Chen Baoluo insisted on getting in Xie Wan's car. They sat in the old Beijing Jeep of Anxian County Government. The ride was bumpy and he almost shook out his breakfast food.
The provincial leaders behind him didn’t have an easy time either.
Director Ye from the Economic Commission couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked the car to stop and vomited violently on the side of the road, almost fainting.
“Although Director Ye usually gets carsick, he has never gotten this sick.
Why are there so many potholes on this road?
My butt is about to be split in two."
Another comrade who was traveling with us also got off the car to get some fresh air and turned to complain to Secretary Jiang.
Secretary Jiang also came on behalf of the provincial leaders. He suddenly remembered that Xie Wan had studied medicine, so he asked the driver to catch up with the car in An County and ask Xie Wan to come back and see Director Ye first.
Xie Wan asked the driver to turn the car around and drive back.
Paul Chen said, “Put me down first, I’d rather wait for you to pick me up on the roadside.
If I had to sit in the car for one more minute, it would be torture.”
Xie Wan pulled his lips together and smiled cunningly.
She called Xu Bing two days ago and asked him to find a way to arrange some people to secretly make the road more dilapidated.
It seems that Xu Bing has done a very good job.
Xie Wan turned back and took Director Ye's pulse. After pressing a few acupoints, Director Ye felt much better.
“I never thought that County Magistrate Xie had this skill.
Thank you, I am alive now."
Xie Wan gave Director Ye a homemade motion sickness pill.
After Director Ye ate it, his mind became clear and he was very enthusiastic and grateful to this young comrade Xie Wan.
Xie Wan smiled and sighed, “I’m sorry for making all the leaders suffer.
This road has been around for decades, and we in An County also want to repair it, but unfortunately we don’t have the money.”
Director Ye turned around and said to the director of the Planning Commission who got off another car, "Old Qiao, when you make plans for next year, can you allocate some money to repair this road? If we want to develop the economy, we must first repair the road."
Director Qiao was also pale, and felt like his bones were about to fall apart. He swore in his heart that he would never come to this shabby place like An County again in his lifetime.
After hearing this, they said: “They didn’t submit a report. If they had, they would have approved it.
This road has completely affected the basic lives of the people in the entire county."
Xie Wan was waiting for this sentence, and he stepped forward with a smile, handed a motion sickness pill to the director of the Planning Commission, and said flatteringly: "Director Qiao, thank you, our An County has already made a budget and submitted a report, but unfortunately the city does not have this budget, so it cannot be approved.
Director Qiao, if foreign investors really want to invest in An County, can they go through the provincial procedures and approve a sum of money for us first so that we can build this road?
You see, Mr. Chen Baoluo was almost mad about this road just now. If he knew we were going to build the road, maybe he could donate some money and help us.”
Director Qiao's eyes lit up, and he said to Xie Wan, "Xiao Xie, if you can convince foreign businessmen to donate, I will approve your plan immediately."
Xie Wan achieved his goal, and he began to flatter the two directors, praising them for loving the people like his own children and having a far-sighted vision. Both leaders were already quite old, and it was hard not to like a young man like Xie Wan with his sweet talk.
After getting back in the car, Xie Wan still led the way and picked up Chen Baoluo.
“Paul, please make your statement later and donate one million to An County to repair this road.
Just consider it as a gift from Zhenhua to the people of An County."
Chen Baoluo just said "hmm" to indicate that he understood.
The driver Xiao Wu was shocked when he heard the conversation between the two.
Is their County Chief Xie so awesome?
Can we actually let foreign investors pay for road construction?
Driver Xiao Wu is a driver for the county government office. He followed Xie Wan out this time as a temporary assignment from the office director.
Xie Wan had just arrived and didn’t have his own driver yet.
The driver Xiao Wu started to become interested. Should he take the initiative to apply to become Deputy County Magistrate Xie's exclusive driver after he returns?
Of course, this depends on whether Deputy County Magistrate Xie thinks highly of me.
So, the driver Xiao Wu started to please Xie Wan while driving.
"Thank you, Deputy County Magistrate, for your hard work. Take a rest first. We still have an hour to get to the county seat.
I'll try to drive steadily.
The road today is really weird. There are usually a lot of potholes, but not as many as this one. It looks like it was dug by Zhu Bajie with a rake."
Xie Wan was amused, and the image of Xu Bing secretly digging the ground with a rake at night automatically appeared in his mind. The more he thought about it, the funnier it became, and he burst into laughter.
The driver Xiao Wu didn't know what he said that tickled Deputy County Chief Xie's funny bone, so he laughed along. He also thought that Deputy County Chief Xie liked to hear jokes, so he started to rack his brains to tell jokes to Xie Wan.
Seeing that Xie Wan didn't react to ordinary jokes, he picked a joke about the county government and told it.
Now Xie Wan became more interested.
You have to know that leaders always have to be accompanied by drivers when they go out, and when they are in the car, they may accidentally leak some secrets when talking to others.
The drivers have their own circles, and when they are not driving, they will gather together to gossip about their leaders.
So Xiao Wu is well-informed.
After listening to the jokes of Pang Ming, Liu Jiang, Wan Xuyang and others along the way, Xie Wan realized that Xiao Wu was surrendering to him.
She said, "Xiao Wu, you drive well, I will tell the office that you can drive for me from now on.
However, I have a rule that you are not allowed to tell anyone what you hear in my car.
If I hear anyone outside spread what I said in the car, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to stay in the county government."
Xiao Wu held the steering wheel with one hand and raised the other hand to assure: “Don’t worry, Deputy County Chief Xie, I’m keeping my mouth shut.
I will tell you what I heard from other places later.
But I will never tell anyone about you."
Xie Wan was very careful and he rarely discussed confidential information in the car, but it would be much more convenient to make the driver his own.
Finally they arrived in An County. As soon as they entered the county town, Xie Wan noticed colorful flags waving and loud gongs and drums on both sides of the road.
She frowned, somewhat speechless.
She specifically instructed the county not to engage in formalism, but to just clean the streets and prepare accommodation in the guesthouse.
It seemed that no one took her words seriously.
They drove all the way to the gate of the county government and saw neatly lined up children wearing red scarves and holding flowers. Pang Ming and others were standing in front of the children to greet them. Xie Wan couldn't help rolling his eyes.
She raised her chin towards Chen Baoluo and said, "Get out of the car, big boss. One million people in An County welcome you!"
