"Is Reporter Qiao married? Does she have a boyfriend?"

Li Yuanlang made it clear. Fang Yan opened his lips slightly and hesitated: "I haven't asked. Mayor, I..."

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Li Yuanlang asked gently: "Have you not forgotten your ex-girlfriend?"

"Yes, not quite." Fang Yan mustered up the courage to express his inner concerns.

"As you know, I am still paying off her debts. I don't have a house, and I don't have a penny in savings. With my conditions, anyone who follows me will suffer, so I won't consider personal issues for the time being."

Li Yuanlang said calmly: "Xiao Fang, material conditions are an indicator of the quality of life, but not everything. A girl who really likes you will not care about the quality of life. What matters is whether living with you is happy or not."

"You are neither too old nor too young now. If you don't solve your personal problems now, it won't be affected. When you reach a certain level, if you are still single, this will bring you great obstacles."

"We have an unwritten rule that if you still don't get married after reaching a certain age, the organization will not consider you for job promotion."

"The reason is very simple. How can a person who doesn't even want to take on family responsibilities be given the burden to him?"

"Xiao Fang, your current predicament is only temporary. Grit your teeth and persevere. With your sense of responsibility and kindness, your future will be bright and bright."

"If Reporter Qiao is in line with your wishes in all aspects, you should boldly pursue her. If she is a good girl and does not care about your situation, it means she is a person worthy of your love. Believe me, I am quite accurate in judging people.

.”

"This... I'll think about it." Fang Yan thought for a moment.

Yes, the place where Li Yuanlang invited Fang Yan and Qiao Xiaoli to eat was Uncle Guang's Weimin Restaurant.

Qiao Xiaoli was surprised. She was surprised that an official of Li Yuanlang's level actually ate in such a small restaurant.

What's more, Li Yuanlang was chatting and laughing with the restaurant owner, and they seemed to be old acquaintances.

Uncle Guang complained to Li Yuen Long, "Mayor, every time you come to my place to eat, you give me more money. I said no, so you stayed secretly. You treat me as an outsider, not a friend."

Li Yuanlang laughed and explained, "Uncle Guang, this is a restaurant, a place where you are open for business. There is no reason why you should not pay for a meal."

Uncle Guang's wife interjected: "The house belongs to our family, the chef and the waiter are our husband and wife, and this is our home."

"Isn't that right?" Uncle Guang said: "As a guest and friend of my family, you come to my house for dinner and give me money. If word spreads around, where can I put my old face? How will others see me? You think I am looking for money.

He’s not coming anymore.”

"Mayor Li, you are not allowed to pay for this meal tonight under any circumstances. If you leave even a penny, I, Aguang, will break off our relationship with you and never know you again!"

"Okay." Li Yuanlang nodded repeatedly.

And introduced Fang Yan and Qiao Xiaoli to Uncle Guang and his wife.

Uncle Guang didn't say anything. His wife looked at Fang Yan, then looked at Qiao Xiaoli, and couldn't help nodding and praising: "What a well-matched couple, they really look like husband and wife."

Fang Yan defended awkwardly, "We, we are either... we are classmates."

Qiao Xiaoli's face turned slightly red and she asked curiously: "Auntie, do you know how to read marriage?"

The woman smiled and said, "Whether you look like a couple or not can be seen in your eyes. There is no sense of unfamiliarity, and there is a natural harmony."

"This kind of thing cannot be faked, it is an act from the heart. Auntie has lived for more than half her life and has experienced a lot, so she will not be mistaken."

Uncle Guang curled his lips and said, "Look at you, aren't you just trying to match up a few successful couples, and then sell melons to Mrs. Wang so that you can praise yourself? Secretary Fang, Reporter Qiao, don't listen to her nonsense and make random mistakes. Her words can't be trusted."

.”

Then he told Li Yuanlang, "You go to that table and wait. You don't need to order tonight. I'll make the arrangements. But I'll keep it in mind. If you keep any more money, I'll be really angry."

"Okay, I'll just listen to you, Uncle Guang."

Looking at the small restaurant with only one table for them, Li Yuanlang sighed.

