Before noon.
Zhao Xu's office.
After Dong Xuebing and the rest left, Zhao Xu picked up the phone on the table and called the City's Finance Department Chief, Wei Lin. "Hello, Chief Wei. I'm Zhao Xu."
"Hello, Mayor Zhao."
"The people from Zhen Shui County are here."
"Hmm? So fast? "
"He just left my place. He might have gone to the Finance Bureau. I wanted to tell you first."
"Mayor Zhao, what do you think of my side? How much did you pay them? "
"There's no hurry. Do as you see fit." Although he said that he would do as he saw fit, the words "no hurry" clearly expressed Zhao Xu's attitude.
"Oh, alright, I understand," Wei Lin said.
"Oh, do you know the Executive Deputy Mayor of Zhen Shui County called Dong Xuebing?"
"Dong Xuebing? He called me yesterday, and his tone was very bad. He even threatened me on the phone. This time, he's the one asking for money? " But since Deputy Mayor Zhao had asked about Dong Xuebing, Wei Lin knew what Deputy Mayor Zhao was trying to say. He replied. "I had asked around last night. This Xiao Dong had made a few contributions, and that's why he was promoted so fast. But he is from Hebei Province and had just been transferred here. He does not have any connections here, and I don't know where he got his confidence from."
"There's something wrong with this person's mind."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xu shook his head slightly. He had been transferred to Meihe City alone, and a deputy county head with no background dared to stare at him? Isn't this a little ridiculous? If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know who you are! You're not going to give in to me? Then let's just wait! Let's see who can outlast who! Now that the money was in the hands of the City Finance Department, Zhao Xu and the rest were not in a hurry. They were not the ones who were in a hurry.
…
Outside the municipal party committee compound.
Dong Xuebing and the rest boarded the Land Rover.
"Mayor Dong." Yan Yizhi hesitated.
Dong Xuebing looked at him. "Old Yan, just say it."
Yan Yizhi hesitated. "I think the City has the intention to give us money. If we have too much conflict with Mayor Zhao, then …"
"You can't get any money?"
"Yes, that's how I feel."
"But how much do you think the city will give us?"
"Uh, I don't think it will be much. If we fight for it, how about a few million?"
"I've already said it before I came. Not even 50 million less! They had to get everything back! So, even if the city gives you a few million, you don't have to take it! "
Yan Yizhi and Chen Xiaomei looked at each other helplessly and didn't say anything. They still felt that it was impossible.
This is Dong Xuebing's bad temper, and he will never change it!
Challenge? I'm going to f * cking challenge you guys this time! Let's see who can challenge who!
Dong Xuebing looked at Yao Cui angrily. "Xiao Yao, go to the City Finance Department. Let's go!"
If Dong Xuebing was angry when the City Government intercepted his money yesterday, now, he is disgusted by the City Government's attitude. They are taking our money and not returning it to us, and you still dare to say you are doing this for us?! Threaten us? Using your power to oppress others?
You think I'm afraid of you? Go to hell!
Don't you know who I am?!
Putting on airs with me? Putting on airs with me? Using our money to disgust our county with such a shameless face?
Alright, aren't you guys disgusting us? I'm going to disgust all of you today! Why aren't you paying us? Let's wait and see! I will let all of you beg us to return our money!
Dong Xuebing had an idea in his mind.
When it comes to politics, Dong Xuebing is not mature. But when it comes to evil ideas, he can come up with them easily!
Evil ideas?
Disgust others?
Dong Xuebing is invincible!
Dong Xuebing had wanted to clear his name in Zhen Shui County without using other means. But he had no choice. Dong Xuebing can't stand it anymore. He must go back to his old ways!
… …
City Finance Department.
Dong Xuebing parked his car outside and walked into the building with his men. The security guard at the entrance did not stop them and let them in.
But before they entered the building, Dong Xuebing's phone rang.
It's County Party Secretary Meng Rui's office number. Dong Xuebing turned to them and said: "You all go in first. I need to answer this call."
"Ok."
"Ok."
Yan Yizhi, Chen Xiaomei, and Yao Cui entered the building.
Dong Xuebing walked to the side and saw no one was around before answering. "Hello, Secretary Meng."
Meng Rui asked: "Mayor Dong, have you contacted the City Government? Let me know if there is anything. "
Dong Xuebing nodded and said: "I just came out from Deputy Mayor Zhao's office. Deputy Mayor Zhao is very stubborn and does not want to give us the money. I think he is trying to drag our time. Maybe he wants to test our patience before he gives us the money. Even if he will give us the money, it should not be a lot. It should be a few million at most. Also, I think the City Government is not in the right place. Yesterday, they held a Party Committee meeting, and today, they are holding a Party Committee meeting. I am afraid …"
Meng Rui kept quiet. "Mayor Jiang, what do you think?"
