Lu Zhenhai swallowed the words in his mouth. With just this one sentence, he felt Li Xiuyuan's dominance. It was originally a polite remark, trying to express that he came two years earlier than Li Xiuyuan and should treat himself.
But Li Xiuyuan didn't even give himself such an opportunity.
After sitting down, Li Xiuyuan arranged for Zhou Jianzhong to bring wine and food, and at the same time asked about the repair project on the river bank of Meilin Village, to see if it could be completed on time tonight.
"Mayor Li, there is no problem, everything is going smoothly," Zhou Jianzhong replied.
Li Xiuyuan nodded. "Okay, then. After get off work tonight, I'll call the people from the Finance Office to distribute the money to everyone. No one will be shortchanged."
Zhou Jianzhong smiled immediately upon hearing this. No matter what you do, you can't do it without money. The project is progressing smoothly because Li Xiuyuan asked the people from the Finance Office to send 10,000 yuan on the first day of construction.
Paying the balance now will save him from the hassle.
"Thank you, Mayor Li."
"No need to thank me. This time the county is determined to build Meilin Village well. You can also go back and tell everyone to cherish the opportunity. When Meilin Village is built, it will not be the county leaders who will live there, nor will it be me, Li Xiuyuan, who will live there. It will be you villagers who will live there. This is building your own home." Li Xiuyuan said bluntly.
When talking to Zhou Jianzhong, he was always very tough.
"I understand, I understand..." Zhou Jianzhong nodded repeatedly.
Lu Zhenhai, who was watching this scene, felt secretly moved. This was the first time he had met Li Xiuyuan in private, and he found that Li Xiuyuan's style was even tougher than others had said. Zhou Jianzhong could still respond to him, but in front of Li Xiuyuan, he couldn't say a word.
At this time, the wine and food arrived. Li Xiuyuan poured wine for himself and then poured wine for Lu Zhenhai.
"Secretary Lu, we have a meeting this afternoon, so let's not drink too much. I'll toast you a glass and hope you can support me in my future work." Li Xiuyuan picked up the glass and said that there would be a town party committee meeting in the afternoon.
But at this time, even if there is an important meeting in the afternoon, it does not prevent you from drinking at noon.
Lu Zhenhai picked up the wine glass and drank with Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan then sighed, "There are so many things going on in Meilin Village. Actually, this dredging project should have been completed last year, but the Tian Zhijun brothers left a mess. Not only did it increase the workload, but it also delayed the project..."
Zhou Jianzhong also agreed when he heard it. He was now waiting for Li Xiuyuan to support Zhou Junliang. No matter who Li Xiuyuan scolded, he would agree with him, let alone scolding the Tian Zhijun brothers. That would be politically correct.
Lu Zhenhai didn't speak at first, and Li Xiuyuan took out a piece of data and talked about the mess caused by the Tian Zhijun brothers.
"Last year, the county went to great lengths to obtain environmental restoration funds from the coal mine. They begged and pleaded with the coal mine over and over again to get the money, all for the benefit of Meilin Village. But these two brothers had the heart to do this. They are from Meilin Village themselves, but they had the heart to exploit the villagers. The money that was originally intended for dredging and treating polluted sludge was all squandered by themselves.
They bought a Toyota Prado worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, but they didn't pay the villagers for working on the riverbank in the freezing weather. They even dumped the polluted silt in the open air, causing secondary pollution. In the middle of winter, you could smell a strange odor as soon as you entered the village. This is not what a human being would do.
