Chapter 534 Coincidence
"It's too early to say that. You're still under a lot of pressure. You need to quickly convert these 400,000 workers into the workforce and enable them to become self-reliant."
Pei Yihong warned again, "Also, the money allocated by the state this time can only be used to provide for the basic living security of workers and cannot be used for other purposes. You must remember this. In addition, the province will grant you a 1 billion yuan grant for development. From now on, you will have to rely on yourselves to solve the funding problem. You must remember that our province is not the only city in the province."
"One billion? Secretary Pei, isn't that a bit too little?"
"Not much?" Pei Yihong smiled bitterly. "It's not a small amount, Comrade Anxia." He pointed at Sha Ruijin standing beside him and said, "Ren Tianzhou only took 600 million. You should be content."
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you, Comrade Jian Ming. You should know him. This is Comrade Sha Ruijin, your future neighbor and the mayor of Tianzhou City."
"Hello, Secretary He." Sha Ruijin extended his hand.
"Hello, Mayor Sha." He Anxia's eyes lit up. He still remembered that Beishan City still owed Tianzhou coal money. If he could get the other party to waive some of the debt...
Pei Yihong continued, "The two cities you are responsible for are both relatively poor cities in our province. I hope you can carry forward the spirit of mutual help and help our people escape poverty as soon as possible."
The two agreed.
After leaving the provincial party committee, it was already late. He Anxia had an idea and suggested having dinner together. Sha Ruijin gladly accepted, and Ji Jianming followed the two of them as a foil.
The two are of similar age, so they can interact more often and there may be opportunities for them to work together in the future.
There is no official who doesn't drink. When they started drinking, with He Anxia taking the initiative to show goodwill, the two of them felt that they had met too late.
They both received a good education and came from prominent families, so they had so much in common.
As they chatted, the topic turned to the situation in the two cities. Unlike Sha Ruijin's worries, He Anxia was calm and composed.
He Anxia picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Sha Ruijin's glass on the table. He was a little drunk and said with a curled tongue: "Hey, Comrade Ruijin, don't worry, the mountain will come before the car... the mountain will come before the car..."
Sha Ruijin corrected: "When the car reaches the mountain, there will always be a way."
"Yes, yes, we must have confidence."
Sha Ruijin sighed: "Your cadres in Handong are really different from those in other places. Every one of them is full of energy and drive."
He Anxia put down his wine glass and said, "Ruijin, from what you said, have you been to Handong?"
"Actually, I'm half Handong. I used to live with an uncle in Handong for a while, but after going out to study, I rarely had time to go back. Oh, and my uncle is the chief prosecutor in your Handong."
He Anxia was surprised and said, "I didn't expect that we would have such a fate. Chief Prosecutor? Which city or county's chief prosecutor?"
"It's not the city or county, it's your provincial court."
"Provincial Court? Tell me quickly, do I know your uncle?"
Sha Ruijin smiled and said, "He is quite famous in your Handong, you should know him."
"Who?"
"Chen Yanshi." Sha Ruijin uttered a name.
"…" He Anxia was stunned for a long time before muttering, "When did Mr. Chen have a nephew like you? I've never heard that he has any brothers."
"Oh, I'm not his biological nephew. It's a long story."
Sha Ruijin briefly recounted his life story, and He Anxia suddenly understood. He sighed, "I didn't expect Mr. Chen to be so kind and righteous."
"Come to think of it, the last time I saw Uncle Chen was in 88, when he was doing military training for students at Handong University. I've been so busy with work these days that I haven't seen him in six years. I wonder how he's doing?"
"He's old, but in good health. He's been making great contributions to Handong over the years and has done a lot of practical things for the people."
"Isn't he of retirement age?"
He Anxia didn't know how to answer. Could it be that your uncle opened his own procuratorate?
After pondering for a moment, he said, "Mr. Chen is retired, but the common people all know that he is an upright official. So when there are grievances, they always like to ask him for help. Mr. Chen is also a warm-hearted person, so he took over the case. He has done a lot of practical things over the years."
He Anxia tried his best to be tactful, but Sha Ruijin still understood what he meant. "So that's how it is. Uncle Chen is still so kind-hearted. I'll have to give him a call someday to persuade him to enjoy his retirement at this age."
"Yes, I should." He Anxia picked up his glass and clinked it with his own. He wanted to change the subject, but suddenly thought of something. "You said you did military training at which university in 1988?"
"Handong University."
"What a coincidence!" He An slammed the table.
"What's a coincidence?"
He Anxia smiled and said, "My partner graduated from Handong University in 1988. When you have time to visit our city, I will ask him to salute you, the instructor."
Sha Ruijin was at a loss for words and waved his hands repeatedly, "No, that's all in the past. Besides, he's at the same level as me... at the same level..."
Sha Ruijin came back to his senses, his eyes widening. "Wait a minute, you said your partner was a student in 1988. Does that mean he reached the main hall in just six years?"
"Deputy Minister, but temporarily serving as mayor."
"The deputy director is also very powerful."
He Anxia nodded, looking proud, "Are you surprised? I am surprised too. If I hadn't worked with him before, I would have suspected that he was the illegitimate child of one of the above.
The fact is, all of his achievements were achieved step by step.
After graduation, with his excellent academic performance, he could have stayed in the provincial party committee and government, but he went to the township instead. At such a young age, he dared to rush into that drug-producing village to investigate.
As He Anxia spoke, Sha Ruijin felt a strange sense of familiarity in his mind, and he couldn't help but interrupt, "Wait, Anxia, is the person you are talking about called Qi Tongwei?"
Now it was He Anxia's turn to be surprised, "You really know him?"
"It's really him!" Sha Ruijin was surprised and delighted. "Not only do I know him, we've known each other for many years. I didn't expect him to come to Hanjiang too."
"This... is too much of a coincidence." He Anxia was stunned.
With Qi Tongwei as a common friend, the goodwill between the two sides reached a new level.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when the two of them walked out of the hotel, still a little tipsy.
He Anxia couldn't accept the bumpy drive of nearly ten hours a day, so he suggested going back together tomorrow. Sha Ruijin agreed. He still had a lot of information about Qi Tongwei that he wanted to ask He Anxia and hear about the legend of his little brother over the years.
The two of them drank in the guesthouse until late at night.
Of course, during this period, He Anxia did not forget to call Qi Tongwei to tell him this important news. Unfortunately, Qi Tongwei's phone was always busy, so he had to give up.
