Afternoon.
Zhen Shui District.
The sun was shining brightly, and the ground was warm.
The Land Rover drove through the gate of the County Party Committee Compound.
Everyone was still on their lunch break, and many staff had just finished lunch in the cafeteria. When they saw the Land Rover, they started chatting.
In the car.
Dong Xuebing suddenly remembered something. "Oh, Cui Er, you did not come to the office this morning, right?"
"No." Yao Cui replied. "I drove to the airport from home. What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I am just asking. Haha … let's go." Dong Xuebing unfastened his seatbelt.
Yao Cui drove down to help Dong Xuebing carry his luggage. It was only the two of them at the airport, and they were old classmates. But now, they are in the office, and their status had changed. One is a leader, and the other is a secretary. Yao Cui has to carry his luggage. Dong Xuebing knew this and did not argue with her. Dong Xuebing had asked that question because Yao Cui was wearing the shoes and sunglasses he had bought for her. If Dong Xuebing had come to the office in the morning, everyone would have seen Yao Cui's outfit. Now, Yao Cui had changed into a new outfit, and everyone will gossip about her. Dong Xuebing wants to minimize the impact. As a person, he had to make progress.
Dong Xuebing and Dong Xuebing alighted.
"Mayor Dong!"
"Oh, Mayor Dong is back?"
"How are you feeling? Let me help you up. "
Many people walked up to greet Dong Xuebing when they saw him alighting from the bus. They were shocked. After all, Dong Xuebing had broken all his bones, and it will take at least three months for his bones to heal. Even if it doesn't take one to six months, it will take at least 100 days for his bones to heal.
It's only been one month!
How come you are back so soon?
You have recovered? That was too f * cking fast!
Dong Xuebing smiled and greeted everyone. "Thank you for your concern. I am much better now. Although I am not fully recovered, I should be fine."
Everyone was congratulating Dong Xuebing, but they were speechless. They kept looking at Dong Xuebing. What kind of body is he?!
Can he really leave?
Is he really fine?
After Dong Xuebing entered the office building, everyone looked at each other and smiled.
… …
Upstairs.
Along the corridor.
Dong Xuebing met the County Government Office Director Ma Bin and a few staff members.
Ma Bin was also surprised to see Dong Xuebing. He had not heard about Mayor Dong returning. "Mayor Dong? Have you recovered? "
Dong Xuebing laughed. "That's right, Old Ma. How is your office?"
Ma Bin was good with words. "It's all good, it's all good. It's just that without you, we don't have a backbone."
"Haha … it's not that serious." Dong Xuebing asked. "Oh, are Secretary Meng and Mayor Jiang around?"
Ma Bin said, "Secretary Meng might have gone out to eat and run some errands. I saw the car drive away, so he shouldn't be there. Mayor Jiang went to the canteen to eat and should be back soon."
Dong Xuebing agreed. "That's all for now." After that, he left.
The County Government Office's staff looked at Yao Cui, and their eyes lit up.
"Secretary Yao, you look beautiful today."
"Yes, especially this pair of shoes. They really suit you."
The few of them praised Yao Cui a few times, but it could be seen that they were sincere praises. Yao Cui was indeed very beautiful today, and it was a little breathtaking.
Yao Cui smiled. "Not at all. Let's not talk about it now." After that, she carried her luggage and left with Dong Xuebing.
… …
Executive Deputy Mayor's office.
In the office, Dong Xuebing took his luggage and chatted for a while before asking Yao Cui to go back to work. After Yao Cui left the office, Dong Xuebing sat in his office chair and lit a cigarette. It's been a while since he last saw his office, and he felt at ease. He had been out for a month, and it's time to settle down. This was the place where Dong Xuebing should fight. Everything else was meaningless.
The leaders were not around, and Dong Xuebing will go and greet them later.
Dong Xuebing took out the documents that Yao Cui had prepared for him from the drawer. He signed the ones that should be signed and put aside the ones that should be put aside.
In the beginning, the contents of the documents were still reliable.
But the more he read, the more the documents were useless.
The County's People's Hospital applied for surgical equipment, the Ministry of Education applied for school renovations, the Trade and Industry Bureau applied for vehicles, the Towns and Villages applied for subsidies. If it was just one or two documents, it would be fine. But there were more than 50 of these documents. The second drawer was full, and many of the Towns and Villages had used different names to apply for more than one form. These were not small amounts. Every application involved a few hundred thousand to a few million. If all of them were applied, even a few hundred million would not be enough! Now, the County's 40 million RMB was in the Finance Department's account. The Finance Department had the authority to make decisions for small amounts of money. The documents that could be passed to Dong Xuebing, the Deputy Mayor, were all relatively large amounts. Dong Xuebing could imagine that Yan Yizhi's Finance Department should have more documents than him. Even 200 documents should be considered a small number.