After sitting down, he took out his bank card and secretly handed it to Fang Yan, "Go buy some gifts, and your standards should be higher."

Fang Yan understood Li Yuanlang's intention, took the car keys and turned around to go out.

Since Uncle Guang doesn’t want money, Li Yuanlang must not treat him like a king’s meal.

Reciprocate the courtesy and prepare some gifts to offset the meal expenses.

Qiao Xiaoli saw this and looked at Li Yuanlang even more highly in her heart.

Among all kinds of people she came into contact with, Li Yuanlang was the one she admired the most.

I originally thought that the interaction between Li Yuanlang and Uncle Guang was just because Uncle Guang was hindered by Li Yuanlang's identity.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuanlang did not regard himself as the mayor and sincerely made friends with Uncle Guang.

Not being greedy for taking advantage, being aboveboard and doing things in a measured manner are truly valuable.

"Mayor, I admire everything you did just now. I really don't mean to flatter you." Qiao Xiaoli spoke truthfully from the bottom of her heart.

Li Yuanlang waved his hand, "Reporter Qiao, this is nothing. In fact, the vast majority of our people are kind and reasonable."

"The little kindness we do to them will be repaid tenfold or a hundredfold."

"To make friends with them, you must first put aside your stature and inherent class consciousness, and interact with them sincerely and with friendship."

"In total, I have come to Weimin Restaurant for dinner no more than five times, but we get along like old friends for many years. We are very familiar with each other and express ourselves very naturally."

"To be honest, the bigger the official is today, the less chance he has to have contact with the common people. The contact I am referring to is not in public, but in private."

"Of course, there are special circumstances here. We are in the Internet age, and information sources and dissemination speed are very fast."

"It is difficult for an official's identity to be exposed, and it is difficult to achieve the expected effect of a private visit incognito. Once recognized, the people's true words and demands cannot be heard, and the real life and current situation of the people cannot be understood."

"Therefore, this makes it easy for us to deviate and deviate in implementation and management, and in formulating policies and systems, and it is not well recognized and understood by the people."

"Only by going deep among the masses and being immersed in the situation can we do our job well, and only then can the living standards of the people be better improved."

From beginning to end, Qiao Xiaoli did not take out her voice recorder, let alone take notes.

She listened carefully and remembered everything in her mind.

Through observation, Li Yuanlang felt the advantages of the girl in front of him.

If she was busy taking notes and taking out a lot of interview equipment, Li Yuanlang's impression of her would be greatly reduced.

However, Qiao Xiaoli already had an idea of ​​this report through chatting with Li Yuanlang.

"Reporter Qiao, you want to conduct an exclusive interview with me, so I have a little suggestion."

Qiao Xiaoli hurriedly said: "What suggestions? Please let the mayor make it clear."

"Don't limit your attention to me alone. Write more about Uncle Guang, his Weimin Hotel, and the things surrounding ordinary people."

Li Yuanlang pointed to the empty seats around him and sighed: "Uncle Guang's restaurant business is getting sluggish. It has nothing to do with his business methods or cooking skills. It's because too many nearby residents have left."

"The city government has signed a contract with Benge Mobile. In the future, Benge will build a large-scale production base near the new city. The preliminary plan is to recruit at least 5,000 workers."

"And we are also discussing the implementation of the land replacement agreement with Jiaming Company. Jiaming Company has made it clear that they have reserved 122 housing units in the new city for the demolition households in this area."

"When we move to the new city, it seems that we are far away from the old city and feel inconvenient. But the new city has a huge advantage, that is, our mobile phone production base is located here."

"A huge production base, a large factory with more than 5,000 people, just like Uncle Guang's restaurant. If it were opened near the factory, the business would definitely be better than it is now."

Qiao Xiaoli smiled in surprise and said: "Mayor, I originally wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with you, but you changed my mind."

What you say can easily lead to misunderstandings.

Li Yuanlang coughed lightly and quickly drank water to hide his embarrassment.

Qiao Xiaoli also realized that the wording was inappropriate and quickly changed her words: "Mayor, what I mean is that you want me to give you free advertising so that more demolished households can understand the good intentions of the city government and you."
