Afternoon.
A small meeting room.
This month, the second County Party Committee meeting is about to be held.
Other than the staff from the County's Party Committee, Dong Xuebing was the first County Leader to arrive. He sat down on his seat and took a sip of his tea. He calmed himself down and moistened his throat with a thermos flask from his office.
One sip …
Two sips …
Three sips …
What's the point of moistening his throat?
There might be a fight later, and he must be prepared.
Pu An and Jian Xiangrong were in charge of different departments, and they have the right to vote on many decisions. But they do not have the right to say anything. As for the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, Chu Peng, whose wife was rescued by Dong Xuebing, Dong Xuebing also does not know what is going on with him. He seems to be on Jiang Fangfang's side. But after all, both sides had just started fighting, and Dong Xuebing is not sure if Chu Peng will do his best. That's why the Jiang Department might seem to be doing well, and there are more and more higher-ups joining. But Dong Xuebing is not sure if Chu Peng will do his best. That's why even though the Jiang Department is doing well, and there are more higher-ups joining, Dong Xuebing is the only one who gets criticized and argued at the Standing Committee.
Dong Xuebing had no choice.
Dong Xuebing is too talkative.
After a while, more people entered the meeting room.
"Oh, Mayor Dong, you are so early?" Pu An arrived first.
"Yes. I am a little earlier." Dong Xuebing laughed.
Pu An sniffed. "What tea are you drinking? Why is it so fragrant? It smells like good tea. "
"What good tea is it?" Organization Department Head Liao Haiwei entered the meeting room.
Pu An laughed and told Dong Xuebing. "Old Liao loves tea. Don't mention tea leaves in front of him. You must protect your stock."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I don't know. I just drank it randomly."
Liao Haiwei sniffed and nodded. "It should be West Lake Longjing tea, and it's the highest quality tea. Good tea."
His nose is sharp.
He still has not tasted it.
Pu An laughed. "What did I tell you?"
Dong Xuebing replied nonchalantly. "Head Liao, if you like it, I will get my secretary to bring you 250 grams."
"Don't, half a catty is too much." Liao Haiwei didn't stand on ceremony. "I'll just take one tael. I'll get you some good tea leaves later. I won't take advantage of you."
Although Dong Xuebing had "scolded" many of the Mongolian faction's leaders during the previous Party Committee meetings, other than Deputy Secretary Zhang Wanshui, Dong Xuebing could still talk to the rest of the Mongolian faction's leaders in private. They could even joke around and even have a meal together. This was the norm in the government. It was impossible for the leaders to not talk to each other just because they were from different factions.
Behind them, Chu Peng also arrived.
"Secretary Chu is here?" Dong Xuebing asked.
Chu Peng looks at Dong Xuebing. "I heard you had moved to the Investment Promotion Agency? She's even a receptionist at the front desk? Is that so? "
Publicity Department Head Cheng Fuguang, who followed Dong Xuebing into the office, said. "Haha … I also heard about it. Mayor Dong, are you doing this yourself?" No TV station had gone over to interview Dong Xuebing, and it's pointless to do it alone. Cheng Fuguang is in charge of publicity, and this is what he thought of. Dong Xuebing replied.
Dong Xuebing replied. "Yes, but we have no choice. Our Investment Promotion Agency does not have enough staff. From the Bureau Chief to the staff, there are only four people, and it is time for the City's investment fair. Minister Cheng, we cannot be compared to you all. I heard you all have a lot of people in your marketing department. Can you lend me a few people?"
Cheng Fuguang quickly waved his hand. "No. We also lack manpower."
In the government sector, one can borrow connections, but not people. There is no such procedure.
Cheng Fuguang's words were rejected by Dong Xuebing, and he returned to his seat. He knows he cannot win against Dong Xuebing in an argument. If he continues to argue with Dong Xuebing, Dong Xuebing might say something nasty. Cheng Fuguang turned to Liao Haiwei, who is on the same side as Dong Xuebing. Everyone had experienced Dong Xuebing's bad mouth.
One after another, almost everyone had arrived.
The last to enter is Meng Rui and Jiang Fangfang.
The first thing Meng Rui said when he walked in was to Chu Peng. When he walked past him, he said, "Old Chu, how is your wife's health?"
Chu Peng replied. "Her stitches are removed, and she should be fine."
Meng Rui nodded. "That's good." Then he sat down.
Dong Xuebing looked at Secretary Meng and continued drinking his tea.
Secretary Meng's secretary, Zhang Feng, was the last to close the door. He carried a stack of documents and passed them the contents of today's meeting.
Secretary Meng cleared his throat. "Let's start the meeting."
