After becoming deputy mayor, Chang Ning stopped working in the office for several consecutive days, leaving Li Zhouteng to guard him. He took Ling Xiao, coat, and drove off-road vehicles without any goal. He wandered around several highways into the city on the outskirts of the city without any goal.

Chang Ning was in a comfortable mood and excited manner, but instead felt that his work seemed much easier than when he was in Markham County. Because he did not want to participate in the struggle for power and profits among various factions in the city, he deliberately kept a low profile, did not visit other leaders as usual, nor did he meet the head of his department in charge.

Of course, he went to Shangluo's house to "visit the door". Shangluo laughed at him for not having entered the role of Mayor Fu. Chang Ning explained with confidence that the Spring Festival will be in less than a month. Everyone is thinking about the New Year, so they have no intention of thinking about work. It is better to do something big after the Spring Festival.

It took a whole week to finish his "inspection".

As soon as he entered the office, Li Zhouteng followed him in.

Wiping the desk's desktop, Chang Ning asked, "Zhouteng, have you and Ling Xiao done things?"

"Thank you for your concern. My friendship is in the comprehensive department of the municipal government office. Chief Fu, and my wife arranged to be a nurse in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the Municipal People's Hospital. Ling Xiao's girlfriend was transferred to the city's third primary school. Our houses are both in the dormitory area of ​​the agency, on the same floor of the same building, one street away from the leader's residence. I have two bedrooms and one living room, and Ling Xiao has one living room."

Chang Ning nodded, "Has anyone come to me these days?"

Li Zhouteng smiled and said, "Of course, the heads of all departments you are in charge have come, and some 'activists' have come several times. I said as your instructions, you are inspecting below and you will not see anyone before the Spring Festival."

"Haha, just say that, the work can never be done. I finally can be lazy. Why do you have to do it in these few days?"

"But..." Li Zhouteng looked at Chang Ning, but he stopped talking.

Chang Ning looked straight, "Hmph, what's the point of saying? Your old problem has happened again?"

"I have had a secret contact with several leaders these days and I heard some comments about you."

Chang Ning suddenly became interested and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about?"

"Some people say that the prefectural committee courtyard is now in a red carriage. Mayor Chen, Mayor Yao Fu and you said that after your old man retreated, you are no longer able to do it. You also gave an example to say that you did not join the Standing Committee this time. Mayor Fu, who is a non-committee, can't make any name for it... Anyway, there are a lot of discussions."

Chang Ning laughed at it, "Zhou Teng, how do you think about this problem?"

Li Zhouteng said: "Leader, I personally think that being too low-key will be regarded as a manifestation of weakness. It is said that the new official has three fires. You don't need to ignite the fire in the leader, but you have to show your existence."

Chang Ning nodded slightly and thought with relief that Li Zhouteng became more and more mature.

Li Zhouteng is right. In this system where backing is the first element, the more low-key you are, the more everyone will recognize the fact that your backing is not good.

Chang Ning smiled and said, "Okay, I am a city construction and housing company. I am qualified to go around the city. Anyway, I am idle, so I will be used as a warm-up."

Li Zhouteng also smiled, "Just think it's okay, just think it's okay to make trouble?"

"Oh? Haha, the words are rough or not." Chang Ning was stunned for a moment, and Ma was happy again, "But, Zhou Teng, we have to do something big first, this is the most urgent thing."

Li Zhouteng hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Pointing to the huge office, Chang Ning smiled and said, "I think the furnishings in the office are too monotonous."

"Oh..." Li Zhouteng suddenly realized and then smiled knowingly, "What instructions do the leader have?"

Of course, Li Zhouteng knew what Chang Ning was referring to. The leader believed that superstition was particularly particular. When he was in Witz County, Building 1 and the office were arranged in a unique manner according to his requirements. Now that he has arrived at a new place, he must have new ideas.

After all, it is the office of a municipal leader, and the area alone is twice as large as when he was in Wanjin County. There is also a lounge and bathroom next to it. However, the layout is really simple, which is a boss's desk, a shelf, a filing cabinet, a TV cabinet, a double sofa and two single sofas. It looks empty and empty. There are four walls, one facing the window and the other side is a filing cabinet, and the other two walls have nothing except a Chinese painting each.

Chang Ning took out a piece of paper from the drawer and handed it to Li Zhouteng and said, "You write strictly according to my paper, readjust and arrange my office. Remember, you have no say in this matter."

After saying that, Chang Ning stood up and walked out of the office.

Li Zhouteng hurriedly followed, "Leader, don't you let me follow you?"

"What are you doing? Take the time to get my office done. Ling Xiaojie and I are looking for trouble."

Chang Ning took Ling Xiao and walked around Jinjiang city.

The Jinjiang City area is about 30 square kilometers and has a population of about 200,000. With the Jinjiang River as the boundary, it is divided into two parts with a similar area in the north and south. The focus of Changning's inspection today is the four bridges in the Jinjiang River City section.

