night.
In the luxurious private room of Dongsheng Hotel.
Xu Yilong, Tong Xiaoxuan and Qu Xiuwen sat around the dining table, waiting for Li Lin to arrive.
Xu Yillong looked at his watch anxiously, thinking that Xiaolin was always punctual, so what happened today?
Tong Xiaoxuan already had some opinions about Li Lin, and now that she has been made to wait for so long, she must be even more dissatisfied.
Xu Yilong smiled and said to Tong Xiaoxuan, "Xiaoxuan, Xiaolin probably has work to do and can't leave right now, how about we eat first? Eat while we wait."
Tong Xiaoxuan smiled and said, "I think you don't take me, your sister-in-law, seriously, right? Oh... He hasn't married Wenwen yet, so he's not my brother-in-law, and I'm not his sister-in-law either."
Xu Yilong laughed and said, "Xiao Xuan, you think too much. Li Lin is very well-educated. He must have encountered something unexpected..."
"Then let's wait. I want to see what's so important to my future brother-in-law." Tong Xiaoxuan said with a cold face.
Her Tong family had a very high status in the capital, and usually others waited for her. When had she ever been asked to wait for others?
It's normal to have some emotions.
Qu Xiuwen said with a smile, "Don't be angry, sister-in-law. Xiaolin will be here soon. Let's make him drink a few cups first, hehe..."
Little did people know that at this time Li Lin was still dealing with Guo Xuecai in the Municipal Party Committee!
The project is officially finalized...
It just so happens that Guo Xuecai and Xu Yilong are at odds, so it would be extremely difficult to gain some benefits from this...
Guo Xuecai was so anxious that his throat was smoking.
Because his group of bad friends have come to his house and asked him if he could subcontract the ancient city project to them to do some work.
But now Guo Xuecai is not in charge! It still needs the approval of the general contractor Xu Yilong.
So he gritted his teeth and found Li Lin.
Li Lin is the county party secretary, Shannan project commander, and Xu Yilong's relative...
With these levels of relationship, Xu Yillong will definitely listen to Li Lin's words.
Guo Xuecai couldn't persuade Xu Yilong, but he could use his status as the municipal party secretary to pressure Li Lin and make Li Lin compromise!
So, the two of them had this meeting.
In the Municipal Party Committee Office.
Guo Xuecai poured a cup of tea for Li Lin with a smile and said, "Try it. This year's new tea is very fragrant. If you like it, I'll get some for you to take back later."
Li Lin felt sick when he saw Guo Xuecai's hypocritical expression.
During this period of time, Guo Xuecai always treated Li Lin coldly and never took Li Lin seriously... Today he was suddenly so enthusiastic, he must have something to ask for.
Damn, this villain. Looking at the whole Pingyang, I guess no one can match his ability to change with the wind.
Li Lin said sternly, "Secretary Guo, we've had our tea, just tell me what you want to say."
Guo Xuecai smiled and moved a chair to sit opposite Li Lin. He leaned closer and said, "Xiao Lin, we had a little misunderstanding before, but it was not a big one. As the municipal party secretary, I want to apologize to you. Don't take it to heart..."
Li Lin looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost six o'clock.
If Guo Xuecai continues to talk like this, I don’t know how long I’ll have to sit there and listen to him nagging.
Li Lin simply interrupted him and said, "Secretary, let's get down to business."
Guo Xuecai was stunned, swallowing the rest of his words. An unhappy expression instantly appeared on his face, but he didn't dare to put on a stern face because he had something to ask of Li Lin today. He smiled faintly and said, "Okay, okay, let's talk business..."
He said, "The ancient city project is a big project. Simply relying on your local Shannan construction team may not be enough. What I mean is, find a few construction teams from outside and assign them some projects to do. In this way, the manpower will be guaranteed, the construction efficiency will be improved, and we can report to the provincial party committee leaders earlier. Don't you think so?"
Having said this, most subordinates would understand that Guo Xuecai wanted to arrange several construction teams to enter the site to work on the project.
Li Lin naturally understood it, but he pretended to be confused.
He said with a puzzled look on his face, "Secretary Guo, Shannan has more than 600,000 people, hundreds of thousands of migrant workers, and hundreds of thousands of spare workers... Even if there are two or three more billion-dollar projects like this, we still can't use up all the manpower. Why do we need external construction teams to help?"
"this..."
Guo Xuecai did not expect Li Lin to refuse so decisively, and was so embarrassed that he was speechless for a moment.
Li Lin continued, "Mr. Xu promised our Shannan County Government that all labor, machinery, equipment...can be found locally and will not be transferred from outside. As the head of the county party committee, I naturally have to ensure the interests of the local area. If there is no special need, as long as Shannan can meet it, we will never introduce foreign construction teams. This is a promise made to the people...how can we go back on our word? So no matter how you talk and plead, don't even think about squeezing in. Secretary Guo, you should be able to understand my thoughts and support my approach, right?"
This one sentence directly blocked Guo Xuecai's way out. Let's see what he says.
Guo Xuecai frowned and thought for a while, then said with a grim expression, "Support... How could I not support you... After all, you are also considering the interests of the local people... But Xiaolin, that is a project worth more than 10 billion yuan. It won't have much impact on your local area if you divide it out to 100 or 200 million yuan. Think about it again. I have a ready-made construction team..."
This time it's not a hint, it's an explicit statement.
I didn't expect Guo Xuecai to be so thick-skinned.
Having said that, they still have the nerve to send an engineering team to Shannan.
Li Lin sighed and said, "If necessary, I will report to you. But based on the current situation, I don't think any projects can be allocated... The people in Shannan are so poor that many of them leave their homes to work on construction sites. We must give them priority... Let them earn more and be closer to home. Working at home for a year, even if they earn less, is much better than working hard for a year in other places. Don't you agree, Secretary Guo?"
