Old Village Head, why don't you speak? Did you tell the truth? Ji Yifei looked at Zhang Guoliang with a smile.
Old Village Chief Zhang Guoliang's face was completely red and he couldn't answer. Looking at the little girl in front of him who was younger than him by a few decades, Zhang Guoliang thought to himself that this little girl was beautiful, but her smile made people flustered.
Mayor Chen, I don't think Old Village Head and the others have received the full poverty subsidy. Ji Yifei turned to look at Chen Xing. She had been secretly observing Chen Xing just now. She believed that Chen Xing could also see some clues from Zhang Guoliang's expression.
Old Village Head, is what this lady said true? Chen Xing looked at Zhang Guoliang and saw that Zhang Guoliang wanted to say something but hesitated. Clearly, Zhang Guoliang wanted to say something but didn't dare to. Chen Xing couldn't help but say. Old Village Chief, don't worry. There are only the few of us here. No one will know what you say. If you are worried, I will leave you my number. You can call me anytime.
Zhang Guoliang's expression changed when he heard Chen Xing's words. He wanted to say something but couldn't make up his mind. Finally, he shook his head. Yes, we have received the full subsidy.
It seems that someone has threatened you. You don't even dare to tell the truth. Ji Yifei said with certainty.
What does this lady know? Chen Xing looked at Ji Yifei and guessed her identity. Is she a staff of the county government?
Mayor Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Ji Yifei, a reporter from the county TV station. Ji Yifei looked at Chen Xing naturally and naturally.
Reporter? Chen Xing looked at Ji Yifei in astonishment. Realization dawned on him. The uncrowned king. No wonder Ji Yifei knew about this.
Well, I'm from the county TV station. I'm here to report your inspection activities in Zhaoliang County, Mayor Chen. Ji Yifei said.
Chen Xing nodded slightly. You said that the villagers have not received the full poverty subsidy. Is that true?
Ji Yifei didn't answer but asked, "Mayor Chen, look at the Village Chief's reaction. Do you think it's true?"
Chen Xing looked at Ji Yifei with a smile. "I'm the one asking you, but you're asking me back. If I knew, would I need to ask you?"
Mayor Chen, a reporter in our county just exposed an incident last time. Some people embezzled the poverty relief funds for other purposes, and the poor could only receive half of the poverty relief funds. Ji Yifei thought for a moment and said.
How was this matter handled afterwards? Chen Xing frowned slightly.
In the end, of course, it was left unsettled. To be exact, it was suppressed by someone. Even the reporter who reported it was fired. Otherwise, Mayor Chen, do you think the old village chief and the others would still be in trouble? Just look at the old Village Chief's reaction and you will know that I am right.
What you said seems to be right, but the old Village Chief didn't confirm your words just now.
The old Village Chief didn't dare to tell the truth because he was warned before Mayor Chen came to inspect, so he didn't dare to tell the truth. Mayor Chen, it's true that you are a big leader, but you are just here for an inspection. After today, you can just leave. If the old Village Chief told the truth, what would he do when his family and children are all here? So, Mayor Chen, do you think he dares to tell the truth?
Ji Yifei's words made Chen Xing frown a little. In fact, as a leader, Chen Xing knew that there were all kinds of deceit among his subordinates. It was not strange for the poverty relief funds to be embezzled for other purposes. However, as the place under his jurisdiction, Chen Xing didn't want to see this kind of thing happen.
Letting out a sigh, Chen Xing turned his head and cast a glance at the old Village Head. He saw that the old Village Head was only listening to them with his eyes wide open. The two deep wrinkles on his forehead were tightly knitted together, but he did not open his mouth to speak. Chen Xing helplessly smiled wryly. Honest people, honest people, easy to bully! And the most hateful people are those who don't even let go of honest people.
Ji Yifei didn't know what Chen Xing was thinking at the moment. Seeing that Chen Xing was silent, Ji Yifei said anxiously, "Mayor Chen, you are the mayor. As long as you say something, I believe it will be easy to investigate this matter and the truth will come to light."
Chen Xing's expression changed slightly. He looked at Ji Yifei with interest. "Miss Ji, you are a reporter of the county TV station. You dare to expose this matter. Aren't you afraid of following the example of others?
"I'm not afraid. At worst, I will be fired. I have hands and feet. Why should I be afraid of starving to death?" Ji Yifei held her head high.
"Haha, you have a backbone." Chen Xing smiled and looked at Ji Yifei. This woman was quite beautiful. With Chen Xing's current knowledge, he had seen many beautiful women, but not many of them had backbone.
No one knew what he was thinking in his heart. Chen Xing waved his hand. "Well, I know this matter. Let's stop talking about this."
"Mayor Chen, you don't want to ignore it, do you?" Ji Yifei saw Chen Xing's indifferent look and became anxious.
"If you can show me the evidence, I will intervene. Do you have any evidence?" Chen Xing smiled.
"I …" Ji Yifei was speechless.
Chen Xing smiled and shook his head. He was sure that Ji Yifei couldn't show any substantial evidence. Otherwise, she wouldn't have talked so much nonsense just now.
"Mayor Chen, I can't show you the evidence, but it doesn't mean what I said is false. Don't you think so?" Ji Yifei said anxiously.
"Well, let's stop talking about this. You should go back first. If someone sees you here, you may be in trouble in the future." Chen Xing smiled faintly. He had already given the order for the guest to leave.
Ji Yifei wanted to say something, but Yu Zhiyuan had already stood up and reached out to ask her to leave. "Miss Ji, go back first."
Ji Yifei had no choice but to leave.
In the room, Chen Xing looked at the old village chief, Zhang Guoliang, who was a little silent. He knew that it was meaningless to talk about anything else tonight, so he didn't say anything more. As for what happened just now, Chen Xing didn't mention a word, so as not to embarrass the old village chief.
It was a quiet night. The next day, Chen Xing got up and had a simple breakfast in the village. When they were ready to start today's trip, Chen Xing suddenly turned his head and said to the county chief, Lu Chengyi, who was accompanying him. "Chengyi, this investigation is over. I have something to do and have to go back to the city."
"Ah?" Lu Chengyi looked at Chen Xing in a daze. "Stop the investigation?" There were still two more days to go, and according to the plan, they had to spend the night in another poor village. The county had already made arrangements for this, but Chen Xing suddenly said that he would not be doing the inspection. Lu Chengyi was stunned.
"I have something to do. I will come back next time." Chen Xing smiled and asked casually, "Chengyi, how much special poverty alleviation fund does your county have every year?"
"It's more than 200 million yuan, 60% of which is allocated by the province and the city, and 40% by the county." Lu Chengyi said.
"More than 200 million yuan is not a small amount. The province and the city attach great importance to Zhao Liang's poverty alleviation work. Other places don't have such treatment. Your county should cherish it." Patting Lu Chengyi on the shoulder, Chen Xing strode forward with big strides.
Lu Chengyi was a little confused by Chen Xing's words. He thought that Chen Xing should be very clear about the amount of the special poverty alleviation fund. Why did he suddenly ask this?
