For a long time, Xu Hui, the deputy mayor in charge of industry, commerce, agriculture, forestry and science and technology, has been the lowest-ranking deputy mayor. Huilong Town does not have any factories, agriculture and forestry are half-dead, let alone science and technology. To put it bluntly, he is in charge of these aspects of work and

Sitting on the bench makes no difference.

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

When it was time to get 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 window sill, looked up and Xu Hui happened to look over and nodded to say hello.

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

"Mayor Xu." Yao Yuan was a little surprised, smiled and nodded, "I'm a little busy, please take a seat."

When it comes to offices, Yao Yuan's office is undoubtedly the best in terms of conditions. That's because Lin Xiaohu purchased tables and chairs from the county and rearranged them. He spent his own money to decorate them, and no one had anything to say.

Xu Hui looked at the office with interest and said with a smile, "Assistant Yao, you use your own money to renovate the public place, but you won't be able to reimburse it in the future."

Everyone knows that Assistant Yao is rich, drives a BMW SUV worth RMB 300,000 to RMB 400,000, has access to a charity fund run by a big boss in Hong Kong, and is a cadre sent by the province. Everyone can let their imagination run wild.

I thought I was here to pay for my job. I worked there for a year and a half to get some basic work experience and then left when the time was up. I didn’t expect that big moves would come one after another after I took office.

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

Yao Yuan poured a cup of tea for Xu Hui, asked him to sit down on the sofa, and said, "The town's finances are so difficult, let alone the issue of reimbursement or not. I haven't thought about it."

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

"The products of Maofeng Tea Company are very good in taste and are high-quality products exported to Europe." Yao Yuan said with a smile, not knowing what the deputy mayor with no sense of presence wanted to say.

Sitting and chatting was out of the question, Xu Hui had 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. They plan to contract 80,000 acres of mountainous land in this town to grow tea, build a tea beverage factory, and invest another 30 million to help us build the Huilong Highway." Yao Yuan said with a smile.

Don’t say it now. Tomorrow the city and county leaders and bosses Mao Feng and Jin Jiu will come and announce that there will definitely be an on-site signing ceremony. However, the town has not prepared anything yet. The county must have informed Guan Tianming.

, but Guan Tianming remained indifferent.

Xu Hui shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "Although I am in charge of the economy, I have made no achievements over the years. Fortunately you are here, otherwise what would the more than 80,000 people in Huilong Town do?"

"Mayor Xu, you must not say that." Yao Yuan said, "I work under the leadership of the town committee, town government, Mayor Guan and you. Besides, investment promotion is not done by me alone, but by everyone.

The result of joint efforts.”

Xu Hui smiled and said, "Assistant Yao, everyone knows exactly what the situation is. My name as deputy mayor is just a sinecure."

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

Xu Hui is almost forty years old. The age of thirty to forty is the most important prime time in a person's career. His prime time is spent in Huilong Town. He was transferred from the county to be an ordinary officer and has ten years of service.

Later, he became the deputy mayor and deputy department-level cadre. To others, he passed the most important first hurdle.

But for Huilong Town’s first college student cadre, his best years have passed.

Yes, before Yao Yuan, the only college student cadre in Huilong Town was Xu Hui.

What Guan Tianming and others said "there used to be a young cadre just like you" was referring to Xu Hui. However, Xu Hui did not go around looking for connections to apply for transfer like other young cadres. Instead, he stayed down and continued to fight. The results were obvious.

, he lost.

Xu Hui suddenly asked, "Assistant Yao, are you doing it for the more than 80,000 people in Huilong Town, or are you doing it for political achievements?"

Very straightforward question.

Yao Yuan saw the clear magnanimity in Xu Hui's eyes. If there was anyone who fell asleep among the Huilong Town cadres, Xu Hui was the one. The others were either asleep or pretending to sleep.

"Mayor Xu, let me tell you, 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 ministries and commissions. 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 people to the best of my ability, and I think this is the natural mission of a party member cadre." Yao Yuan said solemnly.

Xu Hui was silent for a long time and said, "Seven years ago, that is, in 1988, you should know the environment at that time. There were a lot of foreign capital and Hong Kong-funded enterprises entering China. Huilong Town had more mountains and less land, but it had abundant water resources. At that time, I

A Hong Kong-funded mineral water company was introduced, and the Hong Kong businessman planned to invest 3 million Hong Kong dollars to build a water plant in Huilong Town, but unfortunately it failed in the end."

Three million Hong Kong dollars is still 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, "At that time, Mayor Guan had already been the mayor for five years. He believed that such investment was killing the goose that lays eggs. He believed that without the label of a national-level poverty-stricken town, millions of dollars in poverty alleviation funds would be spent every year in the future.

It’s gone. This is a stable income. If you invest in building a factory, you might go bankrupt soon.”

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

"The situation at that time was similar to now. You and Mayor Guan made your attitude clear. Tomorrow when 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 finally understood how Xu Hui became the deputy mayor who was sitting on the bench. He was in charge of education and civil affairs and had real power. He was in charge of industry and commerce, agriculture and forestry, and science and technology. In Huilong Town, it was equivalent to being deprived of real power.

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

Xu Hui patted his knees gently and said, "A lot of time has been wasted. Now I don't know where to start if I want to do something. Assistant Yao, I'm going to tell you the truth, you make me feel ashamed. I won't say more, I have

If you need help, just ask."

This is his attitude. He is on Yao Yuan's side.

Despite this, among Yao Yuan's cadres who supported foreign merchants to set up factories, Xu Hui and Wang Yu, a frustrated deputy mayor, and a director of the Women's Federation, were really insignificant compared to the strength that supported Guan Tianming.

Already.
