It was impossible to transfer the money to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Once the money was transferred, other units would also scramble to ask for money. Wouldn't that make all the previous efforts of County Chen go to waste? Lu Ming shook his head. He supported Chen Xing. Although the funds of the Public Security Bureau had also been reduced, Lu Ming still gritted his teeth and supported Chen Xing's decision. Anyway, the money could be saved from other places. Take the reception fee as an example. It was impossible for a unit to spend tens of millions of yuan on reception in a year. As for whether the money was really spent on reception, it was worth pondering.
In the final analysis, if Chen Xing deducted the money from this year's financial allocation to various units, it would not really make the units under him starve. Chen Xing had carefully calculated the accounts. Although Chen Xing had a domineering side, it did not mean that he was unreasonable. The Civil Affairs Bureau had to pay pensions, subsidies, and so on to the families of martyrs and the three old people. The money from the allocation that had not been deducted was more than enough, and the rest was enough for the Civil Affairs Bureau's funds for the next half a year.
Of course, if the people of the Civil Affairs Bureau went to the hotel for reimbursement every day, the funds would definitely be tight. If the expenditure in this aspect was reduced, the money would naturally be enough. The key was how the money was spent. Chen Ming was the boss of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Although the Civil Affairs Bureau was not a department with a lot of profits, it was much worse than the departments with rich profits such as the State Tax Bureau and the Land Tax Bureau. In terms of real power, it was not as powerful as a violent agency like the Public Security Bureau. However, as a local tyrant in the Civil Affairs Bureau, Chen Ming lived a comfortable life. He did nothing but eat and drink every day. His life couldn't be more comfortable. Chen Ming was naturally unhappy with Chen Xing's idea of financial allocation. No one wanted to live a poor life. Therefore, it was normal for Chen Ming to secretly play tricks. The reason why he dared to jump out first was that he thought he had found a very suitable reason. He could attack and defend, and Chen Xing could not do anything to him.
Lu Ming and Fang Xiao looked at Chen Xing eagerly. Chen Xing was the decision-maker. At most, they could only give suggestions. It was up to Chen Xing himself to make the decision. Based on Lu Ming's understanding of Chen Xing, Lu Ming still guessed that Chen Xing would not compromise, even indirectly.
"Secretary He, call Chen Ming to come here." After a moment of silence, Chen Xing had made a decision in his heart.
"What's County Chen's plan?" Fang Xiao was a little curious about Chen Xing's decision.
"The subsidy should be distributed by the Civil Affairs Bureau itself. It's good that Chen Ming cooperates, but he has to cooperate even if he doesn't want to." Chen Xing's tone was very tough.
Hearing this, Fang Xiao smiled bitterly. "Chen Ming is also a person with thorns in his head. I'm afraid he won't cooperate obediently."
"If he doesn't want to cooperate, I plan to ask the Audit Bureau to send a working group to the Civil Affairs Bureau to do a good audit." Said Chen Xing bluntly.
Fang Xiao and Lu Ming looked at each other. There was a little surprise in their eyes, but more of a look of understanding. It seemed that this was more in line with Chen Xing's style of doing things. Only Fang Xiao was a little worried. "Will this cause a greater backlash from Chen Ming?" If he went to the city and talked nonsense, he was afraid that it would be bad for County Chen's reputation.
Fang Xiao's words secretly reminded Chen Xing not to ignore Chen Ming's backer, Song Ming, the Vice Chairman of the Municipal Consultative Conference. This kind of retired old cadre might not be able to achieve anything, but he had the ability to do bad things.
The director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Chen Ming, received a call from He Qi. When he heard that it was Chen Xing's summon, Chen Ming's eyes were a little proud. He raised his eyebrows at the deputy director, Huang Bin, sitting opposite him, and said with a smile. "Chen Xing wants to see me now. I don't know if our young county magistrate will stick to the previous decision."
There was still no respect in Chen Ming's words. As a director, he should rush to the county magistrate's summon. However, at this moment, he slowly stood up from the chair and looked at the time. He was not in a hurry at all.
Huang Bin, the deputy director, also stood up and didn't forget to flatter Chen Ming. "Chen Xing is just an outsider. He has just arrived at Ximen, and he dared to do this. He must be unpopular. Director Chen, your action this time will definitely make people give you a thumbs-up."
"Hum, I hope so." Chen Ming snorted and walked out of the office with a smile.
The county seat of Ximen County was not big, and the Civil Affairs Bureau was not far from the county government. It only took a few minutes to get there by car. If he drove fast, he could even get to the county government in five or six minutes. Chen Ming got in the car and rarely told the driver to drive slowly in the county. Safety was the first priority, and there was no need to rush.
The driver nodded and thought to himself, "Did the sun rise from the west today?" He had never seen Chen Ming give such instructions before.
