In the meeting room.
"I support Mayor Jiang's suggestion!"
Dong Xuebing's voice was loud, and the rest of the County's Party Committee members were stunned. No one had expected Dong Xuebing to say this!
Jiang Fangfang looked at Dong Xuebing.
Meng Rui's face changed and looked at him.
Zhang Wanshui and Cheng Fuguang frowned.
Ci Boyang and Jiang Hai's face changed slightly!
Actually, Dong Xuebing's appointment does not have much effect on Zhen Shui County's situation. Secretary Meng has the final say here, and Dong Xuebing's vote on the Standing Committee is not necessary for both sides. No matter which side Dong Xuebing stands on, it will not change Secretary Meng's side. But even if it is not necessary, there is still a political significance. No matter which side Dong Xuebing stands on, he will be noticed. Sometimes, attitude is more important than effect. If Dong Xuebing stands on Secretary Meng's side, it will be the icing on the cake. With Secretary Meng's support, he will be able to go further. This is very important to Dong Xuebing. But if Dong Xuebing stands on Mayor Jiang's side, he will be suffering. Secretary Meng's faction will suppress him, and he will face many obstacles in his work. That's why even though Dong Xuebing is the Executive Deputy Mayor, everyone thought he will stay neutral and stand on Secretary Meng's side. This way, he will not fall out with Mayor Jiang.
This is the general trend.
Who doesn't know what to do?
Everyone wanted to move up, so they naturally had to observe the situation and not ask for trouble!
That's why when Dong Xuebing said this, everyone's first reaction is if Mayor Dong had said something wrong. Why would he support Mayor Jiang during the first Standing Committee meeting? Anyone with the slightest bit of political wisdom wouldn't do this, right? What does this mean?
Jumping into the fire pit?
Who would be so stupid??
After interacting with Dong Xuebing for the past few days, Dong Xuebing had shown a mature attitude. That's why they did not think Dong Xuebing would do this. But what they don't know is this is not Dong Xuebing's true character. It's not that Dong Xuebing does not have political wisdom or does not know how to be a government official. But once Dong Xuebing loses his temper, Dong Xuebing will not care about anything. Factions, power struggles, County Party Committee Secretary … Who cares?!
Remain neutral?
The moment Dong Xuebing saw Chu Peng stab Jiang Fangfang in the back, he had decided to remain neutral!
Dong Xuebing had seen Chu Peng walking out of Mayor Jiang's office earlier, and Chu Peng and Mayor Jiang did not seem to have a good discussion. Dong Xuebing also doesn't want to know why. He only knows that if Chu Peng remained neutral or sided with Party Secretary Meng, Mayor Jiang's life will not be easy. Jiang Fangfang's position as Mayor will be affected. Once the City Government knows Mayor Jiang has lost her standing in the Party Committee, they will doubt Jiang Fangfang's capabilities. She might even be replaced with a new Mayor. That's why Chu Peng's decision to give up the position is fatal to Mayor Jiang. Dong Xuebing is furious. He does not want Mayor Jiang to be transferred away, and he can't stand to see a group of old men oppressing Jiang Fangfang.
No one supports her?
Fine! I support her!
Dong Xuebing's thinking is simple. At this critical moment, he will still do what he wants. Also, he agrees with Jiang Fangfang's policies.
One second …
Two seconds …
The meeting hall was quiet, and everyone was looking at Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing did not regret what he said and continued. "Mayor Jiang is right. The education funds must not be touched!"
If it was someone else who said this, no one would care. After all, the voting had ended, and Secretary Meng's suggestion had gotten the support of most of the people. But Dong Xuebing was the one voting. He was not only the County Government's Executive Deputy Mayor, but he was also the leader in charge of the Finance Department. Once he and Jiang Fangfang agreed, even Secretary Meng had to reconsider.
Publicity Department Head Cheng Fuguang frowned. "Mayor Dong, how are you going to settle the Finance?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "I don't care how you are going to settle it. Anyway, the education funds must not be touched."
Cheng Fuguang replied angrily. "You make it sound simple. But how is the County going to operate without money? How are the salaries going to be paid? Have you thought about this before? "
Dong Xuebing replied. "Minister Cheng, you are the leader of the Publicity Department, and you do not need to bear any responsibility. But I am in charge of Finance. What if the higher-ups pursue this matter?"
Cheng Fuguang replied angrily. "You …"
Deputy Secretary Zhang Wanshui interrupted. "This is not about responsibility!"
"But I think it is about the responsibility!" Dong Xuebing looked at Zhang Wanshui. "If anyone wants to touch the education funds, they can do so. But don't go through the Finance's account. I will not sign it."
