"Okay." Li Xiuyuan smiled and nodded, then put away the notebook he had been holding and said, "Thank you, Director Liu."
Director Liu cursed in his heart but smiled on his face. He waved his hand to indicate that you're welcome, then turned around and went to find his leader.
At this time, in an office on the fifth floor of the Finance Bureau, Deputy Director Shao, whom Li Xiuyuan and Wang Zhitao had been wanting to see, was leisurely drinking tea and reading the newspaper in the office, wondering where to go for lunch.
After seeing Director Liu knock on the door and come in, Deputy Director Shao greeted him with a smile, "Old Liu is here. It's noon now. Come out for lunch with me later. The leaders of the township below are treating us. Let's have a stir-fried fish."
"Come to think of it, the stir-fried fish I ate in Liyuan Town last time was truly unforgettable. The fish from Liyuan Reservoir are just different from those from other places..."
Deputy Director Shao has a big belly, but he knows a lot about food and is a gourmet.
But Director Liu wasn't in the mood to chat about lunch at this moment. He gritted his teeth and said, "Director Shao, the people from the county government..."
"Those two brats haven't left yet? Don't worry, just arrange someone to deal with them. If that doesn't work, we can just go through the back door." Deputy Director Shao said without any dissatisfaction.
Director Liu smiled bitterly, recounted what had just happened, and then said, "Director Shao, why don't we meet? After all, this person is from the county government, and it's not easy to fool him."
Director Shao's expression turned serious when he heard this. He had not expected such a thing to happen. "This young man is quite capable. Okay, let them come over."
Director Liu returned soon after and said to Li Xiuyuan and Wang Zhitao, "You two, Director Shao has finished his work and is free now."
"That's great, thank you, Director Liu." Li Xiuyuan said, while Wang Zhitao looked at Li Xiuyuan with a look of surprise and doubt, asking Li Xiuyuan, "What on earth are you doing? I've been waiting for the leader for the whole morning and now he's not busy anymore after you go see him."
It was not appropriate for Li Xiuyuan to explain at this time, so he and Wang Zhitao went to see Director Shao together. Director Shao was quite polite and enthusiastic. He said sorry right away that he was busy all morning.
At this time, Li Xiuyuan remained silent and gave the initiative to Wang Zhitao. After all, this was Wang Zhitao's job.
Wang Zhitao exchanged a few polite words and then got down to business with Director Shao, the rural road lighting project.
Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Shao immediately showed an embarrassment on his face: "Xiao Wang, Xiao Li, right? It's useless for you to come to me for this matter. The rural road lighting project is a big deal. It is not something I can decide at all. Besides, our Finance Bureau is in charge of the money.
There are so many rural areas, how many of them are involved in the road lighting project? Will the road lighting project be installed in all the rural areas across the county at once, or will it be done in batches? If it is done in batches, which township will come first and which will come later?
How many streetlights are needed in total? What is the planned cost? Does the county have the money? Who needs to sign for this money? Will this money be included in the county's annual budget, or is it an unplanned expense?..."