It took Chen Ming more than ten minutes to get to Chen Xing's office. At this time, Fang Xiao and Lu Ming had already left. Chen Xing kept Fang Xiao's last reminder in mind, but he didn't care much about it. He didn't know whether Chen Ming had the courage to go to the city to complain about him, but he was really not afraid of it.
"You're here?" As soon as Chen Xing walked in, Chen Xing slightly raised his eyelids. He listened carefully and found that Chen Ming's tone was neither cold nor warm, so he couldn't see through Chen Xing's real thoughts. However, when Chen Xing glanced at the clock on the wall, this subtle action showed the dissatisfaction in Chen Xing's heart. Chen Xing said lightly, "Sit."
Chen Ming nodded and sat down on the sofa opposite Chen Xing. Although he despised Chen Xing in his heart, Chen Ming naturally didn't have the guts to show it too obviously in front of Chen Xing, even though he did scoff at Chen Xing, the young acting county magistrate, very disdainfully.
Seeing that Chen Xing made a "squeak" and didn't say anything else, he lowered his head to the desk and seemed to be reading some documents, directly ignoring him. This quiet scene slowly passed by for another two to three minutes. Chen Ming gradually sneered. This was the so-called "study time". Chen Xing was dissatisfied with him, but Chen Ming didn't care. He was very patient and continued to "study". It didn't matter even if he sat until he got off work at night.
Another ten minutes passed, and the office was still deadly quiet. Chen Xing raised his head and glanced at Chen Ming. What was going on with the subsidies given to the martyrs' families and the three elders? Why didn't it be given on time this year?
County Magistrate Chen, it's like this. In previous years, the county's appropriation would have been given, and our bureau could also give out the subsidies on time. This year, the situation is different. The county's appropriation is much less, and our bureau doesn't have the money to give out the subsidies in time, so we can only delay it and see when we have the money. Chen Ming swore and looked at Chen Xing. He wasn't afraid that Chen Xing would be angry at all. In fact, he had some rebellious thoughts in his mind. He didn't know what this young acting county magistrate would be like when he was provoked.
Chen Ming was very disappointed. He couldn't see the expression on Chen Xing's face that he wanted to see. Chen Xing's calmness was beyond his expectation. Chen Ming originally thought that Chen Xing, who was a leader at such a young age and was full of ambition, should be the impetuous type. Chen Ming was somewhat disappointed with Chen Xing's performance at the moment.
Director Chen meant that when the county allocated all the appropriation, you would have the money to give out the subsidies, right? Chen Xing stared at Chen Ming in a calm tone. Under his calm expression, there was a hidden murderous intent. Chen Xing didn't mind killing an example to establish his authority. He had just become the acting county magistrate, and many people didn't accept him. Chen Xing knew that if someone wanted to offer their head to him to establish his authority, Chen Xing would never be lenient.
County Magistrate Chen, the reality is like this. If the county doesn't allocate all the appropriation, our bureau really doesn't have the money to give out the subsidies. You know the situation of Ximen County. The economy is lagging, and our bureau has no way to make money, so we really don't have extra money. Chen Ming sat up straight and said with a straight face.
I don't care whether your bureau has the money or not. The subsidies must be given out within a week. If you don't have the money, your bureau will find a way. If I don't see the subsidies being given out after a week, I will only ask you to take responsibility.
County Magistrate Chen, our bureau really doesn't have the money. You … you are forcing us. You can't ask our bureau to rob people in the street, can you? Chen Ming smiled bitterly with a perfect expression, but he didn't want to give in at all.
"I don't know whether your bureau has the money or not. I only know that this year's appropriation has been given out, and it is enough for your bureau's office expenses and the needs of the subsidies. If you really don't have the money, I really want to know where your bureau's funds have gone." Chen Xing glanced at Chen Ming. This was the last chance he gave Chen Ming. If Chen Ming continued to ignore his words, then his patience would be limited. As the head of a county, he had said so much to Chen Ming, but Chen Ming still "refused to come to his senses". Then, Chen Xing's idea of "killing people to establish his authority" would become firmer.
County Magistrate Chen, we really don't have the money. The cleverest housewife can't cook without rice. County Magistrate Chen, as a leader, you can't make things difficult for subordinates like us. Chen Ming said very "helplessly". His words had really provoked Chen Xing's authority.
Chen Xing's mouth curled up inexplicably into a smile. He stared at Chen Ming. After a while, Chen Xing suddenly said, "Really don't have the money?"
Chen Ming was stunned by Chen Xing's words. Then, he shook his head firmly. "County Magistrate Chen, we really don't have the money."
After Chen Ming finished his words, he seemed to be unwilling to give up and said, "County Magistrate Chen, if you allocate the part of the appropriation withheld this year, we will have the money to give out the subsidies."
