Chapter 55: Riding the Wall

At 9:20 am on Monday morning, Wang Siyu pushed open the door of the conference room to attend the weekly county magistrate meeting. Because it was the first time to attend such a meeting, Wang Siyu deliberately took ten minutes in advance and sat down at the oval conference table. After waiting for most of the day, no one came in. He was a little puzzled. Yesterday, Ye Huasheng clearly informed that the meeting was held at 9:30, but why did he not even have a ghost until now...

He was hesitating whether to go out to take a look first, but the door of the conference room was pushed open. A middle-aged man in a black suit walked in from outside with sleepy eyes. This kind of brother Wang Siyu had never seen him before. He was about 42 or 3 years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a tall appearance, but a little bald, and a hint of fatigue in his face.

The man was surprised when he saw Wang Siyu sitting there. He stood by the door and hesitated for a moment, then walked over with his bag and sat silently at Wang Siyu's top position. Neither of them spoke, but just nodded with each other through eyes. This was just a greeting.

Wang Siyu suddenly remembered that at the dinner table that day, it was said that only one Deputy County Magistrate Cheng, who was responsible for contacting the bank, did not attend. It seemed that he was the man in front of him, but he still didn't know where he was.

In the huge conference room, only these two people sat and waited. At 9:40, Ye Huasheng and the other two walked in slowly and sat in the left seat.

Two or three minutes later, Wei Mingli and Zhang Zhenwu led a few people in a chat and laughed. After he sat down, he smiled at Wang Siyu from afar. Wang Siyu also nodded and smiled, thinking that the trick of pulling the tiger's skin as a banner was indeed effective. Wei Laoer should have known that Du Feng had taken action to mess with him, but whether it was the secretary or the old man who was hitting him, it was not something Wei Laoer could figure it out.

After everyone else arrived, Zou Hai slowly walked into the conference room. After sitting down, he smiled at Wang Siyu and joked: "County Magistrate Wang is here. This time we have eight deputy county magistrates. This is called the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea. Each of them shows their abilities. We all work together to strive to get to the next level this year."

Wang Siyu smiled and said nothing. He knew that with the size of Qingyang County, there were at most five deputy county magistrates. Even if his own staff was in the city and did not occupy the quota of the county, there should be at most six deputy county magistrates. It would definitely be unreasonable for one poor county to place eight deputy county magistrates, but this is not a problem for Qingyang County. West China Province has been a problem with many officials in recent years. The central government repeatedly requested the reduction of deputy, but when it was implemented in the local area, it became a vicious cycle of reducing deputy expansion and then reducing deputy expansion.

"County Magistrate Wang, you are attending the county magistrate's office meeting for the first time today. Let's say a few words, let's have a quarrel!"

Wei Mingli took advantage of Zou Hai's time to drink tea to grab the topic. As soon as he finished speaking, the deputy county magistrates around him applauded warmly. Zou Hai put down the teacup and nodded slightly, and Ye Huasheng and others also applauded.

Wang Siyu hurriedly gave in: "I am young and experienced. I come here to learn from all the leaders. I focus on learning and training. I can't tell you any tricks. But there is one thing. I will definitely work hard to complete the tasks assigned by County Mayor Zou and County Mayor Wei and do my job well."

Zou Hai glanced at Wei Mingli, smiled, lit a cigarette, and shook his head and said, "County Magistrate Wang is too modest. You are a cadre from the city and have a high theoretical level. Unlike some of our county cadres, who often talk and make jokes."

Wei Mingli knew that Zou Hai was mocking him, and was not angry. He squinted his eyes and said, "Mr. Wang, don't be humble. Everyone can see your abilities. To see how capable this person is, you have to first see how much he drinks. I think County Magistrate Wang can stand up to three."

Zou Hai laughed and followed his words and said, "Mr. Wang, County Magistrate Mingli is the cadre who admires the most to drink. He often says that the prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach, and the county magistrate must be able to hold a wine in his stomach. Among our deputy county magistrates, his alcohol tolerance is the top spot. You are here this time, but you will destroy his majesty. You will compete at the table next day. I think you might as well make a lottery. Whoever wins will be the executive deputy county magistrate. The loser will go to the village below to herd cattle."

The people in the room laughed loudly after hearing this. Wei Mingli picked up the cup and drank a tea, raised his right hand, wiped the hair on his forehead hard, crossed his legs, and grinned and said with a hearty smile: "County Magistrate Zou's proposal is good. I think it's all. I will have a good meal with Brother Wang. Anyway, I am not afraid of going to the village to herd cattle. Even if I, Wei Er, start from the village chief, can still become the deputy county magistrate in less than three years. If I don't have the confidence, what else can I do? Do you think?"

As soon as Wei Mingli finished speaking, the deputy county magistrates beside him nodded and echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, County Magistrate Wei's work ability is obvious to all."