Jiang Fangfang nodded and looked at Dong Xuebing.
Organization Department Head Liao Haiwei said. "Mayor Dong, you must consider the bigger picture!"
Dong Xuebing glanced at him. "Then I think Minister Liao should consider the bigger picture. If the education funds can go through your Organization Department's account, I will not interfere!"
Liao Haiwei was furious. "Who dares to use the Organization Department's account?"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "You are also not going to agree? I am not going to agree! "
The County's Party Committee Office Chief Jiang Hai looked at Dong Xuebing coldly. "Secretary Meng had said this is a temporary measure!"
Dong Xuebing replied. "I know this is a temporary measure, but we must have our principles. How can we touch the children's money? Even if we can repay this sum in the future! But we must not allow this to happen! We can make a loss, but not the children! I agree with Mayor Jiang! "
Deputy Mayor Ci Boyang immediately said. "Mayor Dong, we do not need so much money for the education funds now. We can wait until the Finance Department is in place."
"Wait?" Dong Xuebing looks at him. "Everything can wait, but how can we delay the people's affairs? Everything can be delayed, but how can we delay the children's education? All of you should know the situation in the towns better than me! The children do not have desks! No books! Some places do not even have money to hire teachers! Once we transfer the money over! How are we going to answer to the children? How are we going to answer to the people? Everyone had received their salaries, and 1 RMB might be a textbook for the children! We had used a few tens of RMB! Perhaps it was a desk that was meant for the children! How can we feel at ease taking the money? How can we feel at ease taking the money? Anyway, I can't! I would rather not get my salary for a year! I would rather live frugally for a year! I would rather wait at the City Finance Department every day to ask for money! I will also not use the money for the children! "
This is too much!
Everyone heard what Dong Xuebing said and kept quiet.
The United Front Work Department's Head of the neutral faction, Jian Xiangrong, looked at Dong Xuebing and laughed in his heart. This new Executive Deputy Mayor is too eloquent. Even six County's Party Committee members can't win against him in an argument? All of them were rendered speechless by him?
Dong Xuebing had a war of words today!
Everyone was shocked. If Dong Xuebing had voted for Mayor Jiang directly, it might not mean anything. But what he said now is his stand!
Dong Xuebing had chosen a side!
He had chosen Mayor Jiang's side without any hesitation!
From Dong Xuebing's actions, it seems Mayor Dong is going to be Mayor Jiang's pawn? He is going to be the frontline to help Mayor Jiang? Even the retired Executive Deputy Mayor and Chu Peng, who had a close relationship with Mayor Jiang, had only supported Jiang Fangfang in terms of votes. They had never argued with Secretary Meng at the Party Committee meeting. This is because no one wants to offend Secretary Meng's faction. But Dong Xuebing … Everyone is speechless.
What kind of person is he?
That was too unconventional!!
Meng Rui is getting impatient and looks at Dong Xuebing. "After talking for so long, I still have not heard anything about how to solve the financial problems. Everyone knows what you are talking about, but how are we going to solve the financial problems? Ah? "
Dong Xuebing replied fearlessly. "I agree with Mayor Jiang! Let's go to the Central Government to ask for money! "
Many people shook their heads. Go to the Central Government? Easy for you to say! But everyone knows it is impossible to get the money!
Meng Rui laughed and said. "No one wants to touch the education funds if they can get money. Fine. Mayor Dong, I will give you one week. I hope you will not disappoint us!" Who doesn't know how to make empty promises? Meng Rui threw this difficult question to Dong Xuebing to show his strength!
Go to the Central Government to ask for money?
How can they give you the money?!
But Dong Xuebing did not hesitate and replied. "Fine! I will go personally! "
Meng Rui nodded. "That's settled! I hope we can hear Mayor Dong's good news in one week! Meeting adjourned! "
Everyone looked at Dong Xuebing with different expressions and packed up their things before leaving the meeting. Because of Dong Xuebing's decision, many of the Mongolian officials who were close to Dong Xuebing earlier were not as friendly. They walked past Dong Xuebing coldly and carried on with their work.
… …
The meeting ended.
News of Dong Xuebing going to Jiang Fangfang's camp despite the pressure spread. Many people's first reaction was to wonder if Dong Xuebing was stupid.
After that, the details of the meeting started to spread.
The Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee switched sides … …
Mayor Dong wants to go to the Central Government to ask for money … …
Also, Dong Xuebing's war of words … …
Everyone broke out in a cold sweat after they heard that. Especially the story of this fellow's verbal battle with a group of heroes, it caused many people to be extremely shocked.
What a Mayor Dong!
More than half of the Standing Committee cannot win against him?! Damn! Are you from an opera troupe?!
