Chapter 97 Congratulations

Audi drove out of the Tangjiang Mozitang Toll Station of Angui Expressway at a constant speed and slid along the auxiliary road out of the Angui Expressway.

Zhao Guodong slowly lowered the car window, and the cold wind coming towards him could not help but shiver, but Zhao Guodong was full of energy and looked at the expressway that had begun its first major renovation with emotion.

The Angui Expressway was officially opened to traffic in early 1998. During the period, the Andu-Tangjiang section and the Pennsylvania-Liuzhou section were opened to traffic in mid-1997, which immediately made Tangjiang and Pennsylvania beneficiaries. Pennsylvania took advantage of the situation, but Tangjiang seemed to be inadequate in the face of this huge change. Although economic growth has grown at a rate, it is far from being able to seize the opportunity. Compared with Pennsylvania, which soon the craze brought by the Angui Expressway slowly subsided, and Tangjiang fell into a long-term downturn.

You can feel the weather difference of a city from the expressway. Not far from the intersection of the expressway is Provincial Highway 241, which leads to Lanshan. The scattered restaurants are lined up on both sides, which seem a bit messy. A gust of north wind blows, instant noodles pockets, shredded paper, and grass roots are mixed with dust and flying in the air.

"Zhao***, let's raise the car window. The dust outside is too heavy." Peng Changgui did not turn his head and knew that it was Zhao Guodong who put down the car window. The constant temperature air conditioner in the car dropped a few degrees, which made the whole province feel a little stiff.

Zhao Guodong came from Andu. You Lianxiang was officially elected mayor of Tangjiang City a week ago. Zhao Guodong called to congratulate him. Today, he left for the first time.

The situation in Tangjiang is not optimistic. Last year, the economic growth rate of 14 cities in the province was ***, Tangjiang was fourth to the bottom, only better than Andu, Rongshan and Luhua, the disposable income growth of urban residents was second to the bottom, only stronger than Rongshan, and the per capita net income growth of farmers was third to the bottom, only stronger than Rongshan and Luhua, and the industrial added value above scale was second to the bottom, only stronger than Rongshan. Such a severe situation was in front of You Lianxiang, and Zhao Guodong didn't know how much psychological preparation You Lianxiang was for this.

Zhao Guodong shook his head, sighed, and pressed the button to raise the car window.

Peng Changgui noticed Zhao Guodong's expression from the rearview mirror and smiled and said, "Zhao***, Mayor You came here to be the mayor. I think it's better to be the deputy mayor in our Ningling."

"Zhao***, Tang Jiang is really not that good. At first glance, it feels like the Tucheng and Kuiyang counties in our country." Yun Rui also stretched his neck and looked out. As the car drove towards the city, the buildings on both sides of the road became slightly neat, and magnificent and beautiful buildings began to appear.

"Nonsense! No matter how much Tang Jiang is, it is a prefecture-level city. How can Tucheng Kuiyang be compared with this place?!" Zhao Guodong cursed with a smile: "You guy, you are not a way to show off yourself."

"Zhao***, what I said is the truth. Look, the road is in a mess. I am worried that the chassis of our car will be damaged. I don't know if the greening facilities are too gray. Why do I always feel a bit gray? "Yun Rui didn't care and said with a smile.

When the three of them were together, Yun Rui and Peng Changgui spoke casually, which was also something Zhao Guodong specifically advised, saying that he should relax himself when he was stern all day long, and not look nervous and fearful. Everyone was wearing a pair of masks and was so tired that they didn't dare to do it. At first, Peng Changgui and Yun Rui didn't dare, but after Zhao Guodong talked about them a few more times, the two of them felt that Zhao Guodong really hated that atmosphere, so they gradually let go.

"Xiaoyun, this is a manifestation of a lack of energy in a place. I have been walking in so many places. Andong is the most energetic in Ningling. Anxi, Huaiqing and Mianzhou are both good. The south and the blue mountains are also good. Other places are very bad. It is said that the spirit of a city can be felt from the first impression. Although Yongliang is also gray, when you enter the city, you can feel the busyness and vitality brought by the endless flow of traffic. It is completely different from the smell here."

Although Peng Changgui's simple language is, he can even speak the right ideas.

Yun Rui also looked at Peng Changgui's words with admiration, but he really couldn't tell that Master Peng's eyes were so sharp.

"Come on, Zhao***, is that car?" Audi slowly got off. A black Buick Regal on the side of the road ahead was parked on the side of the road with emergency lights. From the license plate, it can be seen that it was a government small car, Ang-00029.

"Well, it should be this car. Mayor You arranged for her secretary to pick us up. Today we can also beat Tangjiang Municipal Government." Zhao Guodong said happily.

