Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

Liu Hongyi naturally exchanged a few polite words with him.

"You two, please come inside!"

When they entered the house, there were many people in the living room, watching TV and chatting. It was quite lively.

Seeing Ai Gaofeng and Liu Hongyi enter, they all stood up, smiled and nodded in greeting, but said nothing much. It was obvious that Bian Zhicheng had already instructed them to invite Ai Gaofeng and Liu Hongyi over that evening to discuss work.

Bian Zhicheng's family tradition is very strict, and his family members will never allow anyone to interfere with the work of local leaders in his name.

The provincial party secretary is the provincial party secretary, and family members are family members. The distinction is very clear.

Bian Wenhong led Ai Gaofeng and Liu Hongyi directly to the study on the second floor.

This was Liu Hongyi's first time to visit the study in Villa No. 1. It was completely different from his impression. It was not decorated in a very dignified and grand manner as shown on TV. On the contrary, what caught Liu Hongyi's eyes was a Beijing stove.

It is a closed iron coal stove with a hollow pipe leading directly to the window, which emits carbon monoxide and other waste gases. It is a great way to keep warm in winter and is more effective than any high-end air conditioner.

No wonder the room was so warm.

Bian Zhicheng's desk was square and set above the stove. The surface was covered with a hand-sewn cotton cloth, giving it a rather rustic appearance. The only item of higher quality on the table was a beautiful lamp.

As soon as he saw the style, Liu Hongyi knew that it was "Made in Chuzhou".

Bian Zhicheng was wearing an old blue cotton-padded jacket and nodded at them gently, without any of the "wealthy air" of a provincial governor.

Seeing such simple decoration, Liu Hongyi was in awe of Bian Zhicheng.

"Secretary Zhicheng, Happy New Year! I wish you a happy new year."

Ai Gaofeng clasped his hands together and bowed repeatedly.

Liu Hongyi also wished Bian Zhicheng a happy new year.

"Haha, Happy New Year, Happy New Year."

Bian Zhicheng stood up with a smile and shook hands with them one by one: "Lao Ai, Hongyi, please sit down..."

The two of them sat down on either side of the table.

Ai Gaofeng laughed and said, "Secretary, your stove is the best. It keeps me warm and I don't have to worry about gas poisoning... Why didn't I think of this good thing? I'm still using the honeycomb coal stove and I don't dare to close the windows tightly. After a long time, I'm freezing..."

Bian Zhicheng laughed and said, "Then make one. Hey, this one is made in Chuzhou. You should criticize Sima Wu for not caring about his old leader at all. He was reluctant to even give him a stove. Hahaha..."

Several people burst into laughter.

In fact, it is not Sima Wu's fault. Who could have imagined that the home of the main leader of the provincial party committee did not even have a means of heating, and they had to send him a Beijing stove.

Everyone thinks that the home of the provincial party committee leader must be very high-end and full of good things.

Bian Wenhong served them tea, and brought melon seeds, peanuts, candies and other things, and placed them on the table. Then he retreated and closed the door behind him.

After chatting for a while, Bian Zhicheng's face turned serious. He looked at Liu Hongyi and said, "Hongyi, I was originally planning to have Lao Ai call you to ask about the situation. Since you're in Daning, it's perfect. I can just ask you directly. Tell me, what's going on with that reward system you set up in Zhuang'an? Why did it cause such a big reaction in Beidu?"

Ai Gaofeng and Liu Hongyi, the father-in-law and son-in-law, looked at each other and read the look of "as expected" in each other's eyes.

"Yes, Secretary Zhicheng, the situation is like this..."

Liu Hongyi immediately gave a detailed report to Bian Zhicheng.

Bian Zhicheng said in surprise, "Fiscal revenue has quadrupled in just one year? What you said in the newspaper is actually true?"

Well, these days, ordinary people definitely trust newspapers.

But Bian Zhicheng is different.

He read the report in Zhennan Daily and had doubts in his mind.

As the provincial Party chief, he knew only too well how difficult it was to increase fiscal revenue. Even a 20% or 30% increase, let alone a quadruple or double, would be an extremely rare achievement.
