Chapter 12: Finally Promoted

ed shirt and headed towards "Jiu Yuan Xiao Ye". 。On the road, he made two more calls. One was to a female teacher at Tianhuang Town Primary School who also lived in the county, and the other was to a...Today, Jinhui had the town's official vehicle take them down to the village. 。It says "Xia Cun" but it actually means "Shang Shan". 。An County is a landlocked county surrounded by mountains on three sides and a lake on one side. The Tiangyan mountain range enters the county from the southwest, dividing into two branches east and west like the long arms of a giant, embracing both sides of the county as if protecting a child. 。The Classic of Poetry says, "An and ji xi," this An county took one of the "an" characters from it to establish the county. 。In the distant past, this area was an ancient primeval forest covering the hills. Streams cascaded down waterfalls, and mountain lakes reflected the sunlight, making it a paradise on earth. 。When Xiao Zheng was young, accompanied by his grandfather and a white dog, he ran around the mountains and forests. Although he was just doing common things like gathering firewood and hunting wild chickens, he felt very free. 。Later, the town encouraged and the mountain villages collectively mined, causing the forests to be destroyed. Everywhere you could see billowing smoke and earth-shaking blasts. Wild animals fled, and streams were blocked. 。Xiao Zheng disliked this kind of behavior from the bottom of his heart! Having attended university and studied extensively in environmental management, Xiao Zheng believed that making money by destroying the environment was unsustainable and insecure. 。The future of mountain areas depends on restoring tranquility to the forests and returning green to nature. Humans and nature should coexist harmoniously, supporting and benefiting each other. 。However, when he got to town, he found that in real life, people didn't consider things in terms of right and wrong, but rather in terms of what was beneficial to them. 。This is beneficial, not for nature or the future, but for oneself and the present. 。Xiao Zheng, an ordinary civil servant, could exert how much influence He was powerless to change people's behavior. 。All he could do was constantly persuade Deputy Mayor Jin Hui to strengthen the safety management of the village's mines and look for opportunities to possibly shut them down. 。To date, the results have been meager. 。However, today Jin Hui proactively asked Xiao Zheng to go down the village together, which made Xiao Zheng wonder if Jin Hui had finally realized the seriousness of the problem and intended to take action As Santana 2000 approached Fengqixia Village, Xiao Zheng casually glanced out the window and discovered the landslide>>> 。At that time, "Xiaoyue"'s car was crushed here by the landslide rocks. 。Currently, the rocks have been cleared to the roadside, but there are no other protective measures on the mountain. If it rains heavily again someday, a landslide is very likely to happen again. 。Xiao Zheng turned to Jin Hui, who was sitting in the back seat, and said: "Mayor Jin, these mountainsides are very dangerous. The village must take measures to protect them. Even if the village doesn't have money, our town must contribute funds to solve this safety hazard." 。"I also want to solve this," Jin Hui sighed. 。Murakami definitely won't chip in. I also tried to get the town head, Guan, to agree, but he said that the finances are tight this year and even the town officials don't have enough money for meals. 。"Mayor Jin, this safety hazard is right there. We can't just ignore it! What if something like last time happens again What if we crush another Audi from the provincial city" Last time there were no casualties, but that doesn't mean we'll be so lucky next time." 。"Xiao Zheng, you always say that a landslide flattened all the Audi cars in the provincial city, but besides you, no one else has seen this happen!" Jin Hui said, "I think you're either seeing things or dreaming it." 。After this, don't mention this again. It makes it seem like the safety in our town is really a problem! There's a difference between a potential hazard and an actual accident. You can't say that our hazard is an accident; wouldn't that be bad for our reputationThis was a real accident, and it already happened! How come no one else noticed If I hadn't saved "Xiaoyue" that day, she wouldn't have invited me to dinner, or asked people to help her. Could it be that "Xiaoyue" had the crushed Audi disposed of and didn't report it to the local authorities That's possible. 。"Xiaoyue" is in business. 。Businesspeople, if they can solve it with money, they don't really care. 。。"The key issue is still money, isn't it" 。Who doesn't want to do more good deeds if they have money I absolutely wouldn't object if you could get your hands on some. 。"Should I go get the money" Xiao Zheng thought, "Then what do I need you, the deputy mayor, for" But he also thought, saying that would hurt Jin Hui's feelings too much, so he remained silent. 。All I could think was, when would I get a chance to talk to Mayor Guan myself Maybe he'd agree.