Seeing that the two of them were fighting, Wang Siyu smiled and didn't say anything. Since they liked to play the trick of playing cattle across the mountains, he would do it honestly back to the mountains. He took his eyes and swept around the conference table and suddenly found a very interesting phenomenon. Zou Hai and the people who supported him were holding stainless steel cups, while Wei Mingli and others held crystal cups. The two sides were clearly distinguished, which was very good. The only thing that the man sitting next to him did not bring a teacup, and he drooped his head like an eggplant made from frost, as if he was dozing off with his eyes closed.

"Could this guy be in the same group as me, and he is also a fence-riding party?" Wang Siyu was very happy. He opened the bag and reached out to take out a cartoon cup full of tea from it, with Xi Yangyang and Big Big Wolf printed on it.

Wang Siyu's cup was left by Fang Jing. His original cup had already been thrown into the trash can by the little girl. At this moment, seeing everyone around him with surprise glances, Wang Siyu calmly took a sip of tea and slap his mouth, looking very enjoyable.

After the meeting officially began, Zou Hai first took out a stack of documents from his bag, which were the latest spirits sent by his superiors, and he had to learn and experience them at the meeting.

Other deputy county magistrates had these documents on hand, but before Wang Siyu got them, Ye Huasheng took his own portion and put them on Wang Siyu's table. Zou Hai coughed, looked around, and began to make a report in a straight voice. Wang Siyu was sitting upright like others, holding a sign pen in his hand, constantly drawing on the documents, and had to cough from time to time, pick up a cup to drink a sip of tea.

The document content is too much, and Zou Hai speaks too slowly. He has to stop every short paragraph and drink tea for a while. The worst thing is that he always adds some of his own understanding and experience. Sometimes he accidentally breaks the topic and then goes around in a big circle.

Wang Siyu felt a little impatient when he heard this, so he turned over the document and drew some ancient costume villains on the blank page on the back. One was Zou Hai riding a red rabbit horse and a green dragon and a moon knife to chop Huashan, while Wei Mingli rushed forward to block the mountain with a black horse dancing with a snake spear gun. Geng Biao and others beside him were holding eighteen weapons and killing each of them. Only he sat on the platform, feather fan and Lu Fengshu were majestic and handsome, and the dozing deputy county magistrate next to him looked like a boy, standing next to him carefully serving.

Wang Siyu was very good at painting and grasping the characters' features very accurately. From time to time, he looked up and saw that all of these people were drawn by him. When he was having fun, Zou Hai's report was finished.

The next few topics went very smoothly. Basically, after Zou Hai finished speaking, Wei Mingli added a few more words, and then everyone raised their hands to pass, and the matter was settled.

Wang Siyu's division of labor has finally been clarified. As Li Qingmei said, he assisted executive deputy county magistrate Wei Mingli in doing a good job in attracting investment, and was in charge of industrial and industrial economic operations. The units in charge include Qingyang Industrial Community, Industrial Operation Office, Small and Medium Enterprise Bureau, and State-owned Enterprise Reform Office.

On the last issue, Zou Hai and Wei Mingli had a major difference, that is, the economic development direction of Qingyang this year. This needs to be discussed at the county magistrate's office meeting first, and then reached a consensus before going to the Standing Committee. If it can be passed at the Standing Committee, it can be implemented at the three-level cadre meeting in the county. This issue is the focus of today's county magistrate's office meeting.

Wei Mingli's attitude is to maintain the original development model, continue to adhere to the development model of establishing a county in agriculture, promote plastic greenhouses in 14 townships across the county, and strive to build Qingyang into a production base that radiates the surrounding vegetables and fruits as soon as possible.

Zou Hai insisted on changing the original development ideas and proposed that it should be based on long-term development. Industrial enrichment of counties is the top priority. The experience of the past two years has proved that agricultural development has limited impact on Qingyang's economic leverage.

People from the two camps argued endlessly about this issue. Zhang Zhenwu was the first to fire the fire. He frowned and said, "County Magistrate Zou's starting point is good, and it works in theory, but it did not take into account the regional characteristics of Qingyang. Qingyang County does not have rich mineral resources. Heavy industry is poor and light industry, let alone light industry. Most manufacturing industries have been eliminated in the fierce market competition. More than 30 factories in the county have closed down 70%. Less than ten enterprises have less than 50%. It is a fantasy to talk about the development of industry in this case."

Wang Siyu couldn't help but nodded secretly. Zhang Zhenwu seemed to be a talent. He was the deputy county magistrate in charge of education, but he was also familiar with the situation in the industrial field. But when he thought about it, he felt that it was actually normal. After all, his wife Li Qingmei had been in the industrial field for two years.

When Ye Huasheng saw Zhang Zhenwu speaking, he grabbed his beard and fought back, saying that you had been working on agriculture and establishing counties for more than two years. As a result, after the county finance guaranteed wages, you squeezed out the little money from the gap between your teeth and used it to build greenhouses. It was nothing, but in the first year you didn't master enough technology. Pests were very easy to occur in greenhouses with high temperature and high humidity. You didn't care. You went out to play for two months under the banner of inspection. After coming back, you drew a cat and tiger. In the end, the pests were seriously damaged. Several pilot townships suffered serious losses. Vegetable farmers came to the county party committee and government every day, and finally compensated them for a large amount of losses. The problem of pests was solved in the second year, and a big harvest came. However, the vegetable prices fell sharply last year, and cucumbers were sold at a bargain price. Foreign vendors were unwilling to come down to buy them, and the vegetables could only rot into the vegetable fields. Otherwise, they would have to pay for the freight when they went out to sell.