Everyone immediately sat up straighter and became more alert.
At the start, the contents of the meeting are ordinary topics. They are mainly asking about the County's plans and the implementation of the plans. They will also read out the Provincial and City Government's documents and policies. No one has any disagreements, and the meeting lasted for more than an hour. Secretary Meng and Mayor Jiang are the only ones speaking. It's a boring meeting. Dong Xuebing almost fell asleep from listening to them. He drank his tea in a daze and did not have the chance to argue with them.
Around three o 'clock.
Dong Xuebing's topic is finally brought up.
"Next. Let's talk about the investment fair." Secretary Meng flipped to the next page. "The City's investment fair will be held in four days. Mayor Dong, how is your side doing?"
Dong Xuebing put down his teacup. "We are preparing now."
Secretary Meng looks at Dong Xuebing. "How many investors are you all confident of getting?"
Dong Xuebing had promised Jiang Fangfang that he would win. But when the County's Party Secretary asked him this question, he replied. "We are not confident."
Secretary Meng frowned. "Not confident?"
Zhang Wanshui opened fire. Dong Xuebing had messed up his son's wedding, and he wants to fight with Dong Xuebing. "You are in charge of the Investment Fair, and if you are not confident, how can the rest do it? This is not a problem of confidence. It is a problem of your attitude. "
Dong Xuebing stared at Zhang Ruiqiang and said. "Secretary Zhang, I will give you 500,000 RMB for the four people in your department. Are you confident enough to show me? This is not confidence. That is blindness! If there is a problem with my attitude, I will not move my office to the Investment Promotion Agency. There are only four people, and I am so busy that I don't even know where to go. No one is answering my phone, and I have to go to the front desk to be an operator! I've done all that I can and I've done all that I can. I'd like to hear what's wrong with my mindset and attitude. "
Zhang Wanshui almost scolded Dong Xuebing. You always have something to say!
Dong Xuebing's eloquence is not because he is good at scolding people. He is good at retorting no matter how others criticize him, and he will always stand on the moral high ground. No one can find fault with him.
"I don't have money and manpower." Dong Xuebing shrugged and looked at Meng Rui. "Secretary Meng, I can't do anything without rice."
Everyone can tell Dong Xuebing is complaining about being poor and asking for more policies.
Cheng Fuguang interrupted. "The Investment Promotion Agency had not made any outstanding achievements, and we need to streamline our organization. Four people is not a small number. You all …"
Dong Xuebing interrupted. "Four people is not a small number? Minister Cheng, I don't need your Publicity Department. Just your TV Station, is four people enough? One Station Chief, one Director, one reporter, and one anchor. Can you let those four people do a news report for me? Results? Even if our Investment Promotion Agency had not attracted a lot of investments in the past, it should be about the same as your TV Station's advertising revenue. "
Cheng Fuguang replied. "The nature of our work is different. Our TV Station's focus is on politics, and you all …"
"How is it different?" Dong Xuebing looks at him. "We are all serving the people. Why are your Publicity Department's departments more prestigious than our Investment Promotion Agency?"
Cheng Fuguang retorted. "I did not say we are more prestigious!"
"Then how come your departments have more people than our Investment Promotion Agency?" Dong Xuebing started to pester Cheng Fuguang.
As the head of the Publicity Department, Cheng Fuguang is good at speaking. Without a script, he can speak for half an hour without repeating the same thing. After all, this is his job. But facing Dong Xuebing, who is unreasonable and confusing, Cheng Fuguang is frustrated. Cheng Fuguang can't reason with Dong Xuebing, and in the end, Dong Xuebing can't even explain himself. In the end, Dong Xuebing still managed to twist his words and make it seem like Cheng Fuguang is in the wrong. After arguing for a while, Cheng Fuguang did not say anything about Dong Xuebing. He was so tired that he gulped down a few mouthfuls of water. Every time he speaks to Dong Xuebing, he will be angry.
After rebutting two people, Dong Xuebing's morale soared. He took the opportunity to speak to everyone. "Everyone should know our Investment Promotion Agency's situation. We do not have our own office building, funds, and manpower. Our Investment Promotion Agency cannot even compete with the Ministry of Cultural Affairs. I am also confident of getting more investments in this City's investment fair, but I can't do anything about it."
Secretary Meng replied. "The County also needs money. Every department needs it."
Dong Xuebing replied. "It's fine if we don't have money, but we don't have enough manpower. How are we going to split manpower?"
Dong Xuebing is in charge of the County's finances, and he is not trying to squeeze the County dry.
Dong Xuebing's aim is to get this person's position. This is his priority.
