We want to see the mayor.
We want to see the mayor.
The shouting from downstairs was getting louder and louder. The people in the room couldn't pretend to be deaf and mute. Chen Xing glanced at Chen Jianshe and stood up. It seemed that he couldn't finish the meal today.
After Chen Xing said that, he walked out. Seeing that Chen Xing stopped eating, the others quickly put down their chopsticks and stood up. Chen Xing, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and the people behind him stopped. Chen Xing glanced at the table and put his hand into his pocket. Hey, he didn't have the habit of carrying money, so he didn't have much money in his pocket.
Chen Xing smiled and took out the only 500 yuan from his pocket. He turned to Yu Zhiyuan and said, "Xiaoyu, how much money do you have? Give me 1,000 yuan, and I will give it to you later."
Hearing that, Yu Zhiyuan took out his wallet, took out five banknotes and handed them to Chen Xing.
Chen Xing walked to the table with 1,000 yuan in his hand and put the money down.
Seeing Chen Xing's action, Kong Zhengliang and the others hurriedly took out their money from their pockets. Their actions were so neat that it looked a little comical. The Executive Deputy Mayor, the Secretary General of the Municipal Government... all the high-ranking leaders in the city reached out for money and placed it on the table, including Chen Xing and Kong Zhengliang's secretary. Both of them took out 1,000 yuan each.
The people on Jiang Qi's side looked at each other and didn't know what to do. They wanted to take out money too. This meal was hosted in the name of Jiang Qi, so it was not appropriate for them to pay. But if they didn't, the leaders in the city would.
The others didn't know what to do. They all peeped at Chen Jianshe's face. Seeing that Chen Jianshe was expressionless, no one dared to say anything.
Chen Jianshe was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. What did Chen Xing mean by this? This was clearly a slap in his face. This meal was beyond the normal reception standard, and Chen Xing still ate what he was supposed to eat. However, after eating, he took out money and put it on the table. His meaning couldn't be more obvious. This was an excessive reception meal, and he had to pay for it himself. What was this to contrast? On the contrary, under the background of the strict implementation of the eight rules by all levels of departments, which prohibited eating and drinking with public funds, he, the person in charge of a state-owned enterprise, was still indulging in extravagance and violating the rules by receiving guests who exceeded the standard.
Chen Xing put the money down and turned to go out. Chen Jianshe looked at the hundred-dollar bills on the table. His face twitched. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't. Seeing that Chen Xing had gone out, he could only stamp his feet and chase after him. Although the situation in front of him made him angry, the situation downstairs made him even more anxious. There must be a traitor in the management of the factory! Chen Jianshe gritted his teeth.
Downstairs, when they saw Chen Xing come out, the shouting of the workers was lowered. At this time, someone shouted, "We want to pay the wages."
It was a young man who shouted. However, seeing that everyone else was quiet and he was the only one who popped his head out, the young man quickly shrank back into the crowd and didn't dare to come out again.
I was eating upstairs just now, and I heard everyone shouting that they wanted to see me. I don't know what you want? Chen Xing looked at the crowd and asked pleasantly.
Mayor, we heard that you and the company's leaders ate and drank upstairs. I don't know if it's true or not. A middle-aged worker plucked up his courage and asked.
"Well, you're right." Chen Xing nodded. As soon as Chen Xing said this, the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar. Many workers even said something emotionally, but it was covered by the voices of the crowd.
Chen Xing didn't say anything and let the workers vent their emotions for a while. Then Chen Xing raised his hand to signal the crowd to be quiet and said with a smile, "Although the factory received us for the dinner tonight, we paid for it ourselves. If you don't believe me, you can go up and have a look."
As Chen Xing said this, he looked around at the crowd and said, "But I think you gathered here not to ask about the problem of a meal, but to ask for something else."
"Our demand is to pay the wages you owe us. Your leaders eat and drink here, and a meal can easily cost thousands of yuan, but they have been delaying the wages of our workers. It's so disappointing." The workers shouted loudly.
"As for the problem of wages, I have said it once when I came here last time. The city will try its best to urge the factory to solve it. It seems that the factory has not given you a satisfactory answer." Chen Xing answered the crowd. "But I think you have also heard that the city has sent a working group to Jiangqi. What is the task of this working group?" "I think you may only know one thing but not the other. Since there is such an opportunity today, I will have a good talk with you."
"In addition to the normal financial audit of Jiangqi, our working group has a more important task, which is to understand the situation of Jiangqi and discuss the way out and future development of the factory with the management of Jiangqi. That is to say, the purpose of the city is not only to solve the current problem of wage arrears, but also to make Jiangqi develop better."
"If Jiangqi develops well, what good will it do for you?" "Not only will such a situation of wage arrears not happen again, but as long as the efficiency of the factory is getting better and better, you can not only get your wages in time, but also get a raise, and even get various benefits and bonuses. Don't you look forward to these?"
Chen Xing spoke slowly, but his words were very infectious. The noisy workers were quiet for a while. However, as soon as Chen Xing finished speaking, someone questioned him. "What he said sounds good, but who knows whether it is true or not."
"Whether it is true or not, you will know after seeing it. As the mayor, since I have spoken here, you will not be the only ones who have heard it. I believe that what I said today will also be spread out, and many people will hear it. If I lie, wouldn't I be slapping myself in the face?" Chen Xing smiled lightly. "Sitting in my position, slapping myself in the face is very painful."
There was a burst of laughter on the scene. Obviously, Chen Xing's performance had won the approval of the workers. In the eyes of the workers, the mayor in front of them was not so high and mighty, and even a little down-to-earth. What he said was quite to everyone's taste, which made people feel a little good about him.
The workers reacted very well, but the rest of the people had different expressions. When Kong Zhengliang heard what Chen Xing said, he secretly worried for Chen Xing. Just now, he intended to stop Chen Xing from saying those words, but in the end, he didn't have time to stop him, because he didn't expect that Chen Xing would say those words in public. The fact was as Chen Xing said, as the mayor, Chen Xing might really slap himself in the face in the future. However, since he had said those words, it was impossible to take them back.
