Spring Breeze 1991

For a long time, Xu Hui, the deputy mayor in charge of industry, commerce, agriculture, forestry, and science and technology, was the lowest-ranking deputy mayor. There was no factory in Huilong Town, and agriculture and forestry were half-dead, let alone science and technology. Sitting on the bench makes no difference.

The power in Xu Hui's hands is not even comparable to that of Zheng Hongyu, who is in charge of education and civil affairs. At least Zheng Hongyu has the special funds for education and civil affairs allocated by his superiors at his disposal.

When getting off work, Xu Hui walked past Yao Yuan's office with his hands behind his back. Yao Yuan, who was working in front of the windowsill, looked up. Xu Hui happened to look over and nodded to each other.

Yao Yuan continued to bury his head in his work, but Xu Hui stopped, turned around and walked to the door, and said with a smile, "Assistant Yao, are you busy?"

"Mayor Xu." Yao Yuan was a little surprised, and nodded with a smile, "I'm a little busy, please sit down."

In terms of office, Yao Yuan's office is undoubtedly the best. That's because Lin Xiaohu bought tables and chairs from the county and rearranged them.

Xu Hui looked at the office with great interest, and said with a smile, "Assistant Yao, use your own money to decorate the public place, but there is no way to reimburse it in the future."

We all know that Assistant Yao is rich, drives a BMW off-road vehicle worth RMB 40 to [-], can get in touch with a charity fund run by a big boss in Hong Kong, and is a cadre sent by the province, so everyone can let go of their imaginations.

I thought I was going to cross the gold, and after working for a year and a half, I had a basic work experience and left when the time was up. I didn't expect that after I took office, I would make big moves one after another.

Spending their own money to decorate the office, in everyone's opinion, is really not worth mentioning to Assistant Yao.

Yao Yuan poured Xu Hui a cup of tea, asked him to sit down on the sofa, and said, "The finances in the town are so difficult, don't mention the matter of reimbursement or not, I have never thought about it."

It was just a huatou, Xu Huimin took a sip of tea and praised, "The tea is good."

"The products of Maofeng Tea Company taste very good, and they are top-quality products exported to Europe." Yao Yuan laughed, not knowing what this insignificant deputy mayor wanted to say.

It is impossible to sit and chat, Xu Hui has never been to his office.

Xu Hui followed the topic and said, "You are busy attracting investment, right? I heard that Maofeng Tea and Jinzun Tea have decided to invest?"

"Well, the two companies have registered a joint venture company. They plan to contract 3000 mu of mountainous land to grow tea in this town, build a tea beverage factory, and invest another [-] million yuan to help us repair the Huilong Highway." Yao Yuan said with a smile.

Don't say it now, tomorrow the city and county leaders and the two bosses Mao Feng and Jin Jiu will announce that there will definitely be an on-site signing ceremony, but the town is not prepared for anything now.The county must have notified Guan Tianming, but Guan Tianming remained indifferent.

Xu Hui shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "Although I'm in charge of the economy, I haven't made any achievements over the years. Fortunately, you are here. Otherwise, what should I do for the more than 8 ordinary people in Huilong Town?"

"Mayor Xu, you must not say that." Yao Yuan said, "I am working under the leadership of the town committee, the town government, Mayor Guan and you. Besides, I am not alone in attracting investment. The result of a joint effort."

Xu Hui said with a smile, "Assistant Yao, everyone knows what's going on. The deputy mayor in my name is just an idle job."

He must have something to say, Yao Yuan smiled and waited for the next one.

Xu Hui is almost 40 years old. The age of 30 to 40 is the most important golden time in a person's career. His golden time is spent in Huilong Town.He was transferred from the county as an ordinary officer, and ten years later he became the deputy mayor and deputy department-level cadre. For others, he passed the most important first hurdle.

But for the first college student cadre in Huilong Town, his best years are over.

That's right, before Yao Yuan, the only college student cadre in Huilong Town was Xu Hui.

What Guan Tianming and others said about "there was a young cadre like you before" was referring to Xu Hui, but Xu Hui did not seek connections and apply for transfer like other young cadres, but stuck down and continued to fight, the result was obvious , he lost.

Xu Hui suddenly asked, "Assistant Yao, are you here to return to the more than 8 ordinary people in Long Town, or for political achievements?"

Very straightforward question.

Yao Yuan saw the clearness and magnanimity in Xu Hui's eyes. If there is anyone who falls asleep in the cadre team of Huilong Town, then Xu Hui is one.The others either fell asleep or pretended to be asleep.

"Mayor Xu, let me tell you the truth. My family is in business, and the business is very big. I graduated from Western Polytechnic University and am a graduate student. I have every chance to work in a ministry. At worst, I can stay in the province Here, I have no ambitions for an official career, I just want to do something for the common people to the best of my ability, and I think this is the natural mission of a party member and cadre." Yao Yuan said in a deep voice.

Xu Hui was silent for a while, and said, "Seven years ago, that is, in 1988, you should know the environment at that time. There were many foreign and Hong Kong-funded enterprises entering Huaxia. Huilong Town had many mountains and little land, but it was rich in water resources. At that time, I A Hong Kong-funded mineral water company was introduced, and the Hong Kong businessman planned to invest 300 million Hong Kong dollars to build a water plant in Huilong Town, but it failed in the end.”

300 million Hong Kong dollars is a large investment even now, let alone seven years ago in 1988.

As for why it failed, Yao Yuan guessed the reason.

Sure enough, Xu Hui said, "Mayor Guan had been the mayor for five years at that time, and he thought that such an investment was killing chickens to get eggs. He thought that after the title of national-level poverty-stricken town was removed, millions of dollars in poverty alleviation funds would be spent every year in the future. It’s gone, this is a stable income, investing in a factory may go bankrupt at any time.”

It's a weird reason, but it's a cruel reality.

"The situation at that time was almost the same as it is now. You and the mayor of Guan made it clear. Tomorrow, when the city and county leaders and business owners come, he will raise objections on the spot. You have to be mentally prepared." Xu Hui said in a deep voice.

Yao Yuan understands how Xu Hui became the deputy mayor who was sitting on the bench. He was in charge of education and civil affairs before he had real power.

Yao Yuan was very grateful that he could say these words, "Mayor Xu, thank you."

Xu Hui patted his knee lightly, and said, "A lot of time has been wasted, and now I don't know where to start if I want to do something. Assistant Yao, tell me the truth, you make me feel ashamed. Don't say too much, there is Just ask where you need help."

This is his attitude, he is on Yao Yuan's side.

Even so, among Yao Yuan's cadres who support foreign merchants to set up factories, there are only Xu Hui and Wang Yu, a depressed deputy mayor and a director of the Women's Federation. Compared with the forces supporting Guan Tianming, they are really insignificant up.

Even so, Yao Yuan was still very moved. Xu Hui's statement was a bet on his future career, which was not easy.
