Gu Shiguang was obviously stunned, looked at Li Yi with an incredulous expression, and then turned his head to look at Zou Zhijun.

Obviously, before he came, he didn't know that Li Yi would also be present at this banquet.

Zou Zhijun came over and said with a smile: "Mayor Li, this is Comrade Gu Shiguang from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee......"

Li Yi said: "Vice Minister Gu, I know. You invited him here? ”

Zou Zhijun didn't know the quarrels and contradictions between Li Yi and Gu Shiguang at all, and introduced with a smile on his face: "Mayor Li, Minister Gu and I have a friendship with fellow villagers, and I invited him over today to take advantage of this rare opportunity, so that everyone can get together and get closer to the organization." ”

Li Yi understood that Zou Zhijun had good intentions, and inviting one more deputy minister of the Organization Department to suppress the battle would only be beneficial to what he wanted to do today. The comrades of the Department of Communications and the Poverty Alleviation Office will also sell face even more.

However, Zou Zhijun didn't know that there was a grudge between Li Yi and this Gu Deputy Minister!

Li Yi is a person who focuses on the overall situation, since he is the person invited by Zou Zhijun to help, no matter what happens between himself and Gu Shiguang, he will take care of the overall situation and will not quarrel with Gu Shiguang here.

"Vice Minister Gu, welcome to this banquet held by Mianzhou zhèngfǔ." Li Yi said with a calm expression.

Gu Shiguang twitched the corner of his mouth, and with a hum, the shelf was full. It seems that if he can come, it is for the officials of Mianzhou

Gao Hongye is the highest-ranking official here, and naturally has become the center point around everyone.

Everyone is a figure in the official face of Xichuan. They are familiar with each other, even if they haven't seen each other, they have heard of it, and getting together today because of Mianzhou can be regarded as a kind of fate.

Gao Hongye is the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and the official frame is actually quite big, so in this kind of public occasion, it is natural to put up a shelf. He shook hands with the crowd one by one, and then took his seat on the throne of the upper seat.

Vice Governor Song Youlin naturally sat on Gao Hongye's left.

Gu Shiguang of the Organization Department, Wu Hanzhang, director of the Provincial Department of Communications, and Yu Renxuan, director of the Poverty Alleviation Office, are all leaders at the level of the main department, but the Organization Department is a party committee organ and the mother of the cadres. Therefore, Gu Shiguang sat on the right side of Gao Hongye. Wu Hanzhang and Yu Renxuan were respectfully accompanied. The other comrades took their seats.

Li Yi is the master. Sit on the Lord's seat.

The other comrades took their seats in the deputy seats, and the driver and secretary took their seats at the square table.

As soon as everyone saw today's shelf, they knew that this was a work banquet.

The level of this banquet is still quite high, the deputy position of the provincial party committee, the deputy position of the provincial zhèngfǔ, the deputy position of the organization department, plus the main position of the transportation department and the poverty alleviation office. There is also the principal and deputy position of the zhèngfǔ in Mianzhou City, which can be described as a full house.

Such a camp. In Xichuan Province, it can be regarded as a powerful shili.

Gao Hongye looked at these people from the corner of his eye. knew Li Yi's intention to invite him here today.

When the other comrades saw this situation, they naturally understood that since they came to this banquet today, they would definitely ask them for money and projects, and as for whether or not to give and how much to give, it would depend on the situation of the next banquet.

Although so many provincial leaders have come, what is the relationship between these leaders and these officials in Mianzhou City? It remains to be seen how good it will be.

After all, it's just a work banquet, no matter who the banquet is, most of these leaders will attend, but if you attend, how much support you can give, it's not necessarily.

On behalf of Mianzhou City, Li Yi expressed his sincere thanks to the leaders for their arrival and toasted everyone with a glass of wine.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone's topic slowly chatted.

Li Yi gave his subordinates the task, so while drinking, he talked about the funds.

Wu Hanzhang of the Department of Communications and Yu Renxuan of the Poverty Alleviation Office are naturally the targets of flattery from the comrades in Mianzhou City, and today they mainly want to get some funds from them!

Li Yixian, Gao Hongye and Song Youlin expressed their gratitude to them, thanking them for taking the time to attend this banquet in their busy schedules.

"Director Wu, Director Yu, I invite you here today mainly to thank you for your care for Mianzhou." Li Yi said: "Mianzhou can have such achievements today without the help of the two directors. I am the new mayor and I hope that you will continue to support us in Mianzhou in the future. ”

Wu Hanzhang squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "This is easy to say, what should be given, we will definitely give it." ”

Yu Renxuan said: "Mayor Li, your people also came to me today, I'm really ashamed, it's approaching the end of the year, and the funds in the office have been divided up, and now it's empty." I really want to help, but I don't have the money, and I'm also a good woman who can't cook without rice. ”

Li Yi thought to himself, you are all shirking! If you don't let go, won't I be blind at this banquet? Thinking that this had to be broken one by one, he first said to Wu Hanzhang: "Director Wu, it is impossible for your Department of Communications to be without money, right?" We have all heard about the funds given by zhōngyāng. ”

