jason said.

"Oh, Ling is really a rare gentleman." Jennifer also had a good impression of this elegant oriental man.

"Since everyone has a good impression of Annan's officials, please start work as soon as possible." Wilson tried his best to suppress the calculations in his heart, and said with a smile: "Get the work done early, and we can go back."

After finishing this matter, Annan will not come if he is invited to this place!

"I've always been wondering, how did you trick Wilson over here?" Ling Wei asked He Chaoyang strangely after returning home at night.

"What is cheating!" Mayor He was dissatisfied, "He came here voluntarily!"

"Are you sure?" Secretary Ling raised his eyebrows.

"Can I lie to you?"

Secretary Ling shook his head and sneered, "I don't know if he lied to me, but I know that the old man laughed like he was crying when he saw you. What's wrong with you?"

"The thick-skinned old man, can I still bite him?"

"Don't tell me, right?" Secretary Ling was very calm, "I'm very tired today, you should go back first."

"How can that happen!" Mayor He said he was determined not to leave, "The secretary is drunk, I want to stay and serve all night!"

"I'm not drunk!"

"Everyone saw that you were drunk." Mayor He rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "Just let me stay. Whatever you want, I will definitely give it to you without reservation."

Secretary Ling listened attentively, why are these words so awkward?

Secretary Ling resolutely resisted, and Mayor He forged ahead.

After some back-and-forth contests, Secretary Ling realized that he had been hugged to bed by Mayor He.

"Speak the truth!"

"This is the business!" While speaking righteously, there is no taboo at the same time.

Secretary Ling groaned, and was picked up by Mayor He in a short while.

"I still have to negotiate with Wilson tomorrow!"

"It's okay, I'll deal with that old man alone, relax...I'm going in!"

"Ah!" Secretary Ling's neck was thrown back, and the slender neck formed a perfect arc. When Mayor He saw this scene, his eyes immediately turned green, and he threw himself on it regardless.

"Don't bite, it will leave a mark!"

"I don't bite," someone said vaguely on the ground, "I just lick."

This lick resulted in two red marks, Ling Wei was so angry that he kicked his foot, but He Chaoyang grabbed his ankle and moved even more violently.

For a while, only ambiguous whispers and the creaking of the bed board could be heard in the bedroom.

While swaying with He Chaoyang's impact, Ling Wei thought vaguely, didn't this mean that this bed was imported from Italy?Why is there still so much noise?

After the rain cleared away, He Zhaoyang carried Ling Wei into the bathroom to clean himself up, and the two of them were finally able to hold each other and talk for a while.

"What did you say?" The drowsy Ling Wei was startled all of a sudden, his eyes widened, he stared at He Chaoyang and said, "You gambled the money for road construction?"

During the dinner, Wilson initially revealed that the World Bank will provide Anshan Expressway with a loan of about 20 billion yuan.This is also the main reason why he came to Annan together with the evaluation commissioner of the World Bank.

Ling Wei always thought that He Chaoyang got the money through Ximu or some kind of relationship, but he didn't expect that the moment he opened his mouth, he said that the money came from gambling!

"I just made a small gamble with old man Wei." He Zhaoyang smiled and bit his ear.

"What's the bet?"

"Oil futures."

"Have you invested money?"

"No."

"Then what?" Ling Weike didn't know that He Chaoyang was making such a fuss, so he sat up and asked anxiously, "How did you gamble without investing money? You wouldn't use your own money to build a highway, would you?"

"Where are you thinking?" He Chaoyang hugged him back into his arms and comforted him, "Don't you know me yet? Business is business, and private is private. Maybe sometimes I have used private money to subsidize, but I don't know who I am. It's Xiaoqian, you know that, right?"

Ling Wei nodded. He was also in a hurry just now. He Chaoyang clearly distinguishes between public and private.A mayor, even if there are mountains of gold and silver in his family, it is also his own private property.Manage a city well, let the city develop, and the people gradually become richer, and the problem cannot be solved by distributing wealth.

Besides, using one's own money to pay for the public is by no means an act of selflessness, it only shows that the manager is extremely incompetent.

What kind of ability is it to rely on one's own family to manage one's own affairs in one's position.

"How did you fool Wilson?" Ling Wei figured this out, and asked wrapped in a quilt.

"I didn't fool around too much. I bet two futures with him." He Chaoyang said with a smile: "In the first bet, I bet up, and he bet down. In the end, I won."

"Then?"

"Then I gambled again, and he hesitated." He Chaoyang laughed and said, "He also gambled, but he didn't grasp the timing well, and I won again."

"He lost it?"

"I didn't lose the second one." He Zhaoyang continued, "But if he does what I say, he will earn at least 20 billion more."

"RMB?"

"No, dollars."

Ling Wei was dumbfounded, and when he came to his senses, he grabbed He Chaoyang, "You've already gambled, why didn't you put any money in!"

Damn, this can make a lot of money!

"It was you who said that public and private cannot be separated." Mayor He was aggrieved.

"Who thinks there is too much money!" Secretary Ling grabbed his shoulder and shook him violently.

Seeing that Secretary Ling was going to run away violently, Mayor He hurriedly hugged someone to comfort him and said, "I'm not trying to show my integrity. You see, my attack immediately stunned old man Wei!"

"What's the use of you shocking him! It would be great to spend so much money on road repairs!" Secretary Ling beat his chest and stamped his feet angrily.

"The money from futures speculation cannot be used to build roads, and how can I explain where the money comes from?" He Zhaoyang patted his head and said with a smile, "I made a bet with Old Man Wei just to follow the formalities. We signed a contract before the bet. We made an agreement that once his income exceeds the agreed amount, he will give us a guarantee at the World Bank, and the World Bank will provide us with a loan for road construction."

"He dares to sign this agreement?"

"After losing him in the first place, I dared to."

Secretary Ling breathed a sigh of relief, "This old man let you lie again."

"That's nothing!" Mayor He smugly asked for praise, "Your husband, it's easy for me to lure the old man into the bait! I really worked so hard, and I even didn't hesitate to sell my appearance!"

"Really?" Secretary Ling looked at him suspiciously, "As far as I know, he has been married for many years, right? Then who did you sacrifice your lust for?"

Mayor He is at a loss for words, let you owe me!

"Say it." Secretary Ling was very calm.

"I just blow it casually."

"Is this just a matter of bragging?" Secretary Ling narrowed his eyes, "You don't want to promise yourself if you lose a bet, do you?"

"Impossible!" Mayor He said that he refused to obey.

Secretary Ling sat on the bed calmly, looking at Mayor He calmly.

Mayor He's confidence was getting weaker and weaker. Under the cold gaze of Secretary Ling, he knelt down on the bed obediently and said cautiously: "I really owed it once."

"Ok?"

"I told Wilson that if I lost, I'd rather go to Wall Street and do a striptease!"

The corners of Ling Wei's mouth twitched. Seeing Mayor He's sincere eyes that did not seem to be fake, he suppressed the smile that welled up in his throat, "You dare to show my things to others, you are so brave!"

"Weiwei..."

The shirt, pants, and socks were all thrown on Mayor He.

"Get dressed, get out!"

"Weiwei..."

Mayor He begged for mercy with his butt naked, but Secretary Ling was determined to drive him away, so he put on his clothes in a hurry, without even socks, and was driven to the big tree by the window.

"Weiwei, my feet hurt."

Secretary Ling stood by the window, looked at Mayor He who was huddled in a big tree like a gorilla, and said calmly, "You can only learn the lesson when it hurts."

"You really let me climb down, at least pass me the ladder!"

Secretary Ling nodded, took the clothes drying pole by the window, and poked it unceremoniously.
