The next day.
In the morning, the wind is calm and the sun is beautiful.
The reporter from Xinhua News Agency was expected to arrive in Yantai County at 9:30, so Dong Xuebin got up early and rushed to the China Merchants Bureau compound after breakfast. He held an impromptu meeting with the office and repeatedly gave instructions. Taking Guo Panwei, he drove the Camry to the county party committee compound alone. Zhao Xinglong and several staff from the county government office were already ready. As soon as Dong Xuebin arrived, Zhao Xinglong asked the government office staff to go downstairs to prepare the car. He and Dong Xuebin went to Deputy Secretary Cao Xupeng's office together. .
Ten minutes later.
Zhao Xinglong looked at his watch, "It's half past nine, it's almost time to arrive." Cao Xupeng behind the desk said: "Xiao Dong, is there any problem with the schedule?" "No problem, don't worry." Dong Xuebin took it He took out the route list and took a look at it. "Several items have been arranged. Everything will be fine."
Ring ring ring, Zhao Xinglong’s cell phone rang.
Zhao Xinglong touched his pocket casually and picked up the phone, "Hey, it's me... what's wrong? What? Where have you gone?" His face sank slightly, "Where exactly? What time did you arrive? Well, well... ...Okay, I understand." After hanging up, Zhao Xinglong looked unhappy and said to Cao Xupeng: "I just received the news that the comrades from Xinhua News Agency did not come to the county committee and went directly to the project site after arriving in Yantai County. We were interviewing the situation, and we were going to visit the new pork processing plant brought in by China Merchants Group. The land has just been laid out for construction. What’s there to see there?” Cao Xupeng frowned, “He didn’t even say hello. Isn’t it making trouble?”
"It seems to me that the visitor is a bit evil?" Zhao Xinglong said.
Dong Xuebin was also annoyed. He didn't expect that this group of reporters would be so cunning as to put the county leaders away. "These people are big enough. If they don't come to the county committee, are we going to greet them? What?" What do you mean? Do you really think of yourself as the leader of the central government?" Cao Xupeng stood up with a sullen face and said, "Let's go, he is so arrogant" and doesn't take our county seriously. "
Zhao Xinglong and Dong Xuebin followed Cao Shuji downstairs.
Dong Xuebin knew that this was not a matter of airs or not, it was the most basic courtesy. Since the provincial Xinhua News Agency branch had notified the interview, it was a so-called "visit" that the etiquette required the leaders of relevant departments to accompany them. If they didn't want to In this case, how about just making an unannounced visit without notifying me? Now that the notification is over, you haven’t even said hello to the county committee and government, so you’re going to do some work on your own? Are you kidding us
On the way.
Dong Xuebin called Liang Zeyuan, the owner of the processing plant, and said, "Hello," Mr. Liang, I'm Dong Xuebin. ", "Oh, Director Dong, I just wanted to call you. Liang Zeyuan said: "Why are there so many reporters coming to the processing plant?" Or from Xinhua News Agency? I was at the site. I rushed over after hearing what the workers said. Now the three reporters caught the construction workers and asked them, not knowing what they were doing. "Is this arranged by the Investment Promotion Bureau? If so, I will fully cooperate, Brother Dong." I must give you some face, haha.”
Dong Banbin briefly explained the matter to him.
Liang Zeyuan frowned and said: "You mean these people came here for an unannounced visit? Isn't this delaying our construction?" "I'm sorry, Lao Liang." Dong Xuebin said: "We didn't know beforehand. If we know, just tell us You said hello."
"It's okay." Is there anything else we can talk about? Well, Huaxing, I'll try to get the workers to cooperate. Anyway, everything will be fine. Haha, I understand. "Ever since Dong Xuebin drank three bottles of Maotai in one go." Liang Zeyuan later drank alone with Dong Xuebin. The two became very close, so Liang Zeyuan must give him this face.
It's ten o'clock sharp.
The county's cars gradually drove into the pre-construction area of the pork processing plant on the outskirts of the city.
Part of the funds have just been received, and the cold storage is in the early stages of construction. It is still a bare land here, with only some materials, sediment, etc. lying on the surface.
After getting off the car, Cao Xupeng led the team up.
Liang Zeyuan on the construction site saw them first and walked over quickly, "County Magistrate Zhao, Director Dong." Dong Xuebin introduced: "This is County Party Committee Secretary Cao."
Liang Zeyuan suddenly understood and immediately shook hands and greeted them one by one.
"The people who were talking to a construction worker in the back turned around when they heard the voice, and turned around without asking the worker any more questions.
Dong Xuebin looked them over. There were three people in the group, two women and one man. All three were relatively young, about 27 or 27 years old. The two female comrades from Xinhua News Agency both wore name badges. One of them was named Wang Na. One of them is Wang Ting, both from the provincial Xinhua News Agency branch. They are not particularly good-looking, but have a sweeter temperament. The other young man does not have a badge, so he is presumably from the Xinhua News Agency headquarters that County Magistrate Zhao mentioned. , this time I came here with his former classmate on the way to the province to meet friends, but I don’t know who his classmate is.
