"Yes, yes, County Magistrate Song, I understand, I understand."

"Beep beep..."

Although the call had been hung up, Ma Xiaoyong still lowered his head, bent over, and nodded continuously.

"Ugh……"

Ma Xiaoyong put down the phone and sighed deeply, "Old Tian, ​​you take care of the things in the bureau next time. I'm going to take care of some personal matters."

Tian Jianguo naturally understood what Ma Xiaoyong was talking about, "Director Ma, I'll go with you."

"This... oh, okay"

……

Since Song Pingchang had already promised Qi Tongwei that he would coordinate matters with the Water Affairs Bureau, after buying a few pieces of clothes, Qi Tongwei returned to Xinyue.

After parking the car in the compound, Qi Tongwei returned to his apartment to put his clothes away, then went to the office to continue working.

When passing by Wang Lang's office, he saw that the door was open. He took a closer look, but no one was inside. Qi Tongwei guessed that he might have gone to the countryside to raise funds. There was really a lot of energy in Wang Lang.

Just as I sat down and hadn't turned a few pages of the document, Sun Liancheng walked in.

"Hey, Mayor Sun, please sit down, please sit down," Qi Tongwei said as he poured a cup of tea.

Sun Liancheng sat down, took the tea from Qi Tongwei, and said with a smile, "Tongwei, it seems that your trip to the Water Affairs Bureau was not very smooth."

"Oh no," Qi Tongwei waved his hand, "Mayor Sun, don't mention it. The threshold of the Water Affairs Bureau is too high. Even a deputy section-level cadre like me can't get in."

"However, County Magistrate Song from the county government has agreed to help us coordinate this matter. The authority issue has been resolved."

"Um……"

Sun Liancheng nodded, "Tongwei, to be honest with you, I have some friendship with the director of the Water Affairs Bureau, but he is too mean. Even though I have worked with him before, he would not give me face. So, I did not take the initiative to ask to coordinate the reservoir. It's not that I don't want to, but I'm not sure."

"Yes, yes, Mayor Sun, I understand, I understand."

Sun Liancheng picked up the hot tea, moistened his throat, and got straight to the point, "Tongwei, let me be frank. Ma Xiaoyong just called me and asked me to arrange a meeting. He wanted to apologize to you. I'm a person who is not good at refusing others, so I agreed to his request."

"But if you don't want to, you don't have to worry about him. I can find a reason to get rid of him. Don't feel embarrassed."

Qi Tongwei smiled slightly, "Haha, Mayor Sun, since you have already promised him, if I don't go, wouldn't it be a disrespect to you?"

"This……"

"Oh, Tongwei, thank you for considering me," Sun Liancheng looked at Qi Tongwei gratefully.

After a few greetings, Sun Liancheng left and returned to the office. He told Ma Xiaoyong the news. After hearing the news, Ma Xiaoyong immediately went to the mall and bought various gifts, including melon seeds, peanuts, and a basket of fruit.

At first, Ma Xiaoyong was planning to bring Moutai and Huazi, but was stopped by Tian Jianguo.

After buying the gifts, the two contacted Xinyue and booked a private room at a local restaurant in the town. After doing all this, the two immediately drove to Xinyue.

After get off work in the afternoon, Sun Liancheng and Qi Tongwei went to a local restaurant together. Ma Xiaoyong and his companion had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Qi Tongwei and his companion come in, they immediately stood up.

Ma Xiaoyong rushed over, holding out his hands with a smile on his face, "Secretary Qi, Secretary Qi, I'm really sorry about what happened this morning. I've dealt with those two people seriously. The woman has gone to guard the Heishan Reservoir, and the security guard has been blacklisted. Look at this result...are you satisfied?"

Qi Tongwei didn't say anything, just laughed and walked to the table and sat down.