As soon as Audi got closer to stop, a tall and beautiful girl came down from the front seat of the Regal. A refreshing ponytail was combed behind her head. The pink down jacket made a pair of long legs look set off for youthful and toned jeans. Yun Rui, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly lit up his eyes.

Zhao Guodong seemed to be able to see through the expression on his secretary's face, the deputy seat in front of him, and said with a smile: "Yun Rui, the beauty is here, why don't you go quickly? This is an opportunity!"

Yun Rui hurriedly got out of the car. After the girl came forward for a while, Yun Rui returned to the car with a look of expression.

"Zhao***, Xiao Gong took us over and let our car follow their car." Yun Rui said excitedly.

"Little Gong? Oh, Yun Rui, I even found out the name of someone else. Yun Rui, he is moving fast enough." Zhao Guodong said happily.

Yun Rui had a hot face, but the other party's beautiful style really made Yun Rui feel a little ashamed. Yun Rui was not tall, only 1.7 meters tall, while the girl was probably around 1.68 meters tall. This was almost half a head taller than Yun Rui when she stood with Yun Rui. No wonder Yun Rui was a little lacking in confidence.

"Xiaoyun, that girl looks good, with clear eyes and straight face. She looks like a serious girl. Haven't you found a partner yet? I think this girl is very suitable for you." Peng Changgui was also very enthusiastic.

"Uncle Peng, where is this? We are here to pay homage to Mayor He You. I have never thought about finding a partner or from another place." Yun Rui shook his head, but the girl was really attractive, and she wanted to say that she was not moved at all but a lie.

"Xiaoyun, it's not me that I'm talking about you, what other places are, you've been with Zhao *** for more than a year. Can Zhao *** stay in our Ningling for a few years? If Zhao *** gets promoted for a year or two, don't you follow Zhao ***? You're not like me, Lao Peng, you're going to drive. You have a great future with Zhao ***. Linghu's kid has been with Zhao *** for four years, and now he's been the deputy county magistrate. If you follow Zhao *** for a few years, can you still be worse than Linghu's kid?"

Peng Changgui said happily that he had a good impression of Yun Rui. Yun Rui was not as agile as Linghu Chao, but he was very diligent and kind to others, so Peng Changgui liked this young man very much.

After hearing what Peng Changgui said, Zhao Guodong also laughed: "Old Peng, it seems that you have made my decision on where I will go. When will I leave, you will know?"

"Hehe, Zhao***, our old Peng is not blowing, these eyes have never been cleared! When you left Xijiang and Huaiqing, I thought you would definitely come back, and you either become the *** or the mayor when you came back. You left in 1998 and returned in 2002. In less than four years, wouldn't you come back?" Peng Changgui was quite proud of his judgment. "Sometimes ago, the city was saying that Zhao***, you might have to leave, and you want to go to Andu to be the mayor. I will say that Zhao *** has been the mayor in Huaiqing. Now he is an *** in Ningling. How could he be the mayor in Andu? It's almost the same to be the *** when he wants to go, they don't believe it, and they want to bet with me. I said I don't have the habit of betting with people. I'm willing to believe it or not, what's the result?"

Zhao Guodong smiled and stopped talking.

The rumors about him being mayor in Andu City were once rumored half a month ago. Many people even described the debate between the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee on who will be the mayor of Andu City. As a result, a deputy ministerial-level cadre was parachuted from the Ministry of Commerce and went directly to the Deputy *** of the Andu City Party Committee, and three days ago, they were elected as mayor at the Andu City People's Congress, shattering all rumors.

The Regal in front drove quite smoothly, guiding Zhao Guodong and the others to take this Audi to Cuihuating Hotel, which is the leading hotel in Tangjiang and a designated reception hotel in Tangjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.

Gong Xuan got out of the car, and when Audi slowly parked in the hotel's exclusive parking space, he walked to the Audi car at a small step. The shy secretary had already got out of the car. Before Gong Xuan could help open the door, the rear door had already opened. A young man in his thirties flexibly came out of the back seat of the car.

Gong Xuan didn't react for a moment. Didn't he say there were only three people? Why did one more person? What did this young man do? But he saw that the car door had been closed, and it seemed that there was no one in the car.

The young man walked over with a kind and confident smile on his face and looked up and down. His bright and sharp eyes made Gong Xuan's face beat enthusiastically. Why is this person so rude and looking at people like this?!

Gong Xuan couldn't help but feel a little angry, and a faint look of anger appeared on her face.

"Zhao***, this is Mayor You's secretary Xiao Gong." Yun Rui hurriedly walked up to introduce: "Xiao Gong, this is Zhao***."

Zhao***? Gong Xuan was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted and blushed with a hurry: "I'm sorry, Zhao***, I'm?????"

"It doesn't matter, my image may not be very similar to ***, and it is not as powerful as Mayor You, haha." Zhao Guodong said humorously.
Chapter completed!
