…………………………………………

I was very unhappy in Yiyang Hotel just now, so Hou Weidong was tired of hearing someone ask him to sing, let alone Liu Kun and Duan Ying invited him to sing, and he said with a sorry look: "I drank too much today and felt dizzy, so I'll talk about it another day."

Duan Ying knew that Hou Weidong had no place to stay in Yiyang, and she must stay in a hotel alone. Thinking of this, she felt some sympathy and a hint of tenderness in her heart for no reason. However, the complex feelings could only be buried in her heart. She still waved goodbye to Hou Weidong with Liu Kun.

When she passed by, she couldn't help but look back. When she saw Hou Weidong getting into a taxi, she felt a little disappointed.

Liu Kun was very excited, and he said, "I went to Shazhou to have fun on Sunday, and I went to the Transportation Bureau to borrow a car."

Duan Ying said angrily: "I have to sleep in on Sundays and I don't want to go anywhere."

Liu Kun had a first-class temper and patience in front of Duan Ying, and said, "At noon, I'll invite you to eat fish. A new fishing restaurant has been opened near the Transportation Bureau, and it tastes pretty good."

Duan Ying refused Liu Kun's pursuit, so he stopped refusing and said, "I know that fishing restaurant. I will go there directly at eleven o'clock."

Hou Weidong got into the taxi and soon arrived at the guesthouse of Shazhou College. The guesthouse has been in the past few years. The facilities are relatively old, but they are more quiet and tidy. He lay on the bed of the guesthouse and looked at the ceiling for a while. His annoyance gradually calmed down.

"How should I go about the future? What am I pursuing?"

He silently thought about some complicated life problems. After six months of leaving school, he was like a kite with broken strings floating in the air, without a foundation or a goal.

"Cultivate yourself, manage your family, govern the country, and pacify the world." This is the life motto of Chinese intellectuals. Hou Weidong admits that he is not an intellectual, but he still has a strong sense of worldly accession in his subconscious. In Yiyang and Wuhai, where the economy is not very developed, a man succeeds, only one measure is how big the official is. Hou Weidong participated in Yiyang's public recruitment of party and government cadres. After all, he also wanted to realize the value of life in the officialdom. Now, half a year has passed, but he has been carried into the deep pool of Shangqinglin. He swam desperately, and could vaguely see the other side, but he could never step onto the real land.

After thinking about it for a long time, Hou Weidong clarified his thoughts again: "I am just a small person. I am too far away in governing the country and pacifying the world. Now I can only cultivate myself and manage my family. The most urgent goal is to find a way to transfer to Shazhou within three years."

This is a very practical goal, and although there is no clue to mobilize, Hou Weidong did not want to give up.

The next day, Hou Weidong intentionally indulged himself. He slept in pain and didn't get up until half past ten. When he returned to Qinglin Town in a slow bus as old cow, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Hou Weidong was preparing to report to Su Ming. After all, County Mayor Ma stated that he would pay one million. What should he do next? He still had to ask clearly. He fryed two dishes in a restaurant outside Qinglin Town, ate them voraciously, and then entered the town government.

Several people sat in Su Ming's office, and smoke was surging inside. When he saw Hou Weidong appear outside the house, he said, "Hou Weidong, it's just right here, I'm just about to find you."

Su Ming introduced to Hou Weidong: "This is Secretary Yang, Director Ling, and Li Wenshu of Hongheba Village, and this is Hou Crazy who builds roads."

Secretary Yang threw a cigarette to Hou Weidong and continued to tell Su Ming: "The main reason why Hongheba Village has no roads is needed. Although a bridge is actually only 12 or 3 meters in span, the cost is not more than 200,000 yuan. Mayor Su, the village is in Qinglin, which means that there is no road construction in our village. Since the winding mountain roads on Qinglin can be built, the town must also consider building the roads in Hongheba Village. The palms and backs of hands are full of meat, and a bowl of water is needed to serve the same."

Su Ming looked at Secretary Yang who was a little excited and said, "Building Qinglin Highway, the town actually didn't pay a penny. Hou Weidong knew the best about the road construction. Let him tell you something."

Only then did Hou Weidong realize that the village cadres in Hongheba also wanted to build roads. He did it with one hand and one step. He just told the village cadres about the road construction process one by one.

After introducing the situation, Mayor Su added another sentence: "The town is indeed short of funds. When going to Qinglin Highway, it mainly depends on the members' work and labor, including the Qingmu fee, which are all the contributions made by the villagers."

Secretary Yang didn't say anything for a long time. He took a few puffs of cigarettes before saying, "Yesterday I took the village cadres and walked along the Qinglin Highway. The road was indeed well built, and eight culverts were built."

Hou Weidong smiled with a sense of accomplishment and said, "Culcus is an indispensable facility on the road, mainly used for drainage. There are many ravines on Qinglin Mountain. As long as it rains, mountains and rivers will be produced. Culcus is indispensable. Eight are actually not enough."

Secretary Yang looked at Hou Weidong for a long time before saying, "Su Town, I have a request. When the Qinglin Highway is repaired, Hou Crazy will come to our village. We will strive to build the Honghe Bridge in 1995."

