"Major Ma...Maxiang..." Meng Qiang, who was sitting on the bed next to him, suddenly shouted.

Ma Xiaoyao was interrupted from thinking, and gave Meng Qiang a very dissatisfied look: "What are you shouting about! Don't you know I'm thinking about something!"

"That... Mayor Ma, your phone is ringing..." Meng Qiang pointed to the cabinet next to Ma Xiaoyao's bed.

Only then did Ma Xiaoyao realize that his mobile phone on the cabinet was vibrating violently. He was too focused on thinking about things just now, so he didn't hear the mobile phone ringing. Ma Xiaoyao picked up the mobile phone and connected it: "Hello?"

"Major Ma, where are you now?" A woman's voice came from the phone.

"It's Mr. Wang, I'm in a hotel now." Ma Xiaoyao already recognized Wang Aiqin's voice.

"Oh, tell me the address of the hotel, and I'll pick you up right away." Wang Aiqin smiled.

Ma Xiaoyao was taken aback: "Pick me up? What do you pick me up for?"

"Of course it's time for dinner, Mayor Ma, you won't forget our agreement during the day, right?" Wang Aiqin asked.

"No, of course I haven't forgotten... It's just that it's so early..." Ma Xiaoyao explained.

"Hehe..." Wang Aiqin smiled: "It's still early? It's past six o'clock, and it's getting dark."

"It's past six o'clock?" Ma Xiaoyao looked up at the clock on the wall, and it was almost 06:30. Ma Xiaoyao grinned, because he was too absorbed in thinking about things, and didn't even notice the time passed so quickly: " That...I was thinking about something just now, and I forgot the time...Mr. Wang, tell me the address, and I will go by car..."

"Let me pick you up." Wang Aiqin said with a smile, "Tell me the address of the hotel..."

Wang Aiqin insisted on coming to pick him up, but Ma Xiaoyao couldn't refuse anymore, so he told Wang Aiqin the address of the hotel he was staying in.

"Okay, I'll be there right away." After speaking, Wang Aiqin hung up the phone.

Ma Xiaoyao put away his phone and glanced at Meng Qiang: "I have a date tonight, you can eat at the hotel by yourself, if I come back late, you can go to bed first." After speaking, Ma Xiaoyao stood up and walked out of the room.

"Hoo..." As soon as Ma Xiaoyao left, Meng Qiang immediately became more relaxed. He leaned against the head of the bed, took out a cigarette, lit it, and started to smoke: "Oh... this village chief Ma is really hard to serve."

……

As soon as Ma Xiaoyao came out of the hotel, a Mercedes Benz parked on the side of the road, the driver's door opened, a slender leg stepped out of the car, and then a beautiful woman stepped out, it was Wang Aiqin.

"President Wang." Ma Xiaoyao stepped forward and said hello: "Why are you driving by yourself today?"

"The driver has something to do with his family, so he asked for leave." Wang Aiqin personally helped Ma Xiaoyao open the door of the passenger seat: "Major Ma, please get in the car!"

"President Wang is too polite." Ma Xiaoyao bent down and got into the car.

"boom!"

Wang Aiqin closed the car door, and then quickly got into the driver's seat: "Sit well, I'm going to drive." Wang Aiqin skillfully shifted the gear, stepped on the accelerator, released the clutch, and drove the Mercedes-Benz slowly out.

"I didn't expect Mr. Wang's driving skills to be so good." Ma Xiaoyao complimented him.

"Major Ma was teased at me, and I'm the only one who is far behind." Wang Aiqin laughed.

The two talked and laughed along the way, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After more than ten minutes, the Mercedes-Benz stopped.

"We've arrived, let's get out of the car." Wang Aiqin turned off the ignition, opened the car door and walked out.

Ma Xiaoyao also hurriedly got out of the car, looked up, and found that the Mercedes-Benz was parked in front of a five-story building. There was a sign surrounded by lights on the building, and the sign said "Qingyuan Hotel" ".

"This hotel has just opened for a year. The chefs inside are all hired from the city. The food they cook is very good. I usually choose this place to treat guests." Wang Aiqin led Ma Xiaoyao into the hotel.

After entering the hotel, there was a burst of coolness on the pavement. There are several air conditioners in the hall, which makes the hall very cool, in sharp contrast to the hot day in June outside.

"Mr. Wang, you are here." A waiter came over and greeted Wang Aiqin respectfully.

Wang Aiqin nodded: "Did I let you reserve the private room?"

"It's been prepared for you a long time ago." The waiter personally led Wang Aiqin and Ma Xiaoyao to the fifth floor, and then pushed open the door of a private room.

Ma Xiaoyao took a look at the private room, and found that the private room was very luxuriously decorated, in addition to an oversized dining table, there were TV, stereo, sofa, a red carpet on the floor, and a row of beautiful crystal lights on the roof.

What a great deal!Ma Xiaoyao secretly admired, it is estimated that the decoration of this private room will cost tens of thousands of yuan, right?It seems that the owner of this hotel is very rich!

After Wang Aiqin and Ma Xiaoyao sat down, the waiter began to serve the food. After a while, the table was filled with delicious dishes. Finally, the waiter brought a bottle of red wine. After opening the lid of the red wine, the waiter slowly returned go out.