The deputy county magistrate in charge of agriculture is Wei Mingli. He sneered when he heard this, and turned the crystal teacup and mocked: "If you invest money in agriculture, you can at least see seedlings coming out of the field. If you invest it in industry, the machine will be blown away and you can't even see a ghost. Besides, poor logistics used to be a big bottleneck that affects vegetable sales. Now the expressway is under construction, and it should be opened when the autumn harvest is over. It is fundamental to establishing a county in agriculture, and there is no doubt."

Geng Biao, assistant county magistrate, put the stainless steel teacup in his hand on the table, rolled up his sleeves and said, "I invested in your agriculture and only saw the blossoms but didn't see the fruits. The agriculture that has been in operation for two years has not increased its fiscal revenue, but has lost more than 5 million yuan. It would be better to send it to farmers as a subsidy if you have that money. What you are doing now does not follow the market rules at all."

Someone from Wei Mingli stood up and retorted: "Developing agriculture is the hard truth. Even if it is not good, it can solve the problem of people's clothing and food. Although our county is poor and famous, hasn't it been starved to death because of hunger? What is this relying on? It's not relying on agriculture!"

Wang Siyu heard them verbally and the fight was red and his hands were constantly under his hands. On the blank paper, the deputy county magistrate shot a round with a machine gun, and the deputy county magistrate appeared and fired a cold arrow. He felt that this time the office was interesting. He had never seen it in the city before. This time he had a lot of knowledge. He knew that on the surface, he was arguing about which path to take, but in fact he was grabbing the right to allocate financial funds.

Seven pairs of chopsticks and three pieces of meat, everyone was jealous of them. It would be strange if they didn't fight or rob them. However, Wang Siyu speculated that Zou Hai should have other ideas, otherwise the industry would be under his control, so he had no reason to fight with Wei Mingli, and his face turned thick and thick. After all, he was not Zou Hai's person yet.

Wang Siyu closed his eyes and thought for a while, and found the clues. He suddenly remembered that Xiang Zhongyuan was talking a lot at the city conference some time ago, saying that industry strengthened the city and enriched the city. It must be that Zou Hai had figured out the tune of Mayor Xiang and played the industrial card with his heart. Unfortunately, Wei Mingli did not cooperate below and sang the opposite tune with him.

Wang Siyu thought it was ridiculous. In fact, the problem was very simple. Zou Hai only wanted a tone. After setting the tone, he estimated that he would do the following jobs. What he wanted was Mayor Xiang's appreciation. As for the industry in Qingyang County, it was difficult to recover. If he wanted to revitalize the existing stock and cultivate financial resources, he had to gain a large amount of capital investment. It would be impossible to make any waves relying on the special support funds allocated by the county finance and the province and city.

Wang Siyu thought about the matter clearly and felt more at ease. He sat there drinking tea and drawing cartoons, watching the people on both sides arguing. The deputy county magistrate in a black suit next to him was quieter than him. He simply fell on the chair with his eyes closed and dozed off. If it weren't for the loud noise in the conference room, he would have snored.

"It's better to be a fence-mounted party, comfortable!" Wang Siyu couldn't help but sigh. In addition, he admired the man beside him. The only people in the room were left to ride on the fence. He was new and it was understandable that this man could remain neutral for so long, without a Taoist practice.

When everyone was a little tired of arguing, Zou Hai knocked on the table hard, and the room became quiet for the time being. They followed the red-eyed rooster, waiting for the next wave of attacks. Wei Mingli looked as if he was sure to win, without raising his head or slanting his eyes, staring at the crystal cup in front of him, as if it was not a teacup, but a fish tank with a few small goldfish in it, and was tossing happily.

"County Magistrate Wang, come and talk." Since the beginning of the meeting, County Magistrate Zou Hai has been paying attention to Wang Siyu's performance and found that he kept circled around the paper with a very focused expression. At this time, he saw that he stopped writing and looked confident, and wanted to hear the opinions of the new deputy county magistrate. After all, in terms of number of people, he was obviously at a disadvantage. Even if he used the power of the top leader of the government and forced himself to pass, when he arrived at the Standing Committee, Wei Mingli shot another shot, and he was charged with arbitrary behavior. Seeing that guy was abnormal and lazily, he seemed to have set up a trap for himself to get into it.

Seeing Zou Hai calling out, everyone on the table turned their eyes to Wang Siyu, wanting to see which plan the young deputy county magistrate would agree with. Even Wei Mingli left the crystal cup and turned his eyes with a smile. Only the one next to Wang Siyu still had clear saliva flowing from the corner of his mouth, and was sleepy.

Seeing that all the eyes around him were swept over, Wang Siyu took a moment of thinking and drew two round and plump big breasts on the back of the document. Then he spoke in an extremely calm tone: "I agree with everyone's opinion. Industry and agriculture are important. We must grasp both hands and both hands must be hard."