Cao Xupeng stretched out his hand lightly and said, "On behalf of the Yantai County Party Committee, I welcome the comrades of Xinhua News Agency." "Hello, Secretary Cao." Wang Na and Wang Ting* shook hands with him respectively.
After getting to know each other, Dong Xuebin found out that the young man's name was Li Shengbin. He was a reporter from the domestic news editorial department of Xinhua News Agency. He was a very decent man. However, Dong Xuebin noticed that when he introduced himself as the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau, Li Shengbin was deeply moved. Glancing at himself, that look made Dong Xuebin very unhappy.
Zhao Xinglong was also feeling uncomfortable with them, but he didn't reveal it, "What aspect of work do you want to focus on this time?" Wang Na said: "It doesn't matter, I just walked around and took a look. No, in the morning I passed by here when I was driving here, and I just wanted to check it out. I didn’t want to disturb the leaders. The work of recruiting investment is hard. This time we interviewed several counties in depth and learned about it, so we didn’t go to the county committee. Well, I asked the leaders to come over, which made us feel embarrassed. I'm sorry." She smoothed things over.
Cao Xupeng smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it's all for work."
After saying a few words, Zhao Xinglong told several reporters: "Director Dong is in charge of this pork processing plant project. If you need to know anything, you can ask him."
Wang Ting was holding a camera and a notebook, and seemed to be responsible for taking pictures and recording.
Wang Na seemed to be the leader of the provincial branch. Looking at Dong Xuebin, she smiled and said: "Okay, I was just about to ask. I just found out about it. It seems that this processing plant is a new project, right? The review has not been approved yet. ?", the string of words before was considered human, but as soon as this sentence came out, both Cao Xupeng and Zhao Xinglong frowned, and they keenly felt that the other party did not come to interview, but to find fault.
Li Shengbin also squinted and said, "Isn't it against the procedure to build a factory without approval?" Dong Xuebin looked at her and said lukewarmly: "The land has been approved, but the factory construction is still being done. This kind of The situation is not special, because considering the specific situation of the investors and Yantai County, generally such projects are approved while being built, which can be regarded as a preferential benefit for investors. If the investment is in place and then the approval from above is completed, A month or two has passed, and investors can’t wait, can they?”
Li Shengbin looked at him and said, "Director Dong has complaints about the review speed of the approval department?" Dong Xuebin's face changed slightly, "Reporter Li, I didn't say that, did I?" Numb, what kind of shit basin are you going to hold for me
Li Shengbin looked at Wang Ting, and Wang Ting took a pen and wrote down everything in her notebook.
"Doesn't this need to be recorded?" Dong Xuebin was annoyed.
Li Shengbin said with a smile: "We are just asking casually, there is no other meaning." Seeing Wang Ting still writing, Dong Xuebin gradually became angry. Although Li Shengbin has an unusual status, this time The interview task was led by the provincial branch. You, a member of the head office, only accompanied your classmates on the way to visit relatives. Strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with this interview at all. You are an unrelated person... It doesn't matter who's turn it is to speak. You, are you still showing off to me? We have worked hard to attract investors to the county to contribute to economic construction. You are so damn good, but you will just use your mouth to pour cold water on us and find trouble. What do you mean
After walking around the construction site, Li Shengbin and Wang Na asked several more sensitive questions within ten minutes, but some good aspects were not asked or recorded at all.
Dong Xuebin's face became worse and worse.
After the interview here was over, several people got in the car.
Before leaving, Liang Zeyuan pulled Dong Xuebin aside and said uneasily: "Brother Dong, will there be a problem? I have found the materials and workers. If those Xinhua News Agency guys cause something, , If we see the report, will we be asked to stop the factory and wait for approval? We have invested all the money, and if we stop for one day, we will lose one day.”
Dong Xuebin quickly comforted him and said, "Laoliang, it's absolutely fine. Don't worry."
Liang Zeyuan glanced at the three people's car coldly, "These people, it's a good thing, but if they mess with it, it will turn ugly!"
Back in the car, Dong Xuebin took a breath and said: "Secretary Cao, County Magistrate Zhao, is this still called an interview? I think this is the leader's inspection! Especially Li Shengbin, what does he have to do here? He followed What's involved? The investors are all panicking. If the interview continues like this, we won't be able to carry out the work. It's a good thing if the investors don't divest. Are they trying to drive away all the investors?" Zhao Xinglong said. :, "Keep your voice down.", "Don't blame Xiao Dong for being anxious." Cao Xupeng's face was also calm, "These Xinhua News Agency people are a bit unreasonable. In the past, the interview work was not so difficult. According to me, We in Yantai County may have offended someone. It seems that some people don’t want us to have an easy time.” Zhao Xinglong clenched his fists and said, “I think so.” When the schedule was changed, Cao Xupeng felt something was wrong and contacted a few more people. Cao Xupeng felt that it was necessary to report the reporter's attitude to the [Secretary], otherwise he might be disgraced by these reporters. These negative news must not be published, otherwise no one would dare to invest in their county!