In the huge private room, only Ma Xiaoyao and Wang Aiqin were left.

"Come on, Mayor Ma, I'll toast you." Wang Aiqin personally picked up the bottle and poured wine for Ma Xiaoyao and herself.

Ma Xiaoyao didn't refuse, picked up the wine glass and touched Wang Aiqin lightly, then put it to his mouth and took a sip. Red wine needs to be savored slowly. You may not feel it when you drink it at first, but when the red wine enters After entering the stomach, the feeling of comfort will slowly appear.

Of course, low-quality red wine will not have this effect. Only high-end and expensive red wine will make people fascinated and loved. The red wine that Ma Xiaoyao and Wang Aiqin drank today is the very expensive kind. Precious red wine means nothing to her.

"Major Ma, you work well in the city, why did you come to work in Dongcheng County?" Wang Aiqin asked curiously. Although she didn't know much about the rules of the officialdom, she also knew that the urban area was much better than the county seat. Few people are willing to leave the city to work in the county.

Ma Xiaoyao smiled slightly: "I want to exercise at the grassroots level, which will help me in my future development."

"So it's like this..." Wang Aiqin showed a hint of comprehension on his face.

"The job in the urban area is very decent and relatively leisurely, but I still can't find a sense of belonging... After some careful consideration, I plan to go to the grassroots to exercise. The conditions at the grassroots are more difficult, but there are great opportunities for success, and It can train people better!" Ma Xiaoyao expressed his thoughts.

Wang Aiqin nodded: "You're right. It's easy to make achievements at the grassroots level, and it's relatively easier to get ahead, but the living conditions at the grassroots level are much worse than those in the city... Mayor Ma, you go to work in Gaohe Township, and you Does the family agree?"

Ma Xiaoyao smiled wryly: "Of course they disagree. They think I'm letting go of my good life, but I insist on going to the grassroots to suffer. It's because my brain is flooded... Later, I spent a lot of effort to convince my parents. In this way, they are still very unhappy."

"As parents, of course we all want our children to live better." Wang Aiqin said.

"Yes, I also understand my parents' painstaking efforts, but I also have my own pursuits and ideals... Sometimes, I am also very embarrassed." Ma Xiaoyao sighed.

"What you have to do now is to make achievements as soon as possible. Only when you make achievements, your parents will know that you have chosen the right path and will support you!" Wang Aiqin said.

Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Why don't I want to make achievements as soon as possible...but...it's too difficult...for example, this time I came to the county to ask for money, but I bumped into walls everywhere, which made me quite depressed... "

"Ask for money in the county? What kind of money do you want?" Wang Aiqin asked in surprise.

Ma Xiaoyao picked up his wine glass and took a sip of the red wine: "I plan to ask the county for a sum of money to build roads for Gaohe Township. Mr. Wang, you don't know that the roads in Gaohe Township are really bad. It is very difficult, and when it rains, the road will be even more impassable.”

"It turned out to be road construction." Wang Aiqin nodded, "What did the county say?"

"What can I say? Just say that there is no money." Ma Xiaoyao sighed: "I went to the county magistrate today, and he rejected me on the spot, saying that the county's finances are also very tight, and there is no money at all. Help Gaohe Township build roads..."

"How much does it cost to build the road?" Wang Aiqin asked.

"It's estimated to be more than 200 million. I can't say the exact amount." Ma Xiaoyao said uncertainly.

Wang Aiqin frowned: "Couldn't the county even spend 200 million yuan?" Dongcheng County has developed fairly well in recent years, and it stands to reason that the county's fiscal revenue should be quite a lot.

Ma Xiaoyao smiled wryly: "200 million can definitely be given out, but the county won't give it."

"Why?" Wang Aiqin asked incomprehensibly.

"Because we have to take into account the feelings of other towns. If the county allocates money to Gaohe Township, other towns will definitely come to ask for it. At that time, the county will be passive. You must know that there are more than ten towns in Dongcheng County. If every Each township is given 200 million yuan, and the county's finances will definitely not be able to support it." Ma Xiaoyao said.

"Surreptitiously giving money to Gaohe Township is over? Just keep other townships from knowing!" Wang Aiqin said.

Ma Xiaoyao smiled wryly and shook his head: "There is no impenetrable wall in the world. If nothing else, as long as Gaohe Township builds roads, other towns will get the news. When the time comes to inquire, I heard that the county allocated funds to Gaohe Township to build roads." , Those villages and towns will definitely rush to the county to ask for money."

"Then what should I do?" Wang Aiqin also felt a little headache.

"I don't know..." Ma Xiaoyao was depressed and took a sip of wine: "When I came to the county, I made a guarantee with the officials of Gaohe Township. If I go back in despair, I will definitely be ridiculed and looked down upon by them , Originally, I was just transferred to Gaohe Township as the mayor, and I was not stable at all, so my prestige in Gaohe Township was completely lost." Ma Xiaoyao became more depressed as he talked, and the more depressed he was, the more he drank, a glass of red wine After taking two gulps, he picked up the wine bottle and poured the wine. In a short time, Ma Xiaoyao finished half of the bottle of red wine by himself, and his face became extremely red.
