Chapter 346: Summer Knows Autumn

re looking after Xiao Zheng”Shao Weixing awkwardly said: "Mayor Guan, I don't mean to hide anything from you" 。I'm not really sure either. It was the Minister of Labor who originally assigned me this...Lao Xuan is a bamboo crafts artisan from Anxian. 。Before the ancient street was built, Lao Xuan was just an unassuming artisan. His workshop was on the verge of bankruptcy, and he was addicted to alcohol, irritable and restless. He had also quarreled with his family members and lived alone in his workshop by the Sanfeng Town highway, spending his days drinking away his sorrows. 。Lao Xuan happened to see the news that it would take two weeks to build the ancient street in Lǜshuǐ Village that day, purely by chance. 。He is in the habit of drinking and eating peanuts while watching various news before bed. 。I didn't expect to see the news of Xiao Zheng accepting an interview, saying that he would build the ancient street in two weeks and leave the exterior set of "Hidden Dragon Sword Rain" in An County!

Lao Xuan immediately had an idea at that time. This matter couldn't be done unless he used his bamboo craftsmanship! He was eager to try, but he was also worried that the officials in the town and county wouldn't believe him Over the years, the decline of the bamboo products industry gradually made Lao Xuan's heart sink. Facing this opportunity, he first told himself it was impossible!

There were too many people who failed, so he didn't dare to believe that there was such a thing as success. 。So, that night Lao Xu poured the last drop of wine down her throat, lay on the bed and intended to fall asleep with her head covered. 。Usually, he could sleep until the sun was high in the sky after just one meal of alcohol, but this night he couldn't fall asleep for a long time. 。Perhaps this is really an opportunity! Perhaps this is the only chance in a lifetime, if we don't seize it, I'm afraid we'll never be able to turn over. 。Lao Xuan was not willing to be so poor and miserable his whole life! So, he got up from his bed and, using his clunky old phone, started making calls. 。Although Lao Xuan was down on his luck, he at least opened a workshop by the road. He had made money when he was younger, so he called up former business partners who had shared meals and drinks with him, as well as relatives and friends, hoping to find Xiao Zheng, the young deputy county magistrate of An County. 。After calling around, he still couldn't get the phone number. 。In dejection, he suddenly remembered a distant relative named Xin A Si, who was said to work in the Tianhuang Town government. He dialed again and finally got Xin A Si's phone number, so he called him. 。I got Sha Hai's phone number from Xin An Si. 。 。At the beginning, Xiao Zheng and An Ruyi, Gan Songyun were discussing the construction of the ancient street in the conference room of the An County International Hotel. Gan Songyun said that it was impossible to complete the ancient street construction within two weeks using ordinary building methods. Unless they used the traditional "bamboo building method," but this craft had almost been lost. It would be impossible to find a designer proficient in bamboo architecture in a short time. 。Just when Xiao Zheng, An Ruyi, and Gan Songyun were all stumped, Lao Xuan came to them himself. 。As soon as he heard about such a bamboo craft master, Xiao Zheng immediately sent Xiaochong and Shahai to pick up Lao Xuan. 。When Lao Xuan arrived, as soon as he spoke about his ideas, Gan Songyun, the chief engineer, stepped forward and grasped Lao Xuan's hands: "Lao Xuan, you are definitely a inheritor of bamboo craftsmanship and bamboo culture! You are a living fossil of the 'Zhulou' craft!"

Hearing Gan Songyun say this, Xiao Zheng also believed that Lao Xuan was truly skilled. He immediately treated him with respect, ordering his subordinates to arrange for supper and good wine, while also booking a room at An County International Hotel for Lao Xuan to stay. 。Lao Xuan didn't expect to meet such a discerning senior engineer as Gan Songyun. At the same time, Xiao Zheng, the young deputy county magistrate of An County, treated him with great courtesy. The most important thing was that there were both wine and food. Although it was already midnight, Lao Xuan hadn't seen so many delicious foods in a long time. He was like in a dream, eating happily. 。Xiao Zheng saw that this old artisan was skilled and talented, but he had fallen on hard times and hadn't received what he deserved. 。Xiao Zheng had once been down on his luck, so he knew exactly what that taste was like. 。So, as for the things a destitute person desperately needs, Xiao Zheng tried his best to fulfill them. Good food and drink, comfortable housing, most importantly, respect. 。Xiao Zheng also accompanied Lao Xuan in drinking, respectfully addressing him as "Teacher Xuan," and others followed suit. 。This made Lao Xuan very happy. After eating and drinking his fill, he started discussing things with them. 。The Lao Xuan family has been dealing with bamboo products for generations, having been in this industry for dozens of generations. 。Lao Xuan said that his ancestors had built a moon-watching pavilion entirely made of bamboo for the Tang Dynasty imperial palace. During the Song Dynasty, their ancestral bamboo craftsmanship was renowned, encompassing exquisite bamboo utensils used within the palace. Even the Mongols learned of it; one of his ancestors was captured by the Mongol Tartars and taken to Shangjing, where he constructed an entirely bamboo palace called "Bamboo Palace," which is recorded in Marco Polo's travelogues. 。The glorious history of various families involved in the bamboo industry, Lao Xuan knows them all by heart. 。Xiao Zheng doesn't know how much of it is true and how much is boasting. 。When Lao Xuan and Gan Songyun discussed the "Ancient Street" design scheme, every idea Lao Xuan came up with received a nod of approval from Gan Songyun. This shows that Lao Xuan really had some substance. 。Then Xiao Zheng felt much more at ease. 。The exterior design of this ancient street, Gan Songyun from Anhai Hotel and the designer offered many suggestions, but in terms of bamboo ancient street's structure, load-bearing capacity, anti-corrosion and other issues, Lao Xuan's opinions were mainly followed. 。Thus, the "ancient street" which could not be built within two weeks was built. 。。Had it not been for the sudden appearance of Lao Xuan, this so-called "folk expert", An County would have been unable to complete the now-famous "Bamboo Tower Ancient Street" within two weeks. 。

There are many coincidences in this.