The call was on loudspeaker, and Jiang Fangfang was also in the room?
Jiang Fangfang calmly said: "A few months ago, I heard that the City has the intention to set up a new quarters for the City's Party Committee. The previous estate is too old, but there is a lack of funds. That's why the construction had not started." Mayor Jiang did not say what she meant, but it was clear what she meant.
Setting up a new quarters?
They might be using our money?
Dong Xuebing's face turned black. If this was really the case, then the City Government had gone overboard! We are taking money to serve the people! Roads and city buildings are all for the people to have a better life! We are taking money from the people and using it for the people! The Central Government's money is also the people's taxes! What about you all? You all are using our money to build your own quarters? To let you all live comfortably? Damn! What the hell are you all doing? How can you all lack money? You all do not lack money at all!
You all are too greedy!
Dong Xuebing was furious again!
Meng Rui thought for a while. "Even if the City wants to build the quarters, they should not use our money. This information still needs to be verified, but … we cannot wait any longer! We must get our money back as soon as possible. Mayor Dong, we will need your help. Hurry up and get as much as we can! We must get back a few million first! "Secretary Meng was panicking. If the City really deducts this sum of money, then …
Dong Xuebing asked: "A few million?"
"You just try to get as much as you can!"
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and said. "I know time is tight now, but I still think we should get back all our money. I still have 45 million left, and I want to try."
Secretary Meng was stunned. "All of it?"
Dong Xuebing nodded. "All of it."
Jiang Fangfang said. "This is not realistic."
"You also said the City Government is not willing to get back even 20 million. Why are you saying you want to get back all the money now?" Meng Rui replied seriously. "Xiao Dong, you had worked hard to get back this sum of money from the Central Government. I know you are not willing, and Mayor Jiang and I are the same. But you better give up on this idea. If you go to the City Government with this idea, it might backfire. You might not even get back a single cent. We cannot think too much now. Get back the money as soon as possible. A few million is better than nothing. Do you understand what I mean? Just get as much as you can. Sigh … let's think of other ways to get the rest of the money in the future. "
Dong Xuebing paused for a few seconds and insisted. "Secretary Meng, Mayor Jiang, let me try. I cannot take this lying down!"
Meng Rui's face changed. "This is not about being angry! Do you understand? "
Dong Xuebing heard this and felt there is no need to retort. Although he did not change his mind, he still asked. "What's the limit?"
"Wait a minute." Secretary Meng replied.
There was no reply from the other end of the line. Both of them seemed to be discussing and muted the phone.
One minute later, Dong Xuebing got through again. It was Secretary Meng. "If you can get back another 10 million. If not, it must not be lower than 6 million."
Dong Xuebing replied. "Ok. I understand."
Secretary Meng nodded. "We will wait for your good news and report back to you. If you need any support from the County, just let me know."
"Ok. I will go to the Finance Department now."
"Take note of your methods and try not to cause any conflicts."
The call ended, and Dong Xuebing kept his phone in his pocket. He was not in a hurry to enter the office and lit a cigarette outside. He was thinking about his plan.
Between 6 million to 10 million?
Dong Xuebing did not take Secretary Meng's words to heart. Since he said he will get back every cent, he will get back every cent!
No one can take advantage of him!
Every cent? Not even half a cent!
… …
Office building.
Yan Yizhi and Chen Xiaomei were standing in the resting area on the first floor. They were chatting softly with the staff beside them from time to time.
Yao Cui had gone to get some water. When she saw Dong Xuebing, she passed him a disposable cup. "Have some water."
"Thank you." Dong Xuebing finished the cup in one gulp. "Old Yan, Old Chen!"
Yan Yizhi did not say anything to the staff and walked back with Chen Xiaomei. "Mayor Dong, they said Chief Wei is not around."
Dong Xuebing narrowed his eyes. "Not around? Where did he go? "
Yan Yizhi replied. "He went to a meeting and asked us to come back in the afternoon."
Dong Xuebing asked. "Which floor is Chief Wei's office on?"
Yan Yizhi had been there many times. "The end of the third floor."
Dong Xuebing walked in front. "Let's go upstairs!"
Now, Dong Xuebing is full of fighting spirit! The City Government might be using the Central Government's relief funds to build a new building for the City's leaders. Dong Xuebing is furious! It doesn't matter if this is true or not! Dong Xuebing is not going to hold back!