Ma Xiaoyong's outstretched hand was suspended in the air, but he was not annoyed. Instead, he sat down with Qi Tongwei and continued to smile and said, "Secretary Qi, I heard that you came from the provincial capital. These are our Jinshan's local specialties, salted peanuts and fragrant sunflower seeds. Take them back and try them."

Qi Tongwei frowned, looking somewhat dissatisfied.

Seeing this, Sun Liancheng hurriedly stopped him and said, "Hey, hey, hey, Director Ma, what are you doing? We're just having a meal. Comrade Tongwei won't accept any gifts you gave him. Take it back quickly."

"This..." Ma Xiaoyong was suddenly a little at a loss.

Tian Jianguo laughed and quickly took the things back. "Hey, Director Ma, I told you that Secretary Qi would definitely not accept it. You still didn't believe me. Now it's over, right?"

Ma Xiaoyong understood that Tian Jianguo was playing a double game with him, so he cooperated and said, "Yes, it's my petty mind that makes me think too much. Haha, Secretary Qi, don't mind it."

After Sun Liancheng sat down, Tian Jianguo called out, "Boss, serve the food, serve the food!"

After a while, the cold table was filled with steaming farm dishes. Although they did not look very beautiful, they were very appetizing and had a strong aroma.

Ma Xiaoyong held the wine in both hands, poured a small glass for Qi Tongwei, then poured a glass for Sun Liancheng, and finally poured a full glass for himself.

"Come on, Secretary Qi, Lao Sun, I've finished it, you guys can do whatever you want", and after saying that, he gulped down the large glass of wine in one gulp.

Tian Jianguo followed closely behind and filled his own cup. "Secretary Qi, I am Tian Jianguo, the deputy director of the Water Affairs Bureau. I have long heard that Secretary Qi is young and promising. I have long admired him. Come, I'll drink it. You can do whatever you want."

Qi Tongwei chuckled. Seeing that the two were so sincere, he decided not to put on airs. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Seeing Qi Tongwei's attitude change, Ma Xiaoyong immediately became happy, "Secretary Qi, eat some food, eat some food, the cooking skills of this local restaurant are really good"

Qi Tongwei picked up the chopsticks, ate a few bites, and then slowly said, "Director Ma, right? You guys don't really need to come and apologize. I came here today purely to see Mayor Sun, so don't think too much about it."

"This..." Ma Xiaoyong just thought that he had it easy today, but he didn't expect to be hit hard again. "Secretary Qi, Secretary Qi, I really didn't know it was you this morning. Please don't take it personally."

Tian Jianguo also echoed, "Secretary Qi, this is our Director Ma. He is old and easily confused. Please be magnanimous and forgive him this time."

After saying that, Ma Xiaoyong actually started crying. While wiping his tears, he cried, "Wow, Secretary Qi, I finally became the director. Please forgive me..."

When Sun Liancheng saw Ma Xiaoyong like this, he was slightly moved. After all, they had worked together for several years, and it would be a lie to say that he didn't care at all.

Thinking of this, Sun Liancheng looked at Qi Tongwei and said, "Tongwei, Director Ma has indeed realized his mistake. How about you forgive him this time? I believe he will correct it in the future."

"Yes, yes, Secretary Qi, I will definitely correct it. Please give me some time and I will prove it to you."

"Ugh……"

Qi Tongwei sighed and nodded helplessly, "Now that Mayor Sun has spoken, what else can I say? Okay, Director Ma, you go back."

"This... Qi... Secretary Qi," Ma Xiaoyong was a little confused and looked at Sun Liancheng for help.

Sun Liancheng quickly waved his hand and said, "Old Ma, why are you still standing there? Go back quickly. Tong Wei has already said that he will not pursue you. Go back."

“Yes, yes, thank you Secretary Qi, thank you Secretary Qi,” Ma Xiaoyong and the other man bowed and thanked him repeatedly.

Before leaving, Ma Xiaoyong also looked at Sun Liancheng gratefully, "Thank you, Old Sun..."