One is a railway bridge built in the 1950s and two highway bridges built in the 1960s. What Chang Ning cares most about is the stone bridge built more than 300 years ago. He has been here several times before. In his eyes, this stone bridge, about 200 meters long, has long been a dangerous bridge that should be demolished. The stone fences on both sides of the bridge have disappeared two-thirds of the bridge, but less than five meters wide, have to pass 20,000 people and 5,000 bicycles every day. There are 100 people falling into the water every year. In the past ten years, more than 100 people have been buried in the river...

The sun sets.

Chang Ning sat at the end of the southern end of the stone bridge, staring blankly at the river flowing east under the bridge in the cold wind.

"Leader, do you want to build a bridge?" Ling Xiao knew what Chang Ning was thinking and couldn't help asking.

Chang Ning said: "Ling Xiao, I'll give you a task. Within three days, you will help me get these numbers, how many bridges are in the city, how many of them are dangerous bridges, how many accidents occur in the bridge every year, how many people died and injured."

Ling Xiao scratched his head, "Leader, where can I write some numbers?"

"This is your business." Chang Ning stood up, waved his hand, patted his butt and said, "You go back first, I want to walk alone."

Send Ling Xiao away, Chang Ning walks alone in the ancient waiting road.

"Mayor Chang, Mayor Chang..."

As he was walking, Chang Ning heard a man shouting loudly behind his back.

He turned around and saw that it was Gao Siping, the former director of the Jinjiang District Agricultural Reclamation Bureau, an old man wearing faded military uniforms all day long, walking towards him not far away.

Chang Ning greeted him and said enthusiastically: "Director Gao, it's you." Although he had only met a few times during the meeting, Chang Ning respected this veteran cadre who was born in a military family very much, and he was very respectful every time he met.

Gao Siping said happily: "It's really Mayor Chang. I thought I had read it wrong. Mayor Chang, I have followed you from a distance for a long time."

Chang Ning asked curiously: "Director Gao, why are you always following me?"

Gao Siping smiled and said, "Haha, let me state first that I am not following Mayor Chang. I passed by the stone bridge for something. When I saw you walking around the bridge, I was curious and came to take a look."

Chang Ning smiled slightly, "Is that so? I just came out today and took a walk around casually. I didn't expect that you would be discovered by Director Gao."

"Ministry visit?" Gao Siping asked with a smile.

"Where is it? I heard that Jinxiu Bridge has a history of more than 300 years. It is the oldest building in Jinjiang City, so I sneaked over to take a look." Chang Ning started fighting.

Gao Siping blinked and laughed: "Xiao Chang, I have a famous keen eye, so don't hide it."

Chang Ning laughed, "Old Gao, am I just taking responsibility? Everything is difficult at the beginning, and you have to try every means to find something to do."

"Haha, it's good to be young. Not a half-old man like me who is uneducated, once the Agricultural Reclamation Bureau is cancelled, there is no place to go."

Chang Ning said, "Lao Gao, you are only fifty-seven, and the organization will never let you go home."

"Oh, don't mention it. The National People's Congress and the CPPCC have not yet decided. Anyway, they are just drinking tea and reading newspapers and waiting for home."

As he said that, Gao Siping took Chang Ning's hand, "Xiao Chang, you've gotten off work now. In this way, I'll treat you to a meal. I wonder if you're willing to give me a favor?"

"Lao Gao, if you want to have a meal, I have to invite you. How can I ask you to invite you?"

The senior high school student shook his head slightly and smiled meaningfully, "I have to invite you to this meal today. I have lived here for twenty years. Compared to your first arrival at Xiao Chang, I am half a master, and the guest will follow you."

Chang Ning felt aroused his heart, raised his wrist and looked at his watch. As expected, he had passed the break-off time. He thought that he had to eat anyway, and when he got home, he had to ask for trouble to cook. It would be better to eat on the street. "Okay, then I'll be here to stay."

Gao Siping is really strange. He took Chang Ning to pass by many restaurants, but he didn't even look at it, but he just entered a restaurant called Guiyuan Hotel.

It was dinner time, and the restaurant was full of customers. Gao Siping seemed to be very familiar with the restaurant owner, so he took Chang Ning to the second floor and walked into an empty private room.

The wine and food are settled, and the old and the young drink together.

Gao Siping raised his glass and said to Chang Ning: "Xiao Chang, we are friends for a long time. Don't say anything. Let's drink. I'll toast you. I wish you a career in Jinjiang and strive to go further."

"Thank you, Lao Gao, I wish you good health and good health."

The two of them slid their glasses and each drank them all in one go.

Chang Ning poured two empty glasses full of wine and raised his glass and said, "Lao Gao, I'll toast you too. After drinking this glass, it's time to say what you think."

"Haha, Xiao Chang, you misunderstood. I have no other meaning. I'll invite you to drink, come and drink."