Wu Hanzhang said: "zhōngyāng gave a little money, but the monks have more porridge and less porridge, and it is not enough to spend at all." There are so many urban areas below, everyone comes to ask us for money! This traffic work, no more than others, building roads and bridges, are all big projects, and you have to pay millions of dollars at every turn, if you give less, a bridge can only be built a bridge. Therefore, it is impossible to divide the funds, and it cannot be said that we will build a few kilometers of roads this year, and build two bridges first, and next year, when the funds come down, we will share a little more money, build a few miles of roads, and build a few more bridges. ”

Everyone laughed. I didn't expect this Wu Hanzhang to speak quite humorously.

Wu Hanzhang saw that everyone was laughing, and he became energetic, and said: "So, our funds have to be cost-effective, and there must be indicators for road construction. You have to let people finish the road and bridge, right? But there is only so much money, only a few roads and bridges can be built, and if this money is given to others, then there will be no other cities. ”

Li Yi said: "Director Wu is right, we understand the difficulties of the Department of Transportation, so we are not so greedy, we have to ask for a large amount of money." Leaders, Mianzhou is poor! I'm sure everyone knows this, but you don't know how poor Mianzhou is. ”

"Beiqiang County, that's a big county where ethnic minorities gather! That place is high and densely forested, and it is difficult to walk on the road, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky! I went there not long ago, between the two cliffs, with an iron rope, with a bamboo basket hanging, the villagers who come and go, rely on this as a means of transportation! Even those dolls who have just gone to school ride this to school. ”

"We came here today to entertain the leaders, and we didn't have much dreams, I just wanted to ask the leaders of the Department of Transportation to think about the children in the mountainous areas, allocate some funds, and build a few more bridges in the mountainous areas of Beiqiang County! Get your kids to and from school without risking their lives! ”

"To be honest, I'm ashamed, as the mayor of Mianzhou, I feel bad to see the people below suffering so much. Our Mianzhou finances are really poor and white, and we can't get the funds to repair the bridge. Even the money for today's banquet for the leaders was paid in advance by our comrades in Mianzhou with their own salaries! ”

Li Yi spoke impassionedly and bitterly.

Zou Zhijun touched his face, thinking that although our Mianzhou is poor, it is not so poor, right? Mayor Li said it so miserably!

Wu Hanzhang smiled and said, "Mayor Li, you are too humble. I know a little bit about the situation in Mianzhou, although it is poor, it is not so poor. The situation in Beiqiang County you mentioned, I also know that it is all mountainous over there, and it is a place where the Shu Road is difficult to travel. If you want to build roads and bridges there, it is not easy, and the funds required are not cheap! At present, the funds of our provincial department are limited, several cities are waiting to build roads, and Jincheng City still has to build highways, and this money is really not even. Otherwise, next time, after the next payment arrives, I will definitely be the first to support you in Mianzhou! ”

Li Yi thought to himself, wait for the next time? Isn't the daylily cold?

"Governor Song," Li Yi said to Song Youlin: "You are the provincial leader in charge of transportation, please let go!" If you don't let go, Director Wu won't give us money! ”

Song Youlin snorted and said: "This matter, I am the power to sign and approve, and the dominant power is still in the provincial department, if they type the report up, then I will approve it." ”

Li Yi thought to himself, this Song Youlin is also an official oilman, what do you mean that you only have the right to sign? You are the vice governor in charge of transportation, where to build roads and bridges in the province, the power is in your hands, as long as you open your mouth, which of these comrades below dares not to listen to you?

Zou Zhijun, Qiu Zihan and others also agitated their tongues to instigate the officials.

Guan Zhixiong's table was also drinking and talking about things.

The atmosphere of the banquet was very lively.

But after talking for a long time, no one relented.

Li Yi thought to himself, if this continues, this trip to the provincial capital will be a waste of effort and money. He said to Gao Hongye: "Secretary Gao, you are the leader of the provincial party committee, you can make a decision for us, the people of Mianzhou are still counting on this money to go back to repair bridges and pave roads!" ”

Gao Hongye was willing to come today, just because he had the idea of supporting Li Yi, so he smiled slightly and said: "Comrade Youlin, you see, Comrade Li Yi is very sincere, in the case of economic difficulties, he is still willing to spend money to invite us to this meal, and bring so many comrades to come to run the funds in person, your transportation department, do you give them a little bit?" ”

Song Youlin said: "Secretary Gao has opened his mouth, then it is naturally easy to speak, there is no problem on my side at all, I still say the same thing just now, as long as they report it to the provincial department, I will definitely sign!" ”

Gao Hongye looked at Wu Hanzhang and asked, "Comrade Hanzhang, what is your opinion?" ”

Wu Hanzhang glanced at Qiu Zihan, made a fake hehe, and said with a smile: "This is easy to say, easy to say." ”RQ
