Kneeling in front of my wife’s tombstone and crying bitterly, I was reborn

Zhao Deming arrived at the city government early in the morning. As soon as he got off the car, he saw Wei Renming also getting off the car.

"Morning, Mayor Zhao!"

Wei Renming took a quick step forward, walked up to Zhao Deming and greeted him.

"Hello, Vice Mayor Wei!" Zhao Deming replied.

The two walked towards the office together, and unconsciously talked about work as they walked.

Wei Renming said, "Mayor Zhao, I thought about the state-owned shoe factory you told me about a few days ago and I think it's feasible."

Originally, Zhao Deming was planning to hold a mayor's office meeting today to discuss this matter. Now that Wei Renming had taken the initiative to bring it up, he followed suit and said, "Okay, let's notify Vice Mayor Liu, Vice Mayor Zhang, and Vice Mayor Zhou and we'll discuss it together."

"Okay!" Wei Renming agreed, but then changed the subject: "However, there is a small problem. I will report it to you first."

Zhao Deming nodded: "You go ahead."

Wei Renming said, "Yesterday I went to the state-owned leather shoe factory and told the factory director Song Yu about the city government's intention to sell the leather shoe factory. But from what he said, he is still reluctant to sell the leather shoe factory. He asked the city government to give the leather shoe factory some more support. He said he would find a way to revive the leather shoe factory."

"If Song Yu had that ability, the shoe factory wouldn't have suffered losses for several years!" Zhao Deming said unhappily after hearing this.

If he had heard this news before yesterday, he might have been slightly relieved. But after hearing Shen Qiansan say last night that he was willing to pay 50 million to acquire the state-owned leather shoe factory, he no longer had the heart to let Song Yu go through all the trouble.

Not to mention that Song Yu’s ability is just that. Even if Song Yu was more capable, could he get 50 million for the city government at once?

After hearing what Zhao Deming said, Wei Renming was slightly stunned. He had worked with Zhao Deming for several years and knew his old friend's character very well. It was also rare for him to see Zhao Deming insult a cadre in this way.

So what did Song Yu do to make Zhao Deming say so bluntly that he was incompetent?

Wei Renming couldn't help but guess in his mind.

As the executive vice mayor of Qingwa City, he is in charge of urban construction and economy, and has some understanding of Song Yu.

To be honest, he also looked down on Song Yu.

He smiled and said, "Mayor Zhao is right. The state-owned leather shoe factory can no longer let Song Yu mess around. Now that we have the chance, we'd better take action."

Zhao Deming nodded, but he was not in a hurry to tell the price offered by Shen Qiansan.

Such a surprising thing should of course be discussed at the meeting, that would be really exciting.

He also wanted to see how the deputy mayors would react when they heard the sky-high price of 50 million.

Zhao Deming said: "That's it, the meeting will start on time at 8:30."

"Okay!" Wei Renming agreed, "Then I'll come and notify Deputy Mayor Liu and the others."

Zhao Deming nodded, as if he remembered something, and said, "This meeting will probably take a long time. When you notify Deputy Mayor Liu and the others, please also mention that any work should be postponed."

"I understand!" Wei Renming agreed, but he was a little surprised. Isn't it just selling a state-owned shoe factory? It's not a big deal. It shouldn't take much time.

According to convention, for such matters, it is sufficient to form a resolution, and someone will be responsible for implementing the specific matters. Mayors do not need to take care of every detail when they hold a meeting, so it does not take too long.

Wei Renming thought that Zhao Deming probably had other important things to do, so he specifically stated that the meeting would take a long time.

He was just about to ask so that he could have a clear idea, but he didn't expect that he had arrived at his office. He had to hold back and said, "Then Mayor Zhao, I'll go into your office first."

"Okay!" Zhao Deming said, "See you later." and walked towards his office.

The two people's offices were separated by two rooms, and Zhao Deming arrived soon.

As soon as he entered the office, Guo Hongxing hurried in, made him some tea, and then reported today's itinerary: "Mayor Zhao, today's arrangements are as follows..."

Just as he opened his mouth, Zhao Deming interrupted him, "Don't make any other arrangements in the morning. The mayor's office will be open at 8:30, and several deputy mayors will attend."

Guo Hongxing was stunned. Was the plan changed again?

But he immediately said, "Okay, I'll notify Deputy Mayor Wei and the others immediately."

Zhao Deming waved his hand. "When I first arrived, I ran into Deputy Mayor Wei. He said he would go and notify everyone. You don't have to worry about it."

"Okay!" Guo Hongxing agreed.

Zhao Deming took a sip of tea and said, "By the way, please get me the information about the state-owned leather shoe factory so I can take a look at it."

It is just past 7:30 and there is still about an hour before the meeting ends. This is a good time for him to familiarize himself with the situation at the state-owned leather shoe factory.

Guo Hongxing agreed, but did not go to get it immediately. Instead, he said cautiously, "Mayor Zhao, Director Li from the Land Bureau is here. He said he has something important to report to you. Do you want to meet him first or let him wait?"

Zhao Deming narrowed his eyes slightly. Generally speaking, these directors would make appointments in advance to report on their work, and it was rare for them to come without an appointment.

The director of the Land Bureau, Li Guoqing, is also a veteran in the system and he shouldn't be so ignorant of the rules.

Is it an emergency?

But what kind of emergency could happen at the Land Bureau?

Zhao Deming thought about it and decided that there was still time, so he said, "Let him in!"

"Ok!"

Guo Hongxing agreed and immediately turned around and left.

As soon as he entered his small office, Li Guoqing asked, "Secretary Guo, can Mayor Zhao see me?"

Guo Hongxing said: "Director Li, Mayor Zhao invites you in."

"Thank you, Secretary Guo!" Li Guoqing said politely, and then prepared to walk towards Zhao Deming's office.

"Director Li, wait a minute!" Guo Hongxing stopped Li Guoqing and said, "Let me get some information, and then I'll go in with you."

As he spoke, he quickly rummaged through the filing cabinet behind his desk.

He had just shown Zhao Deming the information about the state-owned leather shoe factory a few days ago and he found it quickly.

After taking it out, he led Li Guoqing into Zhao Deming's office.

"Mayor Zhao, Director Li is here!"

Guo Hongxing said as he handed the information to Zhao Deming.

"Hello, Mayor Zhao!"

Li Guoqing greeted Zhao Deming cautiously.

Zhao Deming nodded, glanced at the information in his hand, and waved to Guo Hongxing.

Guo Hongxing withdrew immediately.

After Guo Hongxing closed the door, Zhao Deming looked at Li Guoqing, motioned him to sit down, and then asked, "Director Li, what's the hurry?"

Li Guoqing sat halfway on the chair opposite Zhao Deming's desk, leaning forward and saying, "Mayor Zhao, there is an important situation that I just learned about yesterday, so I rushed over early in the morning to report to you..."
