This is the first time Lu Yiwei lost his temper after coming to Long 'an County. He is not an impatient person, but he could not hold it in any longer. His anger is bursting out from his chest.
Chai Mingrong is not afraid of the County party committee Secretary who is more than 10 years younger than him. He even felt wronged. "Secretary Lu, we have tried our best. There is nothing we can do even if the roads are bad. For the past few days, I've been sticking to my post, day and night, not daring to relax for even a moment. "
"Who do you think is resting? Am I resting? All the people in the county, even the whole country, have not rested. All of them are involved in the disaster relief. Give me a deadline. When can the supplies be shipped back? "
Chai Mingrong was full of anger and said angrily, "Secretary Lu, since you've said this, then I have to give you the actual situation. The County is not giving us any money for the supplies. Even the cleverest housewife cannot cook without rice. The previous few batches of supplies are on credit. This time, the County must pay the bills. How can I work without money? "
Lu Yiwei looked at him. "The County did not give you any money?"
"No. Not a single cent."
"Did you ask the Finance Department for the money?"
"Yes. They said they will not give me the money without the County Mayor's signature."
"Mayor Liu did not sign?"
"… …"
Seeing Dong Xuebing hesitating, Lu Yiwei recalled the previous incidents. He is furious. "Go and draft a report. I will sign how much money you need."
Chai Mingrong is unmoved. Lu Yiwei stared at him. "Why? My signature does not work?"
Chai Mingrong said bluntly. "Secretary Lu, you might not understand the situation in Long 'an. The County Finance Department needs the County Mayor's signature for every cent spent. Other than that …"
Lu Yiwei kept quiet for a while. "When will the latest batch of supplies come back?"
"It should be tomorrow morning. But I contacted the Finance Department today. It should be next week."
Lu Yiwei gritted his teeth. "Do you know many people in the county are starving? Can they wait until next week?"
Chai Mingrong lowered his head and said nothing.
Lu Yiwei suppressed his anger and waved his hand disappointedly. "You can go first."
Chai Mingrong got up and swaggered out without giving any explanation.
Looking at his back, Lu Yiwei crumpled the draft paper on the table into a ball and clutched it tightly in his hand. He wanted to remove it immediately to vent his anger. He knew in his heart that many people were not afraid of him, especially those who were older than him. Even for the "Three Lectures" this time, many units had become a mere formality, dealing with errands. Some units didn't even hold a meeting to carry out the implementation. When they returned to the unit, they casually threw the documents aside and did what they were supposed to do. According to what he knew, all the villages and towns had basically held a mobilization meeting, but some units directly under the county government did not pay enough attention to it.
The highlight of the "Three Lectures" was the second segment. Every unit was required to hold a democratic organizational life meeting. At that time, they were to strictly supervise them. They would not stop until they dug into the depths of their souls. For now, he had to restrain himself. He wouldn't be easily moved unless the time was right. Before adjusting the personnel, he had to stabilize the standing committee first.
After his anger subsided, Lu Yiwei hung up the phone. "Changyuan, come in."
Xu Changyuan came in and saw Lu Yiwei's ugly expression. He quickly poured a glass of water and said carefully. "Secretary Lu, you were looking for me?"
Lu Yiwei threw him a cigarette and leaned back on the chair. "Changyuan, what's the situation with Liang Haiping from the Finance Bureau?"
Xu Changyuan immediately understood what he meant and said cautiously. "Liang Haiping was originally the Discipline Inspection Secretary of Yong Sheng Town. He was later transferred to the Finance Bureau and became the Deputy Director. He held the position for seven years and was appointed as the Director last term."
When Yong Sheng Town was mentioned, it was basically related to Liu Zhankui. "When he was in Yong Sheng Town, what was Mayor Liu's position?"
"Uh … He was the Party Committee Secretary."
"Oh, how was his performance in the Finance Bureau?"
Xu Changyuan felt that there was no need to hide in front of Lu Yiwei. "Secretary Lu, actually, after Liang Haiping was transferred to the Finance Bureau, he has been in charge of the Finance Bureau. Because the then Director Gao Lingyun was in poor health, he took a long leave of absence. Later, he decided to retire early and has been resting at home ever since."
"What illness?"
"It seems to be kidney failure. He was in good health at first, but after Liang Haiping went there, he suddenly fell ill. Although there is no contact between them, there are rumors that Gao Lingyun was harmed. No one dares to make a conclusion about the truth. "
Hearing this shocking news, Lu Yiwei immediately sat up and stared with his eyes wide open. "Is it true?"
"It's just a rumor. It's not credible."
Lu Yiwei thought for a moment and said. "Then where is Gao Lingyun now?"
"He is from Long 'an. He is currently living in the city and rarely comes back."
"Okay, we will pay our respects to the old cadres and Party members. Include his name in the list. Apart from him, I also want to meet the previous County party committee secretary. Find a suitable time for you to arrange. "
"Okay."
Lu Yiwei did not want to delve further into this issue. Disaster relief was his main focus. "Get Zhao Xiaojun and Liang Haiping to come over now."
Ten minutes later, Zhao Xiaojun knocked on the door and came in. "Secretary Lu, are you looking for me?" he asked with a smile.
Lu Yiwei had a good impression of him, and he wanted to put him in an important position in the future. Getting him to train in the office of the Three Lecture Activities was to find a reason for him to be promoted in the future. Zhao Xiaojun was also very smart. He knew what this activity meant, so he worked hard to grasp this opportunity.
Lu Yiwei did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. "Xiao Jun, the county is in urgent need of a batch of supplies. As for how much we need, you can contact Changyuan. I hope we can distribute this batch of supplies tomorrow."
Zhao Xiaojun rolled his eyes and said, "No problem. I will get it done immediately."
"Do you have enough money for the hotel?"
"Is it enough to serve the bigger picture? Supplies are like ammunition."
Lu Yiwei was very satisfied with his attitude. "Okay, then hurry up and get it done."
After Zhao Xiaojun left, Liang Haiping came in. He took out a newly opened box of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Lu Yiwei. He then put down the box and sat on the sofa, waiting for his lecture.
Lu Yiwei had been thinking about how to talk to him. After a minute of silence, he sat up and extinguished the cigarette. "Why didn't you give the money to Wanlong Town?"
Liang Haiping was prepared on the way and immediately replied, "Secretary Lu, it's not that we didn't give it, but the national treasury has stopped paying. There's not much money in the account, and we need to keep some for the current central work. I was thinking of putting the money into next year.