Su Ming was very happy when the village had this enthusiasm and said with a smile: "Okay, when the Qinglin Highway is completed, Hou Weidong will be transferred to Hongheba Village."

Being valued and respected is everyone's spiritual need. After listening to Secretary Yang's words, Hou Weidong also felt satisfied in his heart and said, "Thank you, Secretary Yang, for looking down on it."

When the village cadres in Hongheba left, Su Ming closed the office door and said, "What happened yesterday." Looking at Su Ming's sudden serious expression, Hou Weidong couldn't figure it out for a moment and said, "Master Su, I don't know what you said."

"Yesterday, Mayor Qin and you went to see County Mayor Ma. What did you talk about?"

Hou Weidong said yesterday.

Su Ming complained. "These two leaders do not communicate with each other, and now they are like this. It's really troublesome." He told Hou Weidong: "Zhao Yongsheng just called the town chief Gao and asked you to arrive at the town government at four o'clock no matter what, and wait a while to discuss the matter of going to Qinglin Highway."

The meeting was held on time at four o'clock.

An oval table was installed in the conference room, including Zhao Yongsheng, Qin Feiyue, Jiang Xingcai, Su Ming, Chao Fatty, Tang Shugang, and two middle-aged people who could not name themselves. This was the first time that Hou Weidong participated in the joint meeting of the party and government of the town government. He was not qualified to sit on the round table, but sat on a row of chairs in front of the wall. He was a little nervous because Zhao Yongsheng and Qin Feiyue's faces were covered with a layer of frost.

Zhao Yongsheng presided over the meeting, and he first talked about two irrelevant things. Soon, he went straight to the theme of today's meeting, "Yesterday, Township Mayor Gao and I visited Gao Zhiyuan, Director of Shazhou People's Congress, and asked him to come forward to do his work and incorporate the Qinglin Highway into the key transportation construction project in 1994. Gao Zhiyuan is an old leader of Qinglin Town. He agreed without hesitation and called Secretary Zhu of the County Party Committee in front of us."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yongsheng paused intentionally for a while, suddenly raised his voice and said, "Director Gui Gang called me this morning and asked what the Qinglin Town team was like." He glanced at Qin Feiyue with his eyes and said, "Secretary, the mayor's pace is not uniform. On the same day, one person asked the county magistrate to report, and the other person asked the secretary to report. What does this mean? Mayor Qin, you have done this matter without considering it."

Qin Feiyue didn't give in. He said, "I am the top administrative leader. It is normal for me to go to the county to strive for key projects."

Zhao Yongsheng was very angry and said angrily: "Master Qin, you know that I went to find Gao Zhiyuan, why didn't I wait for one more day? I had to go to find County Ma on the same day. What does this mean? We have different opinions, which is also different views in our work. We can negotiate within the team. If you do this, you are actually exposing your opinions to the county leaders, and you still talk about unity or the overall situation."

He turned his head to look at Hou Weidong and said mercilessly: "Hou Weidong, young people should work honestly, think about engaging in battle every day, and get into trouble whenever they are in trouble, and end up not having a good ending."

Hou Weidong didn't expect Zhao Yongsheng to suddenly open fire at him. He rushed up blood and wanted to refute it on the spot, but he forced himself to poke the notebook hard with a pen.

Zhao Yongsheng criticized Hou Weidong, which was actually a shocking threat, and said: "Secretary Jiang, tomorrow, will be removed from Hou Weidong's position as deputy leader of the working group. Now college students are too disrespectful, do not understand rules, and do not speak ethical."

Hou Weidong was a young man after all, and he didn't understand that Zhao Yongsheng's blade was actually pointing at Qin Feiyue. He could no longer control himself. He raised his head and said word by word: "Secretary Zhao, what kind of person am I? The masses have their own opinions. As the secretary of the party, you have no right to speak without investigation. Is it very majestic to abuse your power?"

Su Ming liked Hou Weidong very much from the bottom of his heart. Seeing that he was rude, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Hou Weidong, go out." He walked to Hou Weidong, took Hou Weidong's hand and pinched it hard, and whispered: "Say a few words, go back to Qinglin first, I'll come up tomorrow."

Hou Weidong's anger actually accumulated in his heart for a long time, and today he finally found a hole and vented it.

Zhao Yongsheng was so angry that he was overwhelmed by Hou Weidong's words that he said to Qin Feiyue: "The Party Committee of Qinglin Town, administration is a whole, and major decisions must be approved by the Party Committee. Major matters involving the entire town cannot be decided without authorization, and must be studied by the Party Committee."

Qin Feiyue's heart was so bright. Zhao Yongsheng was so angry that yesterday's incident was just an inducement. The most substantial problem was in township enterprises. Zhao Yongsheng should take the opportunity to strengthen the power of his party secretary and regain the decision-making power over township enterprises.

He said lightly: "Secretary Zhao, at the joint meeting of the Party and the government today, we have something to do. What do you bring a young man in to do is too ungrace and not very reasonable. If you really think I'm doing something wrong with this, I can write a check. However, I don't know what the check content is written. Please help me refer to it."

He said word by word: "The inspection book, I, Qin Feiyue, the mayor of Qinglin Town Government, reported to the county magistrate without obtaining the consent of the Party Secretary, which seriously violated the organizational principles."