Of course, the chances of that were slim. 。Even the smallest things are worth a try. 。As soon as I arrived in Fengqi Village, the air was thick with smoke, making it hard to breathe. 。Along the way, the villagers' house doors were all tightly shut because they were afraid of the smoke getting into their homes. 。Villagers in Fengqi Village, if they hang their clothes outside to dry, will be able to shake off a layer of dust when they bring them in at night. 。Xiao Zheng knew that his family's Green Water Natural Village was also not doing well. They only opened the door twice a day, once to go to work in the morning and once to return home. The rest of the time, the doors to their house were always closed. 。Therefore, after graduating from university and starting work, although it was only over 10 miles from the town to his village, a less than half-hour drive by motorcycle, Xiao Zheng's parents would not allow him to live back in the village. They preferred him to stay in the old dormitory in town because the air was cleaner. 。

While their parents still live in such a terrible environment, and many relatives and friends from the village, as well as childhood companions, are also living in similar conditions, as a college graduate and a town official, I haven't been able to help them at all up to this day. 。When Xiao Zheng thought about this, he felt discouraged. 。Xiao Zheng originally thought Jin Hui would take him to inspect the mine and reiterate the requirements for rectification, urging the village to make improvements. 。By the time they arrived at Fengqi Village, village head Liu Jianming was already waiting downstairs. Upon seeing Jin Hui and Xiao Zheng, he greeted them: "Mayor Jin, Director Xiao, please come to my office for tea." 。"Secretary Xiao," the village head Liu Jianming's voice sounded, making Xiao Zheng very uncomfortable. 。Just a few days ago, Xiao Zheng waited outside Liu Jianming's office for two and a half hours. By dinner time, Liu Jianming only cared about going to dinner with the cement factory owner and completely ignored whether Xiao Zheng had eaten. 。Xiao Zheng said: "Liu Village Chief, I'm not 'Director Xiao,' I'm Xiao Zheng. You can call me Xiao." 。Seeing that Xiao Zheng was a bit stubborn, Deputy Town Chief Jin Hui smiled and said, "That's right, Xiao Zheng is no longer 'Director Xiao' now. In a few days, he will probably have to be called 'Councillor Xiao'." 。“That’s right, that’s right, I was wrong. It should be ‘Commissioner Xiao.’” 。Xiao Zheng was too lazy to correct it again, but he knew clearly in his heart that if he wasn't promoted in the end, Liu Jianming's address would immediately change to "Xiao Zheng" or "Xiao." 。As Jin Hui walked inside, he asked, "Is Secretary Ma here" Liu, the village head, replied, "Secretary Ma is out today, attending to something." 。"Jin Hui said: 'That's alright, the village chief is here anyway.'" 。"Liu, the village head, said: 'Mayor Jin, Secretary Ma is not here today. I'll treat you to lunch. In the past, whenever Secretary Ma was around, he always sat at the east end. Now that he's gone, I finally get to sit there!' " Jin, the town mayor, glanced at Liu and smiled, saying: 'No wonder, Liu, the village head, insisted on me coming to the village today. It turns out you want to sit at the east end!' "Xiao Zheng listened and understood why Jin Hui was so eager to come to the village today. It turned out that Liu had called Jin Hui and invited him for lunch. 。Xiao Zheng felt a bit dissatisfied. What was the point of eating and drinking all day If they had that money, why not reinforce the mountain or address the safety issues at the quarry

It's true that food is essential to people, but Xiao Zheng believed that as an official, whether a town official or a village official, the primary responsibility was to solve problems. 。If you've solved all the problems at hand, having a drink to relax occasionally isn't a bad idea. But if issues are still hanging over your head, even eating and drinking won't bring peace of mind. Will it truly feel relaxingeral times, Lü Lì's boss Fang also wanted to deal with Xiao Zhēng, but they were all miraculously resolved by Xiao Zhēng. 。Lü Li had never seen before, the county magistrate wanted to hit a cadre at t...