Headache!
This was too messy!
Dong Xuebing rubbed his temples and threw the documents on the table. Anyway, there was a Party Committee meeting tomorrow, and he will think about it then.
More than 1 million RMB should be discussed by the Party Committee. Dong Xuebing can make the decision and has the authority to make the decision. But he cannot make the decision alone. Dong Xuebing can make the decision on a few hundred thousand RMB, and he just needs to sign his name. But Dong Xuebing does not want to give out the money. The whole County was starving. Give out this amount? What about that? Give out that? What about this?
This needs to be discussed.
If not, it will be a problem.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Dong Xuebing looked up. "Come in."
The door opened, and it was Finance Department's Deputy Chief Chen Xiaomei. She was wearing a long dress, black stockings, and flat shoes. She was not young, but she still looks sexy.
"Mayor Dong."
"Chief Chen. Haha."
"I heard you are back, and I came over to have a look."
"You did not contact the Finance Department? This is too fast. "
"No. I had come to the County Government to settle some matters, and I came here for lunch."
"Come in. Please have a seat." Every time Dong Xuebing sees Chen Xiaomei, he will feel embarrassed. After all, he had touched the wrong person in Beijing Hotel and mistook Chen Xiaomei for Geng Yuehua. Not only did he kiss Chen Xiaomei's face, but his hands were also under her clothes. Thinking back, Dong Xuebing still remembers Chen Xiaomei's breasts. "Let me brew some tea for you. I had brought some tea leaves from Beijing."
Chen Xiaomei immediately said. "Let me do it myself."
"No need. Take a seat. How is the Bureau recently?" Dong Xuebing asked as he took out the tea leaves from his suitcase.
Chen Xiaomei did not sit down and helped Dong Xuebing with the tea leaves. She smiled. "Everything is fine. The County had repaid all the money owed to us, and our salaries are still paid. But it is a bit messy. We had not had a day of peace in the past month, and there are people asking for money every day. Many department heads had come to us, and they are all high-ranking officials. Even Chief Yan is having a hard time dealing with them."
"Did you let them go?"
"Of course not. We had only transferred some urgent funds, but they are still in the tens of thousands."
Dong Xuebing nodded. "You all did the right thing. Let's wait for the Party Committee meeting first."
Chen Xiaomei smiled helplessly. "We can't hold on any longer. It's hard to reject many leaders. Organization Department Head Liao Haiwei and Publicity Department Head Cheng Fuguang had called the Finance Department. The County's Deputy Party Secretary, Political and Legal Committee Secretary had also asked their men to look for us."
Dong Xuebing blinked. "What is Secretary Meng's opinion?"
Chen Xiaomei shook her head. "Secretary Meng and Mayor Jiang had not given us any instructions."
"No instructions? That is an order. "Dong Xuebing knew what Chen Xiaomei was thinking." Keep it under control. This time, we must not give face to anyone. "
Chen Xiaomei thought for a while. "But what if …"
Dong Xuebing interrupted. "Ask them to look for me if there are any problems."
Chen Xiaomei immediately interrupted. "How can we do that? You did not see their eyes. They … Sigh … I don't know what to say. You are feeling better, and …"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I can handle it. If not, I will not come to work. I had been away for a month, and your Finance Department had to bear all the pressure. Today, I am back, and I must help all of you. All of you had been working hard, and it's time for you all to take a break."
Chen Xiaomei replied. "You are the only one who knows our difficulties. Sigh … In the past, when the Finance Department did not have enough money, we wanted to have more. Now that we have money, we have to return … What do you think?"
This is such a big piece of meat, and it seems there are differences within the Mongolian faction. Everyone wants a piece of the meat, and Meng Rui should not be able to mediate. That's why he did not say anything. The Mongolian faction might seem to be united, but which faction will always be harmonious? All factions are bound by the same interests, and they had come together for their own benefits. But now, when it comes to their own interests, there will be differences.
If the money is given to the Publicity Department, what will the Organization Department think?
If the Organization Department is given a large sum of money, what will the Political and Legal Committee think?
There is a solution, and that is to give them all. But they only have 40 million left, not 400 million. Even if they give them all, it will not be enough.
Meng Rui will also have a headache.
If they cannot mediate, there will be internal divisions within the Mongolian faction.
It should be the same for Jiang Fangfang. Even if she does not have as many connections as Meng Rui, she had been working in Zhen Shui County for many years. She has connections in many areas, and it will be hard for her.
Dong Xuebing shook his head. Zhen Shui County was too poor, and no one can sit still when there is so much money. If it were other Counties, they will not be in trouble over such a small amount of money. Even the County's Party Secretary and Mayor could not control the situation. In other rich places, this would never happen. There was nothing they could do about it. This was the true face of the grassroots!