But in the end, Xiao Zheng summarized that he did the right thing. 。That's because he believes in the saying "masters are among the people." So, when he was interviewed by the media at the time, he spoke out, hoping that people from all walks of life, enterprises, and individuals with talent would be able to participate. 。His words not only encouraged Anhai Group to actively participate, but also provided a platform for traditional craftsmen like Lao Xuan to showcase their skills. 。Our Party has always believed that the people are the creators of history. We believe that as long as we firmly rely on the people, there are no insurmountable difficulties and no unachievable tasks. 。Now, Xiao Zheng understood the meaning of that sentence even more deeply. 。At the outset, a leading cadre's grasp of ideas and theories might be abstract. However, it is only through practical application that their understanding can deepen considerably. 。That's precisely why Xiao Zheng had to visit Old Xuan. He couldn't just abandon him after he had done so much for the government. 。The time has been set for tomorrow morning. Thinking that Lao Xuan likes to drink, Xiao Zhang asked Xiao Zhong to prepare some wine and cigarettes in advance, and also put some snacks that can help with drinking in the car as a gift for tomorrow. 。That evening, Sha Hai went to drink with the children and young men in town. 。He has many friends who are childhood buddies from Tianhuang Town. They've grown up playing together. These days, some of them run businesses, others work for someone else, and some even opened foot massage shops in the county town. There are also those who went to Ke County in Shaoshan to do synthetic fiber business, etc. They all have a little money to spare, enough to afford a few drinks. 。Out of this group, Sha Hai had the best academic record. He attended a vocational high school on scholarship and was assigned to work in a rural town after graduation. Sha Hai had a bright future ahead of him. 。After going to the countryside to work, Keshahai's steps have never been quite right. Until now, he is still an ordinary cadre. 。Because I'm also in a bit of a bad mood, Shahai usually likes to hang out and drink with this group of people. 。After drinking too much, Sha Hai also couldn't help but confide his worries. 。He raised his glass and said, "My brothers and sisters, today I, Sha Hai, stand at a crossroads. I don't know which way to go next. Give me some advice!" 。Those who had been drinking loudly urged, “Come on, spit it out! What are you stalling for” Everyone was clamoring for him. 。

Sha Hai poured a cup of white liquor into his mouth and said, “Don’t you know I’m currently on loan to the county, working as an assistant to the deputy county magistrate. Today, the deputy county magistrate asked me if I’d like to stay at the County Office and work as his secretary in the future.” 。The work will be very hard, but should be more promising. 。You can also return to your hometown, the work will be very easygoing, but the future is uncertain. 。"Help me come up with some ideas, what should I choose"

A buddy said, "That's a no-brainer, stay and work in the county, become a leader later!" 。"

“You don't know **!” A burly man stood up beside him. This man was called Liu Bin, who ran a chemical fiber business in Ke County and was now a small boss. “Do you know who the deputy county magistrate is It’s Xiao Zheng from Lushui Village! This guy, he arrived at the county government later than Sha Hai to the town government, and he's younger than Sha Hai. Now he's the deputy county magistrate, making Sha Hai his secretary, fawning over him all day. Do you think he’s trying to support Sha Hai He wants Sha Hai to look good! Do you understand”

The little buddy who had been scolded mumbled: “Is that so I didn’t know.”" 。If that's really the case, we Shahai can't just accept this injustice. 。“Besides, someone else said: “We are no worse than that Xiao Zheng. Why should he be the leader and we, Sha Hai, carry his bags for him” 。"Someone else said, “You think carrying bags is that simple Being a secretary sounds glamorous, but there are plenty who get chewed out by their bosses!" "Then we definitely can't be like Sha Hai." 。Back in town, we often drink and sing karaoke. Isn't that a good time"Yeah, Sha Hai, you're already so busy with your current assignment. As your secretary, it's hard to even find you for a drink! Why bother Life is only a few decades long, and you're at this age now. What's the point of making yourself miserable"Almost everyone agreed with that sentiment. 。Everyone thinks it's beneath Shahai to have someone younger than him as his secretary. It's not respectable, dignified, or time-efficient. 。Even at the end, some people said that it wouldn't be worth living like that. 。Sha Hai's mind was also a bit muddled. 。Besides being drunk, he also thought it was beneath him to be Xiao Zheng's secretary. 。What's the point of life, isn't it just to live it up

Shahai's gaze drifted aimlessly around the private room, catching sight of a beauty who was looking at him. 。Her name is Xia Zhiqiu. She was a very good student in middle school, but her parents were shortsighted and wouldn't let her continue her education. Now she can only sell clothes in a department store in the county town. 。

Summer knew that having Sha Hai as her secretary wasn't worth it. 。o report something. 。It's common for the Minister of Publicity and the Minister of Organization to consult each other. 。Liu Qingwei still thought it was a normal issue related to the use of officials...
